2012 Nissan 370Z NISMO For Sale in Bellevue, WA 98005 | Global Autosports

Been shopping for one of these for 6 months. I live in NY so would have this shipped.

My budget was around $30K, is it worth paying more?

What do you guys/girls think?

Still new! The Z of your dreams? I would negotiate the price a bit, tho... Older Zs are a lot cheaper in WA/OR. Not sure about the newer models. Don't take NY prices as the average. They are way higher. Check out the model on Craig's for cities all over and see what I mean.

It will cost you about $900 to ship it east - on an open-air car carrier (no car covers allowed on the highway!) Costs more than $1000 for covered transport - inside a trailer, out of the weather. Takes them a week to 10 days either way...

I'm thinking that for the money you should find the time to fly out there, check it out, buy the car and drive it east yourself. Great vacation and good excuse to see some of the country in your new Z! You need anywhere from four days to a week off, depending on where you drive. Me, I would loop south through Las Vegas and check out the desert - and the great American west! Zs love the desert! Death Valley, dude!

Actually, most of the guys here own - and are really turned-on by - older Zs. Yours is so new there's hardly an input history for it here. Sure, when people start reporting on it and asking Qs, the archives will grow. For now, all I can say from my perspective is, if Nissan has kept the original Z inspiration alive all the way from the 70s to 2012, just buy one. It's a special driving experience you will definitely love. There is really nothing like a Z.
