Default Selling my Celica and getting a 350Z

My aunt wants to buy my 2004 Celica GT for $18,000. Therefore, I'm looking into getting a used 350Z. Should I get a 2003 or 2004 model (any difference between the two)? I'm trying to find one for about $25,000.

for 25 you might be able to get an 05. if not, you can basically have your pick of any 04 you want =P

25k you should be able to pick up a 05 base, or you can probably get a 04 touring.

^^ I can't get a base model (I can't drive a stick!). hahaha I'm looking for a Performance or Touring model (white exterior) and maybe throw on a Nismo kit if I have some $$$ left. But, what are the differences between 2003 and 2004?

Performance comes only as manual. But you can learn to drive stick; not that tough & more fun.

Get an 04; less chance of first year (03) problems. And, yes, you can buy an 04 for %25 K. Also look at Enthusiast.

I sold my celica and bought a 350z, night and day difference. There's no rattles in the Z, plus power is a night and day difference.

I'd personally try to get the best deal with the newest model first. Then work my way down each year until I find one that satisfies what I'm looking for.

Do NOT buy an AT--- PLEASE.

I implore you to learn how to operate an MT... because people WILL make fun of you if they found out you're driving around a sports car like this w/o a stick.

Honestly...a Z is a Z regardless if it's a manual or auto. So get what YOU like & enjoy it. Who cares what people say...

I learned to drive stick on the Z after two weeks of owning it. All my shifts now are smooth as butter. There was no way I was getting a Z without a stick. Go for the the M/T.

$18G? Your aunt is a generous woman!
Seriously, I traded my 2000 Celica GT-S for a 2003 Z and praise Jesus every day for it.

The new 2006 model looks really nice. I like the minor improvements. It seems like I'll be looking for an Enthusiast or Touring model. My dad was suppose to teach me how to drive a stick years ago...he sold that car and got a CLK.

She said that she didn't want to "rip" me off. hahaha The only mod I have on my car is the TRD kit (and that's not really a mod anyway).
