Reasonable price for 09?
 

I am offering $28,000 OTD for a preowned 09 Base+Sport+7AT package 28k miles to a Nissan dealer but he will only sell it for 29k. Should I just stay firm with my price and look somewhere else?

28k miles for a 2 years old car is bit high so I think my $28,000 seems to be reasonable enough. What do you guys think?

I'm confused with the above statement. :confused:

Anyway 28k miles for a 2 yr car is pretty high...

I wouldnt budge. Thats a 2+ year old car with 28k miles on it...

I'm at 22.5k and haven't had the car 1 year :-(

I'm looking at one in my area that is an '09 base + sport + mt with 21k miles and they are now down to 26k after starting at 28k a little over a month ago. I might bite if they go down to 25k.

Should be able to get it for $24-24.5k

I bought a 2009 sport base in April 2010 with 16k miles for $25,900

....so now that the car you're looking at is older and more mileage, there is no reason you shouldn't be able to cut them down a bit. $25k is the highest I would go

You're right. 24-25k is the range I'm willing to go for a 2009 base + sport. I really don't understand why so many dealers still want close to sticker for a 2 year old car. Many aren't willing to budge on price either. Last time I checked, the market for a 2 seat sports car is probably at an all time low given the state of the economy and gas prices.

buy private party then?

I got my 09, 7AT, with 13k for 24,900.

I got my 2009 Base Manual transmission non sport with 3500 miles on it for $26,500 back in July of 2010.

I bought my Base Sport M/T in March for 25K and it only had 11K miles on it. Stick to your price on this, especially with car sales as bad as they are right now.

Ironically, the one in my area jumped from 29,997 to 31,299 after a month of listing. Such a rip off for two years old car with 29k miles.

I am amazed at how you guys can get such a great deal for your car. I have been looking for almost a month in my area for a 370z deal but most of dealers are just crazy with their prices. No luck with private party :(

Yeap, check the Classifieds section on here. ;)

Got mine a couple weeks ago, '09 7A/T Touring for $25k with 13k miles on it.

Nice, where did you get it from?

Take mine for 25.5k with only 8k miles....

Supply and demand is what drives pricing. Supply from Japan was disrupted by natural disaster. Supply is low. Go to cars.com or auto trader and filter out your ideal car and see how many actually show up in your area. Then search nationally. I bet there still are not many exact matches nationally. These cars would sell for a few thousand more in a better economy. Prices are low.

Many things have to be considered when evaluating price. Options, transmission type, color, condition, mileage, length of warranty left, location. How much more value is 12 or 18 months of factory warranty worth? Condition is key when trying to determine value. The price difference between 2 identical cars can be thousands apart if one has worn out tires, stone chips, paint work from being abused. Lets say car A is perfect and car B has 75% worn tires and brakes, a few stone chips and is $1000 less expensive. Are you really saving money if car B needs $800-$1000 for tires and $500 in brakes in a 6 months? You would have to pay the $1000-$1300 out of pocket sooner or later for tires and brakes. You can roll in the additional cost of car A into your payments and not worry about future expenses.

There has never been a better time to buy if you can afford it. Just make sure you evaluate each car before buying.

I just noticed you are in Port Washington WI. My husband and I have bought a couple Corvettes from EVS in your neck of the woods. My Z is a AUTO in Chicago and I am selling it. I will PM you a link to my ad on this forum. If you are looking to spend a little less there is another white with sport, manual for $22.5K and 45,000 mi posted also. Good Luck!

Just responded to your PM.
Thanks

Got it from a dealership over here in New Jersey. Best price and condition for a while. Been looking for a G37, G35, and 350z for a couple of months knowing that the 370zs cost (for the miles) are a bit too high, but this 370z came from nowhere and I had to snatch it.
