My guarantee'd price through USAA car buying service is 31,321 for a car in my area (Middle GA). With Taxes (7%) plus a retarded 599 doc few and few others Im looking at roughly 34k OTD. Im just wondering for the daily driver with a few mods is the sports package really worth it.

Not if you want an auto. If you drive stick, I'd say it's a must. The Rev-Match technology is phenomenal. Plus, you get Rays which go for at least 2K for a set. The package itself is about 2K. Well worth it.

I just saw one for sale (it got sold already) 2009 for 29k that included sport/touring w/nav and it had about 30k miles; THINK they were selling it as certified. not bad

I found 2 Black Cherry 2010's, Touring, MT, Sport Package. No Nav, but you can get a nice aftermarket stereo w/ nav and bluetooth for 750 or so.

Anyways, I figure you can probably get them down to ~$31k. If you are interested, give me a PM and I will provide more details.

I appreciate you guys lookin' out for some well priced Z's for me, but I'm (extremely) OCD when it comes to my car. I hate buying used, and would usually refuse to, but in this case I might have to. But, if I do, I want it below 10K miles. I want to know that every chip, scratch, dent, etcetera is from ME and not somebody else. Haha, I'm bad.

I'm going to drive to see what I can get that one I posted (AutoTrader link) to. If I can get 13K for my Si (aftermarket parts killed me) I can afford it.

Also, I'm only into the Pearl White and Mont Blue.

If you are buying used, I can guarantee that the car will have rock chips UNLESS the previous owner clearbra-ed it! But honestly, I think you can have an 09 or even 10 for Touring + Sport for the price range you are looking for! Or you might want to revisit the option of owning a Z, when your finances are in order (I dont know the situation). Id rather be financially stable than buy a car and not be able to pay for the long-run costs. I know the latter seems hard to accept, but its something only an outsider looking in can tell you! Good luck!

No, I actually do understand this. And this isn't anything I'm forcing (I love my Si, I have over 15K in the engine bay) it just seems a little pushy when you're on a Z forum talking about nothing but buying it for the right price.

To me, it's a realistic dream when I'm 21 and have no bills. ****, my parents are even saying buy it since I have no bills (beings that'll all change after school). I've accepted since last August (first time I looked) that I may not be able to get it in "my price range" and that's okay. I'm going to look at that one on Autotrader and if I can't afford it, then I'm done til' my Si is paid off.

new model year
 

1 last thing. The new Z is out next fall. If you can wait, you'll be able to pick.

Well guys, after the extensive amount of mods I've done to my Si, and losing value, I was offered a great price for it when I went and visited that Autotrader Ad Z. I was offered 14K for my Si (still owe 8K) and got the Z for $29,999.

I'm officially a Z owner! :D (as long as the loan goes through, of course)

Got the price to where I wanted (monthly payment wise) and the thing has every option available for the Touring. Cannot wait to get my money back in order and start modding like I did my Si.

Congrats man! Was that a used or new?

Used, but it looks great. I wouldn't have taken it unless it did because I'm so picky. Only 7,3XX miles.

I have to wait for the loan go through (praying) and then I pick it up Saturday. I'll be sure to post pictures (:


Just a question though, the plate is drilled into the bumper (Jersey rules) but I don't use it. What do you think would be cheaper, getting it filled and repainted or (if possible) getting a new bumper, pre painted?

If you want a body kit, don't get a new bumper.

I didn't see a front bumper price (and you might could find used from someone else installing a body kit) but it looks like new comes unpainted so I think that would cost more than filling in the holes.

I don't want a body kit. I just want the holes filled, the right way, not with plugs. Didn't know if anyone had any links to where I could perhaps look at a new bumper or anything.. I'll run through the for sale threads.

I hope I'm wrong, but something seems amiss. Here's to good luck-

I'm in for pics

haha, I understand it sounds sketchy but the guy got rid of it because he had a kid on the way. They had it originally priced at $34K and it didn't sell, so for Presidents Weekend they set it at $29K and still no buyers (it's snowy up here in Jersey) so.. I reaped the benefits. But, thank you! :tiphat:
