If you're worried about getting a better deal on your trade-in, why not go to a Carmax (if you have one in your area) and see what they'll give you for your car. Their offer usually is good for a week. Doing that will give you an idea how much to expect for your trade-in.

As for the Z, I bought mine used in '09 with 7,000 miles for $25k I have a MagBlack Sport Base 7AT. The dealer wanted $31k for it but since I didn't HAVE to buy it but I just really wanted one, I went with a low ball offer. The sales guy laughed at me but we went back and forth until we settled on $25k. Of course I told him a little white lie that another dealer across town was selling me one for $25k but I didn't like the color or some crap like that.
,
The point is, make them an offer, you've got nothing to lose. Yeah, they may laugh at you but hey, it's your money. The Z was my DD until April last year, that's when my daughter was born. Now, it's my friday-sunday car. Mon-thursday I drive my beater Hyundai Elentra.

Goodluck with everything.

I just came back from the dealer, he offered me 8k 'allowance' for my Si, i simply laughed.. final price OTD came out to $19k for the Z, told him i wont be able to pay more than $15 OTD. im honestly not in a hurry or anything, i love my Si too much so if i get what im asking for i might consider.. another thing that threw me off is that he told me today that the car is a 'nissan buy back' or something like that, meaning the owner returned it to the dealership because there was an issue with the clutch and the door and the dealership gave him a new one and supposedly fixed this one that im looking at..

What year is your Si and how many miles are on it?

So you turned down $8k for a almost 12 year old Honda civic.

Yeah man, too many signs pointing you not to get that particular Z. I think it would be best to either look at another one somewhere else or hold on to what you got. You said it yourself, you're not in a hurry. Might as well wait until you are happy with everything instead of being dissatisfied with your purchase.

Want to be convinced?

If you don't buy a Z I will kill you.

Jk

I check our source for trade in valve national average on your car is 9500, and no dealer will care its boosted or whatever mods you have. Sell it private party if you want more, its how the system works...Probably had a bad CSC, thats common unfortunately.

That's the best way to do it, especially if you don't want the mods to devalue the car. And if they won't play ball on the price on the Z, there's a bunch for sale here for similar prices.

Chuck33079 · 11-02-2013, 12:23 PM

OP- just on the first page of the for sale forums. I didn't pay attention to where they're located, since a Southwest Airlines ticket is under $200.

Nismo- ***** STEAL MY NISMO ***** Probably the Best Deal On Here!

loaded 2010 Touring/Sport with nav and less miles- 2010 370z touring

I'm not vouching for either car, I'm just pointing out that there's other options, some of them better, at or around your price point.

Chuck33079 · 11-02-2013, 01:43 PM

Ignore Andre, he doesn't own a 370. He's just here because the 350 forums banned him.
