So I've been in the market for a 350z/370z for a while and finally decided to go with a 350z for the time being, as it's a smarter choice for me. Anyways I've looked at this car once and am going to be going back to make an offer on it.

Just curious if there's any specifics I should have a look at / stuff I could use to bargain a bit before I finalize the sale? Or if it's maybe even a car you've seen on here before, any advice is appreciated

Also here's a link to the car -

Think again. $CAN15,500 for a 2003? And, every one of those mods detracts from the value.

EDIT: the JWT clutch/flywheel is OK.

what do you think it should be valued at then? I know everyone says they shouldn't get money for after market parts/mods ect but it'll be saving me money in the long run opposed to buying a stock car for 10-13k and sinking another 7-10k into it.

I wouldn't buy any car with those mods, regardless of price. It's got what look like 20" wheels, shitty Chinese headlights, cheap Chinese coilovers, aftermarket steering wheel w/o airbag . . .

Even if it was totally stock, it would be maybe an $8K car at best. It's 12 or 13 years old. For $15.5k you could find an '07 HR if you had some patience.

My car still for sale, if you are interest let me know. Still 38k Km that's about 24k Miles. Asking $24k in Canadian dollar that's about $18k us currency. I will put the car for sale on the forum this weekend. Thanks

Those headlights are awful also. They shine straight to the sky/3rd story of buildings. I had then on my car for about a week.

verdict.

Personally, I would pass on this car and keep looking. Good luck on your search.

Mw870

Alright, well thanks for the input guys...kinda sucks to hear since I'm on a pretty tight schedule to get a new car but I guess I'll keep looking, I was able to get him down to 13 on the car I posted.

I just checked where chilliwack was and it's pretty close to vancouver, and I remember last week browsing through that there was plenty of options there and also bellingham,WA.

Mw870

yeah there's quite a few but I've looked at a good chunk of them, the one's at the dealerships are far from good condition as well. And I am also coming from vancouver island so have to account for travel expenses and a day of my time. That and a lot are out of my spending range, (I want to come away around 16k at most) And then accounting for the fact I'm only interested in manuals as well cuts it down furthermore.

verdict.

If you're willing to take on the above mentioned "pet peeves", or they don't bother you, go for it.

If you have seen it in person and like what you see, make an offer.

Mw870

I thought it looked good but also don't have a ton of experience with 350z's which is why I came here looking for opinions and I hadn't heard much bad about ARK more so just mixed thoughts as they are not some huge name brand company (yes I know from past forums anything not top dollar gets hated on, which I for one think is stupid but won't get into that)

I think for that price you can do better for sure.

Mw870

alright, well I took everyones advice and passed up on the offer, so back to searching i go

If you want a sure buy the owner of this car just messaged me two minutes ago asking if I still wanted the car. The car is clean and has three previous owners.

I personally saw this car as well and saw how clean it was, we just couldn't meet at comfortable price for either of us.

Mw870

thanks for the info, but just personal preference that I'm not interested in American cars/bringing one across the border

franknstn

Totally understand, Good luck!
