It looks like a great deal but why would a car with just 4500 miles be sold at an auction?

Confused it with a Mustang?

ZeeBabar · 07-21-2014, 01:14 PM

and yet it was sold at auction.

Also, autocheck says it is a "base nismo"???

The way I heard the story is that the owner died inside the car and wasn't discovered for a couple of weeks. The car is pristine except for the odor.

Dealer buy and trade cars at auctions often. Most likely it was traded in an area where a sports car like 370 would be hard to sell, so they put it on auction for other dealers to pick it up if they think they have a market for it.

Volk Z · 07-21-2014, 03:23 PM

If the car was traded in and didn't sell then it would go to auction especially a unique buyer market car like a nismo.
I was going to trade my 2013 in with 4509 miles to the dealer I bought it from as they were going to give me 1000 less then I had it listed for and they said if it didn't sell in 2 or 3 months it would go to auction and they may lose money.

This was of course because I earned a good relationship with the sales manager and I told him I would buy a 2016 Z when they come out

wanker · 07-21-2014, 03:55 PM

Never under estimate incompetence. Especially by a dealer is unfamiliar with the car's make and model. I've seen non-Nissan dealers claim a Z is a Nismo, when it's not. So it wouldn't surprise me if the dealer priced the car based on a standard Z model, without appreciating a Nismo's mark up.
