Buying a dealer "demo 370z," yah or nah?

atl370z

Hello everyone, I currently drive a rx8 and in the market for a new 370z.
I got offer from a dealer for a 09 white 370z "demo" car that is fully loaded (touring, sports package, navi & etc,,) with 2k miles on it for 32k. Is it too good to be true?? The car drives fine but i am just worring since it's a demo car. There is unclear history about the car and it's still "leagally new." Should I go for it or walk away from this deal?

$32k doesn't seem like a bad deal. Just inspect it very closely... if everything checks out I wouldn't worry about it being a demo.

You get a good deal and, if you're financing, you get the new car rate.

Just test drive the car and make sure it's sound too you. It's under warranty, and shouldn't scare you unless you feel something is wrong with it.

Clutch/transmission feel. I'd try to test another car to make sure it feels right.

Also check all of the body panels and wheels very closely for damage.

Try to get it on a lift so you can inspect the underside as well, want to make sure it hasn't been scraped anywhere by a careless driver.

That is ridiculous in my opinion, you can get a brand new 2010 with the sport package for $30-$31k . I wouldn't pay more than $28k for that. Got my 09 Black Loaded minus Nav with 3k miles for $26k....

Because it's a loaded T/S with Nav, and it qualifies for the new car financing rates. (and the 36k warranty starts at the date of purchase).

the car does need a wheel alignment though, it has a slight pulling problem to the right.

If it's pulling to the right because of an alignment issue and not because of the crown in the road I'd probably take that as a hint to pass it up.

Would indicate that something is bent. But check it on a smooth road to be sure it's not just the usual tracking issue.

x2 all around! (and +1 rep)

Have a body shop check it out for you. It's not uncommon for dealers to resell cars with body damage and try to pass them off as clean. And don't even get me going on the uselessness of a Carfax . Yes, this happened to me once .
