Help! About to buy Used 2009 Nismo.
 

Hey guys, new to the forum.

I have been doing everything I can to get into a 370z Nismo. I finaly found a (local) White 2009 370z Nismo w/ only 5k for mileage :happydance:. The dealer is asking 34,800.00. I am trying to get them down - there is "road rash" on the front right tire (I noticed it after I took the video), and a small scratch on the hood - even with those things noted they're not moving :ughdance:.

My concern is that it is a 2009 and I am paying 35K for 3 year old (about to be 4) car...

I honestly feel I should be paying about 2,000.00 less. Am I crazy?

What are your thoughts?



Thanks, in advanced, for all the help. Hopefully I can get into a Nismo and become a much more active member here.

They were selling for 35K back in 2010..... Just buy a new one if you are going to spend that much.

It's just that extra 8 grand or so is pushing it aliitle to far for me.

8K? You should be able to get one for invoice + 0%

Maybe I should just keep shopping. I've just had such a hard time getting one....... and I am really tired of dealer runaround. Have one in front of me for once is nice.

go to Hassle-Free Car Buying Experience from Local Dealers - TrueCar, get a bottom line price

I'll check it out

Are they still giving 0% on 2012 models??

It's because you're insisting on a specific model and color. The dealership knows they have you over a barrel.

That's pretty low miles for 09.

As far as I know yes. Even if they don't, it is probably 1.9% at the most

I just picked up my 2011 Nismo for 35k

Waaay overpriced. Here's one I found in my area:

Ill put it to you this way. I got my 09 with 5300 miles on it back in mid 2010 for only 33K.

Thank you for all the help.

Wait, isn't the Nismo you are interested in being sold from a Carmax dealership? If so the price is non negotiable. Thats one thing I really dislike about their company, however their prices are pretty competitive and the hassle free negotiating can be nice if the price is decent. I bought my Nismo from a Carmax last year. An 09 with 9k miles on it for 32k. My sister works for the company so I was also able to get a discount on top of that.

Yea it is being sold from Carmax - and trust me, the non negotiable price is some I dislike as well.
If they were asking closer to 33k, I would take it.
I'm just really worried on taking a bath with this thing if I need to sell it in a year or two - of course I don't think I will need to but just want to be safe.

The car sold..... These cars move so fast. Maybe I should have moved on it .......
Hopefully it's for the best and I find the Nismo of my dreams.....

Just posted on the forum.

Thank You!

Update on this car - it was returned but the person who bought it (it was bought soon after I passed on the car).

The guy who bought it and then returned it (Car Max has a 5 day return policy) said the car's transmission was damaged....

I may go look at it again - there was nothing wrong with the trans - maybe he couldn't handle the high catch point of the clutch?

Back in the dealer - I think I may pull the trigger ... its a brand new 2009...... No one has had any problem with this year outside of the oil cooler right?

read up on the steering lock issue... other than that you are pretty much good to go. a brand new 09??

What do you mean brand new 2009 this is 2012. 2009 was 3 years ago.

LOL. Bad play on words I guess - What I ment was its a 2009 that hasn't been used at all - really low miles, smells new, ect.
