Recently i've begun to look south of the border for a Nissan 350z. I was just wondering if anybody knows any good sites for finding used vehicles in the states! I've googled some things but i've only been able to find dealership vehicles so far....i'm looking for private sales. If anybody could help me out that would be great!!! oh also the areas i'm leaning towards looking at are the warmer states ie. california,florida,texas

Also, I would recommend against looking on a 350z board for a car because everyone on a specific car board thinks their car is god so the prices are higher than they should be.

Craigslist is good. When i was looking in the US, i would go through the US autotrader and cars.com, with a zip code in coere d'alene or seattle, as well as ebay, and all the craigslists in the North West.

Everyone remembers 90210 cuz of that gay "Beverly hills 90210" show back in the day.

Edit: I think cars in the US is getting expensive now...Maybe it's because our dollar? :dunno:

I found mine on autotrader.com but also used cars.com and ebay.

I made a road trip out of mine- 5 days, 2 rounds of golf, some national parks- all in all it was pretty cool!

Although they are typically enthusiasts and keep the cars in good shape, they want outrageous amounts for their rides. One guy has been trying to sell his car on the G35driver forum since september at a firm price. I also ran into a few others that could have used a slap in the head- they would tell me a price they would sell the car at and then back down and try to squeeze a few hundred more dollars from me, then they ended up pulling the car off the market because it would not sell lol...
