Deal or Not?

Archie21 · 08-26-2008, 06:27 PM

Im new to 350z's and im not really sure what a good price for a used one is.

At a local dealership i found a black 2004 Z for $23,500
(i think its the touring edition)

It has:
11,800 miles
AEM Cold air intake
Black aftermarket rims (forgot the brand)
Invidia cat back dual exhaust

I am wondering if that is a good price on the car. I can find stock 03 and 04 Z's with 30000 miles or more for under 20k. Would i be better off getting one of those?

Thanks for any help.

Too many $$ for an 04 but low milage is attractive.

Whatever you buy, have a mechanic check it out first.

If you're in the market for an '03 or '04 set your price point @ 15k$...
work from there. LOTS OF DEALS all around. breathe the airrrrrrrrr

Well im looking a z in general i dont care what year or trim package it is.
The cheaper the sooner i can get it.

^^Ive been in your position before...dont rush it. Take your time, look on craigslist, ebay, cars.com and find the right Z.

If you CAN spend 20k, find an 05-06'ish with decent mileage. Id rather take a later year with more miles. Plus try to go as STOCK as possible.

No aftermarket ebay crap.

remember to look here on the forums too.

you may be able to find a car that has been "tastefully" modded, and save yourself some money on aftermarket parts, and labor.

just an idea though.
