Need Help, Buying a used 350Z Nismo

[Texas325]

Hello All,

Planning to buy a used 07 350Z Nismo. Car has less than 15,000 miles and in impeccable condition. No history of wreck. The previous owner was force to trade-in the car by his mother since he was PCSing overseas.

Can you guys help me find a good price range to negotiate? What are some of the common issues that any Z have? Pro and Cons on the Z?

Also does the hood extend up more than it should be? It doesn't exactly flush to the fender where the hinge meets. The color of the Nismo lip kit doesn't match the shade of white on the car. Is that normal?

Is it worth getting a extended warranty as the factory warranty has expired?

Any help would be great. I also test drove it twice. Solid car, no damage, everything good.

The condition of the car is important however, the maintenance history
is what really counts especially on a sports car.
There should be a considerable amt. of maintenance done in 6 years.
NOT just oil changes.
*radiator service
*tires
*transmission oil
*brake and clutch fluid
*drive belt
just to name a few...
Proof of the service history is like GOLD

That's wrong. They go in the lower/middle 20s.

Welcome to NICO!

Do you have an online listing of the car with pictures or anything? Those could prove helpful to answer your questions regarding stuff with the body.

15k miles is awesome for a car that age. It also incredibly helps the value. NADA Guides has the car set at roughly $23,600 for dealer retail in good condition. Its rough trade-in value is about $18k. Of course, good condition means verifiable service history as well, so see if you can get service records or a carfax for peace of mind.

Good luck!

I have all the maintenance record provided by the dealer. The car was purchased and sold to the same Dealer.

I ended purchasing the car for $22,600. Nismo Plate #576
