or just give me year and milage you forsee yourself gettign and i can run it all. also run it vs prices they are going for at delaer auctions as well.

I'm looking for a 2011+ with <30k miles. After talking with you guys, I think I'd like to snag a touring package if I'm paying less than $2000 extra because I have a feeling that an aftermarket head unit will hurt resale value and running the receiver for the XM is probably going to be a pain in the arse.

I just checked that website - it isn't quite as detailed as truecar.com - and it is telling me for a 2012 with 30k + sport + touring - nav, I should expect to pay $27,850 which I'm assuming is before TT&L.

There's a nice 2013 near me around that price. But I kind of like the front bumper on the 2012 model better... am I in the minority on that? I've heard the front bumper described as having "fangs" but I think it looks good.

NADA is what the car is worth as is in the listed conditions. we use it when buying cars to get the best price for profit reasons lol

2009-2012 with the original bumper is the way to go. i personally hate the 2013+ bumper. it's a remake of the 350 bumper which i also hated. no performance changes have been made on the Z since 2009.

Yeah, I thought the same thing about the 2013... that it looked just like the 350 bumper. It doesn't look bad to me, but I really liked the facelift on the 370 when it came out in 2009. Not sure why they went backwards.

You should check out truecar. It seems to be very similar to nada, but with more detail for the options.
