Advice on buying a Z

[Howdog70]

I second the recommendation of Nick Scherr at Avondale. Nick made the buying experience very pleasant. Very knowledgeable and energetic. I'm 78 and 6'2''. The performance is perfect for me.

Nick is now at Pinnacle, no longer avondale. His email is [email protected]

Z Performance - there are great deals on 24 new left overs - in low 40s range. I would avoid hail damage car altogether.

Thing is, I cannot wait. I leave for a 3+ week road trip of 4k miles fromSt. Louis to Montere, Ca then a week there, up to Oregon before I head back. I leave on September 1st.

carmax takes about 1hr.

Go for Performance trim. I bought a Sport trim about a month ago because I was thinking of short term ownership. If you add all the parts the Performance give, its a better value.

The Sport trim braking is not the greatest .

I’m older and have the Heritage performance. It’s is a very comfortable GT car. Seats are a bit narrow for my 6’4” frame but plenty of headroom.

It’s far superior than my previous GR86. There are great deals to be had and I would avoid a car with hail damage. I bought mine for $42.5k OTD with 1,800 miles on the odometer. I’m still pissed because I know I left $ on the table.

The Z depreciates like the SS Titanic so if you are worried about that just walk away. Trade in on mine is $35k and I just took it home a month ago. $62k sticker and just one year old.

Funny I’m in a Z after ‘22 and ‘24 GR86 models. Those are real sports cars.

Correct! I enjoyed it but when you can’t have a conversation doing 80 on the highway with the person in your car, that’s a problem. Truth be told, I did not daily mine but it was too raw for me. I wanted the Z in 2022 but could not find one. I settled and it cost me some

I was offered a 25 for 6k off a sport. I did not buy it as I found a 24 performance with 500 miles. I got that for 43,500 with. O stupid dealer fees or other crap.

I thought I did good 2025 Red/Black Performance used with 300 miles, original woman had it from 6/5 to 6/21 and trafed it back for a larger used car and cash as hubby had a problem entering/exiting, picked it up on 7/22 for $42,833 plus $987 dealer fee, reg and taxes. Full factory warranty from 6/5 and 300:miles less on warranty. Mgr even said I get the customer care 3 free oil changes within 2 years that is on the maroney as it is attached to the vin.

Wow very low taxes. Or that was just the fee? Best in the country I think...
