Hi CDer,

I am set in buying (used) with what the title says and can't find a good deal here in Florida.

Problem is most are auto. Just test drove a G35 2007 59K miles that looks great and asking price? 22K. I said that is insane and walked out. Am I wrong or that's the price else where? I see a couple grand less for the same car but auto. transmission AND with navigation. Is that the price for wanting manual?

This one has only two options: moon roof and a rare spoiler, that all.

Your input please, TIA.

The manual transmission G35/G37's always fetched a premium over the auto trans version. It was the same deal when I bought my G35.

Crazy. I'd get a new 2012 Ford Mustang for that kind of Money. Even the V6 Mustang will out perform a G35.

Crazy if private party, not so crazy if you were on the dealership lot. Even though I buy exclusively private party I think its crazy how many people think their cars should fetch retail prices. Certainly can't blame them for trying though.

It is a dealership.

Thanks guys for the respose but I didn't know it was that crazy. If that's the case, I may have no option.

I drive a manual G37S coupe and it is great. The manual is definitely something you should try to get. Smooth shifts - an improvement from the last generation.

Try using crazedlist.org to search multiple CL sites in your area. You may have to search farther away from home to get what you want.

autotrader.com can run nationwide searches and I think do private party.

^ yes. In fact, that's how I got to go to this specific dealer. He didn't want to give me a copy of the carfax yesterday when I just got it for free on Autotrader today.

The dealer said that he bought it 20,500, which I doubt. He is basing his offer price on adjusted NADA clean title price. Clean trade for car is 18K

Car is one owner and dealer bought it at auction a month ago. Does this indicate anything? How can a dealer pay above a trade-in value at auction?

what HE bought it for is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is what you're willing to pay for the car. Go look up the dealer/retail price of what you're looking for on edmunds and kbb. That would be my stake in the ground for what this car should cost from a dealer.
