cfoster Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Does anyone know what the current dealer trade prices are for 350'z, say an 04 plate with average mileage? I'm looking at one on Saturday at a normal garage who apparantly bought it off of a dealer (VW funnily enough - guy traded it in for a Scirroco - nutter!!!!) as a trade in, just so I can get an idea of his markup so I can haggle a deal!!! Cheers Chris Quote

cfoster Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 thanks for that mate but this one is cheaper than all those prices!!! Not sure how accurate Parkers are with the current climate Chris Quote
martinmac Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Prices are still falling so you would expect the saleman to have got it a the right price. There is a lot of problems getting people to underwrite trade ins at the moment, on any performance cars. May be worth a cheeky bid. Quote
Andy Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I agree that the prices on Parkers seem a little high but as far as I know, it's probably the most reliable source at the moment apart from trawling Autotrader & Pistonheads to work it out yourself. Quote
sl114 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Its very worrying seeing the prices like that. I remember when i bought mine 2 years ago and it was worth a lot more than that! Quote

If you think that one was cheap, this one is very similar to your old one for nearly half what you paid for yours: http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... x_mileage= Quote

cfoster Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 scary i imagine when people have bought one 6 months + ago. Problem is do I buy now or wait further?!! How cheap will they actually go?!! Quote

Yours will be approaching that mileage now Its still only done around 12k a year which is nothing..... Quote

Probably not, Chris - who bought it - hardly drives it as he is always away on business. 12k a year is pretty good though, so about average for a car of its year. I always have a policy though, i would never buy a car with mileage over 25k. I like low mileage cars Quote

Nothing to do with things going wrong, its all about resale, someone is more likely to buy a car with lower miles than one with more in my eyes. Plus my dad always said so Quote
Shuck Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 It's a bit like making your kids come in early - pregnancy can't happen before 10:30pm....... Brilliant comment, had me in stitches in the office and now I'm being looked at as if I'm mad! Each to their own though, if we all had the same criteria for a car we wouldn't have all the different colours, makes and models. As nice as the Scirroco looks, its a Zed all the way for me! Quote

You struggled to sell your car due to the spec and price, nothing to do with mileage. The right car at the right price will always sell Quote
greido Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I've just read the ad; it states that it's a UK supplied car but doesn't have leather. I thought that leather had always been standard in UK cars? If that's the case and the seller has told a wee white lie about this, you'd have to take the rest of the info on the car with a rather large pinch of salt and I dunno about you lot but I'd never buy anything from someone I didn't fully trust. Maybe I'm wrong about the leather but I prefer to be sceptical about everything; that way I can only ever be pleasantly surprised. Quote
Chris`I Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 UK GT cars have leather. Non-GT dont have leather AFAIK Quote
p1tse Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 prices do vary alot, as i posted my local nissan dealer has a 04 at like £16k area but i've started to see some trade and private dip below £10k, even for uk gt spec with below average mileage i know my TT is dropping in value too, but not as quick i think, so am holding out for now, unless i can find a decent place for a p/x / swap deal Quote
djw6 Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I gave just short of £15k for a 350Z, 55 plate this week with full service and still under factory warranty for a short while. These things still seem to be trading well. I sold my previous car as well this week and I had atleast 10 calls a day off autotrader. Sold it to the first person that called so there is plenty of interest for second hand cars still, just not new ones! So maybe they won't sell to many 370Z which will stop the rot on our prices Quote
Cool Hand Luke Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 I wouldnt pay too much attention to Parkers prices - what you need is someone to give you the value from the most recent editions of Glass's guide or CAP black book and take it from there. Far more accurate as they are used by the trade. Quote
p1tse Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 what colour and spec is it? i saw a gunmetal with alezan advertised at a vw dealer not long ago Quote
cfoster Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 the one i'm looking at is a azure blue 04 plate with 24k on the clock! Quote
djw6 Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 GT, Gunmetal, Alezan, low mileage. Saw another one though that was an 06 plate, had done 12k miles and was up for £22k Quote
cfoster Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 Blimey that sounds steep!! £22k?!! Quote
p1tse Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 the one i'm looking at is a azure blue 04 plate with 24k on the clock! i've seen one advertised for about that with the market, turn of the new year, new 370z etc. i can see many of these going to be around the £10k mark. looking at a private sell, someone sold one similar at just sub £10k this price will be alot better than trade, so people will either hang on to them, or more will try to sell privately and recoup as much above trade but then again, there are people out there going to be paying like £16k for the same car. i can't believe bristol wessex garages has a 2003 at £16-17k!!!
