Is this a good deal or not?

Sounds like a good deal to me, I don't think 200miles constitutes it to be classified as a used car. IMO

If the car has never been titled, it's not "used". It could have 10,000 miles from test drives and it can be classified as "new" if it's never been titled.

While 200 miles may be a lot for a 370z compared to a Sentra/Versa on the lot, I wouldn't worry about 200. 3-500 is my cutoff for new car miles. A dealer offered me a car with 800 and I swiftly declined.

PS: The sport package alone is not what would induce someone to put "pedal to the metal" on a Z. Someone who's going to do that will do it whether or not the car is equipped with the sport package.

He was saying non-sports car, not non-sports package. Someone driving a Prius 50 miles from another dealership obviously isn't going to be gunning it at red-lights up to redline and weaving in and out of traffic...hopefully. A Z? A valid concern.

^ BTW, i test drove one today, and I noticed the blind spots are real danger. I mean I couldnot see anything. The two small windows in the back are useless, I couldnot even peek out those two little windows to see if theres a car in the blind spots.

It's a real danger changing lanes on the freeway, because you have no idea if there's a car in the blind spot or not.

I drove my GF's car the other day, and it was like being surrounded by glass....no blind spots.

At first, it seems really bad, but you get used to it. Those mirrors are large enough to see quite a bit behind you if positioned right. Changing lanes is tough until you get in the habit of speeding up 10 mph to "clear" the blind spot! Haha! Jk, of course.

I also added a backup cam to help when backing up.

If I was looking for a new car, 150 miles on the odometer would make it used to me (and a lot of others on this board, I bet). The dealer knows that they're going to have trouble unloading that vehicle, and they should be willing to discount the price more than $365 below invoice. And if it had 500 miles on it - fuggedaboudit, it's used!

OK, thought he was talking about the sport package, and the Z is definitely a valid concern (that was my point)... BTW, is it possible to "gun" a Prius at a red light (or anywhere, for that matter)?
