You can get a brand spankin new one for that price. Look in the LA Times ad section, you'll see 2005 Base models go for 24500 before taxes and license at a few dealerships....After taxes and license, you'll be around 27000. Why not go for a new one for 1k more? It has better resell value AND no tire feathering...AND has 0 miles...you get the point. Thats my 2pennies.

Are you kidding me? $26000????? That's insane. Brand new 2005 350Zs retail at $26,900. I just looked up a base '03 350Z in EXCELLENT condition on KBB with 6000 miles on it and it was priced at $21,615. You can do better than that man. If you want the 03, you can probably talk him down to $20K. Otherwise, get a brand new one for that price.

I agreee with all others. A local dealer tried to sell me a 2005 Enthusiast for 28,500, only 50 miles on it. In So. Cali, I say wait for a better deal; in fact, the price you quoted is a horrible deal!!!

Yes, you can do better. I have seen several guys here buy a Base for close to invoice which is around $26,000. Add tax & license & your at $28,000 all in for an 05 Base.

fees? what fees? the taxes and license? the destination fee? destination is INCLUDED in the sticker price. If you're in LA County, tax is about 11% of your vehicle price, if you're in Orange County/Santa Barbara County you'll be looking at 10% of the price. Say you go to a Powers Nissan and get the car for 25k (they ALWAYS advertise base model for 25k or sometimes lower). So heres the math:

Car + destination (560): 25,000
Taxes, License, b*llshit fees: 2,500 (10%)
Total: 27,500
