Is this a great deal?
 

All,

I am back in the market for a Z, after selling my 2010 fully loaded to get a SUV for the family. Now I have the following which i am very tempted in getting

2013 Z
Sport
Nav
Midnight Blue
8000 miles
One Driver
Clean Carfax
----
Seller asking 30k.
I think i will pull the trigger ..But need advice.. Great price or nego?

always negotiate regardless

keeping my fingers crossed. hopefully i can be riding the Z this weekend :)

You can get a 2014 with zero miles on it for 1-2k more can't you?

Like 10 more
He's talking about sport touring with nav. I think it's a 43k car

correct. A new Z with auto/sport/nav will run 43-45K OTD.
I am trying to get the seller to nego down to 28K. He's stuck on 30K. It's been in his garage for 4 months no bite from buyers. He's an older gent who can't enjoy the sporty ride of the Z. Needs to sell it. I checked out the car yesterday. Very nice color comb. Love the red calipers.

So i proposed 28K cash. I would own tax on it, making the final price out to 29,000. Which is a great deal.

Let's see if i can a xmas present for myself :)

30k sounds almost too good to be true. To clarify, this is Touring with factory Nav?

I agree. Clean title?

28k is probably what CarMax would give him. I know when I sell cars if I'm going through the hassle of private party, then I want to make more than the easy path, which is selling to CarMax.

OP - if this is the car you want, don't let this deal pass you buy. Offer a more reasonable price such as $29000 or $29250..

Carmax has a new on (except 6MT) for $38.3. Not horrible. Just an FYI to folks here.

that's what i thought. It's a Touring (leather,etc..) with Fav Nav unit. Only reason he's selling is because it's not comfortable due to back/neck surgery and needs a practical ride.

His loss is my gain.. if the deal goes through.

The Carfax checked out. Only 5 records since buying the car. IT's the standard maintenance stuff at the dealership.

Price seems good at the range of 28k-30k.
At the end, you will be happy. Especially not dealing with the dealership.

Waiting on buyer to respond with counter.

In the meantime, there are massive discounts on 2013 loaded Zs. Found a new one in my area:

2013 New Z
50 miles
Sport
NAV
Auto
Midnight Blue
---
36000 before Taxes and Tags

I reached out the dealer. He's gonna work w/ me and see if we can get the deal done. It's been sitting on the lot for a long time.. i hope he's willing to get just rid of it to make room for newer models. year-end quotas to fill :)

seems like a v good price!.

I have a 09 base 23k miles never tracked with aftermarket nav kenwood (9960)... could i expect around 22 for mine?

go to edmunds.com and check out their True Value Appraisal. It seems to gives a decent estimate on used market cars.
