got boned on my last deal, help with new pricing!

Joepro · 09-03-2012, 10:24 PM

long story short, drove 3 hours to see a Z that I have been working via phone/email, the salesman calls me when I am 5 miles from the dealer to tell me another salesman was working a deal on it ans it was sold...looked at the car anyway and has some undisclosed flaws, good riddance. looking to persure one of these three:

2009 White Nismo, 26k miles - $28,600 (wish it had lower miles..but Nismo hmm)
2009 black nismo , 32k miles- $28,995
2010 White Base/Sport, 10K miles, 6 mo factory warranty left, 28,400.

Would love to walk away only paying 27k for of these...Going into fall here, but do these seem reasonable? The one I was going to buy was a 09 touring.sport for 26k, with 21,000 miles.

Any input would be appreciated, the two white ones are practically in the same town, I am going to go try and see both of them tomorrow afternoon. Going dealer because I am financing 20k with a PNC check ready and paying cash for the difference(up to 10k if needed, but less I pay for the car faster it gets modded!) So its practically a cash deal too.

$27K is totally reasonable. PM me and I'll share some additional details about a deal that I just made...

nmjaxx9 · 09-04-2012, 10:41 AM

sorry to hear the other deal didn't work out bud. thats crazy that they called you last minute like that, I would have them reimburse me for gas or something

As for the 3 new prospects I would go with either the 09 nismo or 10' sp. The black nismo is almost the same price as the white, but with almost 6k more, so that is out, unless you really like black.

Between the white nismo and white sport I would say you would have more bargaining power with the 09 nismo, as it is older, more miles. However, the base/sport is a year newer, and it has the warranty left over (if that is important to you). So I would say it boils down to who gives you the better OTD price. Either way with the 20k check plus 10 cash you should be walking away with one of the cars, unless they both sell.

is that a typo or did you say JUST 1400 miles? I mean, even 14k miles would be pretty good for that price, wouldn't it?

That's an amazing deal man, how did you get that?

Nope no TYPO ... 1,473 miles on a 2010 370Z

I was lookin' for a 370Z on Car Gurus and just happened across it ... had to travel 3 1/2 hours to get it but it was well worth it

martin82 · 09-04-2012, 12:46 PM

For 29-30K I would not even consider buying it used. I picked up my 2012 brand new for just a little over that.....

I agree. My sport was $31,200.

Buy new. Also all of the ones you're looking at may have the oil consumption issue not to mention will most likely need brake and tire replacements depend on how hard they were driven those dollars add up. I'd spend the extra 1-2k just to have a new vehicle I can know the entire history of.

Look for 2012s dealers are dying to get rid of them since 2013s are out. They WILL cut you a deal

YEAH but is that 31,200 OTD.

Or are you looking at like 34k-35 now.

It also depends where he lives too. In California, you can't even come close to a price like 31,200. Most people i ask seem to be hitting 34-36k OTD here in california for base+ sport.

And 2012 even a few months back was hard to find. Everything sucks in cali lol.

Joepro · 09-04-2012, 09:47 PM

Ya, PA sucks for sports cars, im looking in a 250-300 mile radius. I looked for leftover 12s and found very few withing my travel range, none the color I want. the 13s as stated all had the price bump. Average in the area according to truecar and my research is about 27k, which is my target price. Its 10k miles will factory warranty still left and plenty of power train for the one im going to look at tomorrow. I have MANY connections to nissan, so the used part does not bother me, for 4k I can do suspension/exhaust/intake easily.

Well dude if you want used or new I can get you the contact info for my buddy that works for Brenner Nissan down here in Harrisburg. He is something like one of the top 10 internet salesman in country or something. He can find anything you want. Just let me know and I can have home call/email you or vice versa.

It was 31.2 before tax, title, and tags.

If you could PM me that would be fantastic.

koeppelnissan · 09-04-2012, 10:01 PM

what do you need in the car? 6 speed or auto? let me know and I can help you find leftover 12s in the area for you!

Joepro · 09-04-2012, 10:10 PM

6 speed base+sport, prefer white, black second. GL, western PA is a depressed crap hole... I found one in Maryland, but its listed for 35, even if I got it for 32, I can save 4-5gs for a 10k car, for me the saving are worth it IMO.

KyleBucket · 09-05-2012, 12:44 AM

Seems like a lot. I got mine in 2011, an '09, fully loaded touring w/ sport, 7K miles, for $29,999.

Granted, it was President's Weekend and the dead of Winter, so they were desperate. I drove 2 hours to get it though. Like many are saying, it's all about searching for what you really want...
