Finally found a Z to buy...Is it a Good Deal?
I have been searching for a while waiting for my car to sell, and it finally did...So I am now in the serious mode of buying a used 350z. I came across one at a reputable dealership, it is a 2003 Super Black Track Model with 16,xxx miles, curtain airbags, door sills, mint condition other than one door ding (which is going to be fixed before purchase). The dealership is asking $25k, which seems reasonable from what I have seen for a Track model. I am just curious to know if this is a good deal, which based on blue book values, it is. Thanks in advance.

Do your homework, lots of 03's were prone to tire feathering, tranny issues, ect.
For that price you can just about get a brand new 05 Enthusiast!
BTW it probably costs the dealer less than $25 to get the ding out.

That sounds like a great deal! I bought my 03 performance about a year ago w/ 16K miles on it and when I bought mine it was about $26K OTD. (Plus 2250 negative from my Spec V I was leasing, damn impatience!) Enjoy the car!

haha... no, really, it was $25K BEFORE taxes, etc. So he got it for quite a bit less (oh... like ... i dunno ... $23K?
). One other poster said $25K OTD. So that was pretty close, too.

He's right my 05 enthusiast was 27,400 out the door brand new...if you can scrape together another couple thousand i would go brand new...I was in your same situation whether i wanted an 03 for like 23000 or a new enthusiast..i went with the new enthusiast, i now know everythnig thats been done to the car...just one guys opinion.
