About to make an offer on a used GT350R

[Sunny_M3]

Hey there my friends, I am on the brink of purchasing a very lightly used 2017 GT350R from a luxury car dealership (about 950 miles), they are asking $82,000 for it. The window sticker shows $67,845, but since it was used I was thinking about doing it for maybe $77,000.

I am pretty dead set on this car and have already put down a holding deposit (so they don't sell it). I am going to take it for a test drive tomorrow.

Let me know if my offer makes sense?

Also, keep in mind that I am trading in a 2016 Z06 for it

Thanks everyone

$10K ADM on a used R seems a bit high. Pretty sure you can buy new for that prettty easily.

If you already put a deposit Id say you have a little less leverage. But with that beind said that dealer has had that car already for a few weeks. I would honestly start lower...

Yeah, I think I might do $71,500 or $72,000; thoughts?

The price doesn't seem that far off for a 3rd-party dealer - they need to many money too. So $77k....I think they will take that considering they are likely ahead a bit on the trade. Not sure I'd pay ADM "and" take a bath on a trade at the same time, unless you just don't care.


edit: so what I'm saying is that I'd start lower considering the trade. It's likely still a good deal for them. Make them a serious offer and be prepared to walk if they don't take it. It's likely you'll get a call within a day.

Private owner, better chance at negotiating.

Oh, I am sure I can, but in Cali, new cars are going for big money; 90K and/or 100K are common among the very small number of dealerships that carry them.

So dont buy it in cali. Buy it out of state and have it shipped to you or go pick it up and drive it home. Why would you pay such a premium for a used car when you can get a new one for less?

Probably because he can. It is that which drives the whole market and ADM'S.

I purchased a used R out of state. You could probably find something for less, BUT!! not much more. 77K is a good number and would be surprised if they don't sell. My car had 2k miles and immaculately serviced and maintained with all pertinent documentation and a bunch of extra parts. Honestly, I have purchased cars from dealers still labeled as new with 1k miles or so. The price for the CA market does not seem to far off. Convenience however! Is a MF! And although I only traveled 1500 miles it still sucked, logistically with work and time.

The fact that a small amount will be produced in MY18, and that this is the last year, will likely sustain R values. Good luck.

As soon as the GT500 comes out, I suspect a few will be for sale... a hot sale.
