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..

He also gets tax credit for his trade. Many if not most Honda owners like their own mods..Most of the time people's mods deduct the value.

It looks like this guy doesn't want to do the deal. Finding a buyer for a modded older car & getting the price he's looking for can take forever, if ever. He just wants us to beg him to buy a Z. That's how I see this, & I'm sticking to it.

Therefore my msg. to him is still, PLEASE DON'T BUY A Z......

I was thinking that I would get somewhere around $10k and I did tell the dealer that if he wants I could return it back to stock since I have all the stock parts.. didn't make a difference to him though

I agree! lots of signs.. first the car is listed with 17K miles, when I drove it, it was at 19.5K miles.. dealer claims it was owner's son demo car, then I was told that it had an issue with the clutch and the door that had to be replaced, which is something that they didn't tell me in the first place.. will probably keep looking around for a better option!! maybe even consider a BRZ/FR-S

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.
This is a really good option! I just don't think that I have time to travel to get the car, might take too long and I have school and work everyday, even on weekends

dude I wouldn't want you specifically to beg me to do anything, you cant even perform simple mathematical operations.. clearly you got some issues to think that I want anyone here to beg me, i just wanted to get opinions from people who already own the vehicle (excluding people like you) and the decision will be mine to make
