HI, I am 18 years old fixing to graduate high school and I finally have enough money saved to get my first 2008 350z.

That is the car I am most likely going to buy and was wandering if it is a good deal ?
I would also want to know how much it would cost to make my z lookk like this


I also plan on putting a invidia n1 full exhaust onto it
I want to know how much to make it look like the second picture I provided. And also where to get bodykits and spoilers installed and painted ?

I am looking to buy my first 350z amd I need some second opinions and help on pricing.


The guy is selling a 2008 Hr 350z with 63k miles on it and wants $15,000. Already has a nismo v2 bumper, carbon fiber, hood, blacked headlights, and a spoiler . I was wanting to know if that seems fair and if not what should I talk it down to ?

Then i suggest you learn to prioritize things. First of all, the z you want is a restored title. Most insurance company wont fully insure that.

Secondly the cost depends on many variable from knock off pieces to paint shop and paint quality. It can be between 500 to 3000 to have the car looking like the second one.

Thirdly, its a waste of money since you will be going to college and that money is better spent else where. The 350z is not a cheap platform.

Looks good on my tiny screen, about 2x on price for rebuilt title. Even at half that I wouldn't do it.

I see what you mean. But I can afford it and school is the reason I'm asking. As for specifics I plan on getting the nismo v2 bodykit on it as well as the veilside spoiler

And uf you crash the car or something goes wrong, will you be able to fix it? If not, you cant afford it....

Edit: "if you have yo ask, chances are you cant afford it" wise words from 90% of the gearheads i know.

New front bumper = $500 + 400 Paint
New Sides = $350 + $300 Paint
Wing = $400 + $300 Paint
Rear diffuser body kit= $300 + 300 Paint
OEM headlights painted black = $20 bucks if you do it or $200 if you pay someone else
Coilovers = $500-1500
Adjustable suspension = $300 Front $150 Rear camber kits
Alignment & stance & rolled fenders $300+
Wheels & tires = $1,500-2500
Shorty Antenna = $25


Figure about $6,500 min

and just so you know... i sold my 08 Z that was nicely modded (around 6k parts on it) with about 12k more miles for 3k more than that rebuilt one

kbb for a non salvage title is 12200 for fair and 14500 for excellent..... rule of thumb for salvage title is 40-50% lower than retail

Holy 4x4 status!

I would check to make sure those LMGT4s are real before spending that money. I have my Z priced a little higher (to weed out low ballers((and cuz I don't want to sell)) and I have 62k on it.

I think it's a fair price, but why not NICELY try to talk him down. Ask how flexible he is on price and go from there.

Here's my Z if you want something a little more well rounded (suspension/exhaust mods)
