Just moving around money and working hard. Did you buy new or used

She was a certified preowned! The dealer was using it as a loaner for Z and GTR guys!
Only had 2K miles when I scooped her up!

Damn. How did you come across that deal? If you don't mind PMing me what you paid unless that's to personal for you. I am just trying to work some things out in my mind.

No Prob

Been driving nissan since 2002(year I was able to drive) and vq owner off/on since 2005. I can tell of all the cars I've driven it's the best price to performance import you can buy.

You can purchase a built 350z with low miles for under 20k. My advice purchase one already the way you wanted.

My only problem is I like my own blood, sweat and tears in my cars. Sure it cost a lot extra that way but it's mine and no one else's which brings my conflict in.

True that, build it yourself exactly the way you want! Something you can be even prouder of and know exactly what in it n whats been done

:iagree:

but

G35 20k
All parts I wanted that I could afford.
Volks, Vortech SC, ect... 15k in parts.

= 35k+

Yes I know. It's not right to feed off of someone else is VQ passion, but they're built VQ's selling ever day. At least its going to a home where it's taken care of.

Fun facts.
My cars never get rained on, always assisted by professionals when I don't have the know how, and waxed ever 3rd week of the month.

Yep building them is fun, but if I was to sell my ride I wanted to go to someone like me. Last I hear my G35 was put through the ringer with the new owner's brother ( you would cry if I told you). Even knowing the past owner of my G37 is driving a 100k BMW he still contacts me ever few months just to see how the G is coming.

Only down side is you take a chance in how it was taken care, but I have ever record of the car since day one. Every oil change, GTM invoice, and labor.

People like us are on the market place isn't hard to find.

Repair/seal wheels $700
Body kit $1500
Interior repair $300
Head lights $400

Guess what, build this exactly the way I wanted it is only 3k or less.

anyways that's my option.

How hard is it to get a auto loan for a car outside of a dealership. Don't think my bank would do one. Because if I buy from a private seller I'd need cash on hand where as if I buy a car I build credit and can save a little cash on down payment

The main issue is the title. Most major banks want title 1st then they approve you. Chase, Regions, and Captial one turned me down. Had to use a local credit union to get approved only after I had the seller fax me a copy of the title, and bill of sale.

If you show prove of insurance, bill of sale, and copy of title. Most local banks, and credit unions will give you a cashiers check or wire transfer.

imo wire transfers are the better option. I called my bank with proof of title sigined, and bill of sale with a copy of his driver license.

After wire tranfer (3 hours later) we drove to the DMV to make it final. Most of state DMV's will charge 4% tax only and pay the different once you enter your state. For example, FL charged me 4% for a reg, and plate. Drove to New Orleans payed 3% different and got my local reg and plate.

This way it assures you that you're driving legal and the seller can't back out.

If the car has a loan still you have to pay it off 1st then repeat what I just listed once the title is in hand by the owner.

Local take the owner with you to the bank with his reg, and payoff. You will have 0 issues long as you're not purchasing the car 20%+ over retail.

My only advice is don't purchase in till you have all the facts. Took faith in the seller before fully looking at mine. Still got a great deal, but notices wheel damage and crack on my dash after the deal was done. Not saying I would talk him down more, but $500 less for my troubles of repair would've been nice.

All and all my experince was great. His family was really nice to me, and gave me a place to stay for a few days.(which anyone that's decent would have done the same)

Yes yes yes. It's not you're built VQ, and you have dings/cracks/scratches.

but

You're spending 50% less then it would have costed you out of pocket, and to fix all the small issues plus additional mods that you wanted is fraction.

New G37 (Q60) 40k base + TT 15k + rays wheels $3500+ = 58k+

Just saying.:tup:

Looking to purchase a built VQ keep you're eye on this.

http://www.the370z.com/370z-sale/955...-2-gtm-sc.html

His still light years away from offering a decent price, but if you can wait a few months it should be 25K ish which isn't a bad deal the car.

Most sellers think that mods raise the price of the car. In less it's a 2014 with 5k miles with 20k+ worth of IF work. Most likely not IMO.

Take notes, and make sure you're not a window shopper when you contact them.

When I 1st contacted my pasted owner's car I showed a screen shot of a 790 becon score, and 30k liquid cash. Just don't fold and make sure you puchase a VQ in the same ball park everyone else is, BUT MAKE SURE YOU'RE NOT WASTING THERE TIME.

Most TT build VQ's done right with decent miles shouldn't be over 30k.

Shout out to KaienZ34, had a good time today. He watched me run a Dodge Viper GTS, and he took me to the back roads by 310 off of HWY 90.

Afterwards we made a pass by west end and I took out a C6 at the 200ft on the way home.

PM me if ya'll want to get together. More the better.

P.S. two VQ's running in a pack made necks break 24/7 yo....

We need to revive the LA scene down here, come on guys/gals. Attachment 96004
