Round 2: Lets do this right

Other thoughts and considerations:

1. I am interested in the sports package because I love the 19" rims. Truth be told I could always just buy new rims as there are many attractive styles available, however the RAYS are pretty stylish and I would rather finance them in than pay out of pocket for new ones later. The stock rims leave something to be desired. I'm not a track guy and have no intention of ever racing my car so I dont care about the brakes. In fact I would probably upgrade to perforated brakes in the future just for appearance.

2. I also love the spoiler/illuminated kick plates. Again these are options which are potential addons separately. Should I consider doing this? Or would it just create a laundry list of requests for the dealer that they couldn't fulfill? I'm not sure if they keep all these parts in stock and can just throw them in at any time or what.

3. The same is true for the touring package. I found the cloth seats with manual controls to be a little difficult to tweak to my liking. I have a feeling leather will offer a more comfortable ride and power seats will enable me to frequently adjust seating arrangements for all occasions (cruising vs "spirited" driving).

4. I intend to replace the entire sound system with my own so I dont care what it comes with, thus might it be possible to exclude bose from the purchase price, but still get those other touring options?

As you can tell I want a rather specific build for this car, but I'm not sure if I'm being unreasonable and need to just accept certain packages and finance it in, or tack them on as a series of upgrades as I can afford them. Which direction would you choose?

Okay first off, you cannot find a vehicle with no miles, that is near impossible, if by no miles you mean like 10 or less miles then yea that is possible. Second, some of the specifications you want for the car such as tinted windows, illuminated kick plates, can be added on later. The more specific you get the harder it will be to find the right vehicle for you.Right now you should concentrate on the basics year, model, trim, and other small details that you may want such as the sports rays, spoiler, and leather seats.

According to those specifications I did a little bit of research and found a black 2011 sports+touring for 37,991. Now depending on how well you are able to negotiate you may be able to get the car for how much you are willing to offer. Here is the link to the car listing-->2011 Nissan 370Z Touring, $37,991 - Cars.com

Approach your dealings with an open and reasonable mind, don't expect to get everything you want in your car from your dealer, and remember that most of these things can be added on later. Right now concentrate on getting the basic specs out of your car, and you should be fine. Good luck.
