How do you explain this....
 
The link below is for a 2012 370z with under 5k miles. How can that be possible? How can the car find itself in a Dodge dealership?

Is there anything fishy?

People trade stuff all the time. My first Z was from a Ford dealer. The PO traded it for a 5.0 Stang.

ZeeBabar 08-20-2014 09:07 PM

But a 2+ year old car with less than 5000 miles? Why would anyone trade it. Even if they did, why is it not been resold and resold? I will see if I can check a car fax.

I bought my 2012 Nismo from a Ford Dealer with 19,000 miles. Previous OP also bought a Mustang...LOL

It's hard to say. Zs have never been hot sellers due to everything that makes them a Z. Perhaps it was bought as a second vehicle, driven very little over it's ownership, then traded / sold when the owner realized that it was not worth the expense or decided to upgrade to a new Viper, or something.

Hey ZeeBabar. It is possible. My Z is over a year old and I have around 2k on the odometer.

Its about how an owner uses their Z. Obviously mine is not a DD and only a weekend car. Plus being in Illinois it sits in the garage about 4 months out of the year while I wait for an end to the freezing temps.

I were to trade mine in now I would expect potential buyers to have the same response.
Give it a shot and take a look at that Z. It might be legit.

doesnt necessarily mean that the car was traded in at that dealer. dealer can buy used cars from auctions and other dealerships, etc.

Yup, I bought my 2010 in June of 2012 with just at 11k. Some people think they want a two seater and when they realize it's not the best riding, it's noisy and the visibility is not great, they get rid of them fairly quickly. Good luck!

I bought my 2012 370Z roadster at a Honda dealership in January. it had less than 7,000 miles on it. The previous owner traded it on an Accord. I got a great deal.

something tells me youve never been to a dealership before. They've got all sorts of other brands traded in daily...including nicer used cars than they sell new

Rusty 08-20-2014 11:31 PM

My Nismo. The first owner bought it new in 4/11 in WV. Then traded it in on a 4x4 in 11/11 with 8,000 miles on it in Pa. The reason he trade it in is because he couldn't drive it in the snow. Then I bought it in 12/11. :D

Limeybastard 08-21-2014 12:01 AM

To OP, mine was traded in at 1500 miles to dealer also which I bought from.

Benibiker 08-21-2014 12:29 AM

People do crazy things, I know... I traded in a 2011 Lexus IS 250 after owning it a month and only 650 miles. To make it even stranger I traded it for the very Mini I had traded in on it. I paid what they gave me on the Mini and only lost $2k on the IS. Couldn't stand the Lexus. Hey, it was like a month long rental :icon14:

ZeeBabar 08-21-2014 06:22 AM

I can understand trading in a low mileage car but this nod is 2012. So, if someone used it and traded it in, why has it not been re-sold. It's not the low mileage alone, it's the low mileage for a 2112. I have not seen any other 2012 car with that low mileage. Yes, 2013 but even there, they had more miles.

Datsun240Z71 08-21-2014 06:25 AM

My 2011 was 2 years old with 6k miles. Bought new at the same dealer I got it from where it was traded for different color at 6k oil change by previous owner. Her loss, my gain!
