Thoughts/Opinions on Used 370Z Purchase
 

Hey all,

First post on the forum. I've been lurking for a couple weeks doing research, and found everything to be very helpful. :tiphat:

I've made progress on a deal and wanted to get input on whether or not you guys think it's a fair one. Here's a link to the car: Certified Pre-Owned 2010 Nissan 370Z Touring,LTHR HEATED P/SEATS,NISSAN CERTIFIED For Sale | Arlington, Alexandria, Fairfax VA P13821

Certified Pre-Owned 2010 370Z Touring
~20K miles
Price: $30,914
7 yr/100,000 mile extended warrenty

While at the dealership, I was able to get the price down to $28.5K. They also brought the trade-in offer up from $3K to $4.3K (above fair condition KBB for my '03 accord -- I was actually surprised with it having ~150K miles on it). It comes out to be a total amount financed (after all tags and taxes) of $25,567, and that is with zero down payment (I plan to put down at least a grand). I was pre-approved with a 2.99% rate (60 mo).

I checked the underside of the steering column and it was the "C" part number, so I'd be free from the lock-up problem.

It's not the perfect deal, but it is within my budget. What do you think? Should I have any concerns?

Thanks for your time,

Josh

I just bought a 2010 (CPO) like the one you are looking at, except with the sportier wheels and with only 8,000 miles in MINT condition for 26k. So, from the sound of it, you got them down to a reasonable deal. I'd say go for it....but in the end it's up to you.

Whatever you decide, good luck! It's a great car!!
