How do you explain this....

Silly Rabbit · 08-21-2014, 06:31 AM

My 2012 was traded in for an SUV due to upcoming kids. It only had 3200 miles on it when I bought it in March.

mishuko · 08-21-2014, 07:27 AM

2012 with ~10k miles. It was traded cause the guy had a few little ones. Although there is a child seat anchor so it's kid friendly!

I sold my 2013 370Z 10 months later with fewer than 8000 miles.

Is there anything fishy?

Don't do it! It's a Decepticon!! Run away as fast as possible and contact the Autobots for backup!

Purchased my used 2013 Nismo with 1800 miles on it. They had the care for over a year and never drove it?

They had more money than time

there is nothing wrong with that. some people buy a car and don't like to drive it much. i bought a 2005 rsx-s in 2011 and it had only 5,xxx miles. the guy only drove it on the weekends when it was sunny up in grand rapids. he said he never drove it in the winter or when it was raining. i mean it was only a rsx-s lol. within 3 years of owning i put over 100,000 miles on the car. just depends from person to person and how much they drive.

ive also bought a car new and sold it within 6months. 6k on the odo. could not like the car.

I bought my 2009 last year with only 6,700 on it, it was at a vacation home of an older Chinese couple. It was at a Honda dealer where they traded it in on a Pilot because it was to hard to get in and out of.I didn't believe the dealer when he told me that but I found a bunch of their info the car.

Why did you go from a new Z to a new Genesis? They are quite similar, but also quite different. What drew you to the car? That's not a trade that I would make.

Just bought my Corvette Grand Sport 2012 with less than 3k miles on it two months ago. The warning tag for the airbag in the glove box was still hanging there. So yeah, it happens.

Story on mine was some 70 year old guy who owned 8 Vettes traded my car in to buy the new Z28 Camaro.

mishuko · 08-21-2014, 10:30 AM

oh yea forgot to mention... from an Acura dealership =)

husarowns · 08-21-2014, 10:38 AM

My 2010 had 25k miles on it and 1 previous owner. I was a bit baffled by the low mileage. But by the looks of it nothing is damaged minus a few tiny Rock chips on the front end. I bought it in 2014.

husarowns · 08-21-2014, 10:44 AM

Forgot to mention the car fax was clean....as long as there are no mechanical issues or aesthetic who cares....just do the research on the car. Here in VA we have a shop that will do pre buy car inspections for a small fee

I bought my 2012 with 1600 miles on it from CarMax. They got it from a local Chevy dealer...

So in a nutshell, nope, nothing fishy here.

kenchan · 08-21-2014, 03:18 PM

kudo's to carmax for having that 7day grace period or something where you can return the car for a full refund or store credit.
