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.

 

Hell yeah celicas suck sell it for 8,000 lol! 2003 will be cheaper and has the same horse power!

 

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?

 

learn stick =]

 

buy manual 6 speed. learn on some civic or integra its worth it.

 

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.

 

and the looks!! lol

 

If I were you I'd go with 04 Touring

 

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).

 

Yeah your Aunt is a saint.
