I'm half tempted to show up with cash on Monday. . . But we all know if it's too good to be true. . . I'm looking for a Daytona Blue Z anyways. I think I'll wait until the 370's are on the road. I imagine dealers will be forced to lower the price a bit.

If this is legit then it looks like someone would get a hell of a deal.

That's not really that good of a deal. The car is almost 5 years old, with 6 years of mileage if he got it in '03.You can't base a car on the mileage either. You can still "roll back" a digital odometer, it's just a little harder.

Check Kelly Blue Book or Edmunds. The private party sell value on that car is around $14,000. A dealership would sell it for even more. That is a good deal. And, how do you figure 46k miles as six years of mileage. The average driver puts around 12k-15k miles per year on a car. 46k miles would only be 3 to 4 years worth of mileage. I think there's something wrong with this car that the seller is keeping a secret. Scam.

350z prices are dropping pretty low maybe cause the 370 is coming out

The 300zx prices are pretty low as well but one in great condition will cost you around $10,000

but for a Twin Turbo ur looking at 14,000 to 19,000 for one running in great condition, with a decent paintjob and wheels

the markey must be very different in TX, granted low miles cars are getting rarer and rarer, but it's rare to see a Z32 nbring more than 12k these days

you are exactly right, cars are a depreciating assest, from the minute you sign the paperwok. in the american market, most cars hit bottom in 5-6 years, thats all detroit wants you to keep one, then buy another. (i had a ten year old ford, low milage, that my local dealer refused to work on). but the lower the number of cars built, or imported, (rarity) and how well they hold up, and are maintained, determines how fast they will start appreaciating again. look at the older datsun 240 z's what are they worth now? most cars are built for the masses, i dont see a 350Z in every driveway, which by nature makes it a "speciality" car. the value may drop, but it will rise again. to what level? only time will tell. just my opinion.
