How doin guys i recently sold my car. and just got promoted i dont quite want a new car but 2003 is new for me. anyways I took a look at a 2003 blue enthusiast 17,186 miles, clean, carfax was clean. the car looked immaculate what should i offer the dealer also, does the 03 come with H.I.D'S, what else does it come with. i already searched thanx.

 

Yes it does come with HIDs, all models and years do except the base. Enthusiast is a nice model, take it for a test drive and see how it feels. I'd go for it.

 

oh and the msrp is 23,800

 

I think thats a bit expensive for a 3 yr old Z

 

true but i live in socal evrything is expensive i think its a good deal. any ideas what i should offer. if i do decide to make an offer. it also has pretty low miles

 

I don't know how different TX is from Cali, but I offered 20k otd and they came back like 10 min later and I had my Z. btw, the msrp was 23,XXX also. Granted, these guys wanted it gone, but I say start pretty low and see what happens. despite the mileage, drive home the fact that it's almost a 3 yr old car! good luck!

 

I payed 24k for my 03 track with navigation and 26k miles...

And that as from a dealer...

 

since the Z came out in 03 u gotta watch out for problems.... usually when car companies redesign/launch a car, the first year is usually the guinea pig, meaning whatever problems they have in the starting year they fix in the later years. so if u have an 03 and u have the typical problems like tire feathering, window motor, tranny, etc the 04-06 will most likely not have those problems as well. but its your choice, 23k seems like a lot to me though but 17k miles isnt bad either. but check out the forum for more problems with the 03 and THEN go and check out the car. but if you can find a 04-06 in the same price range id rather go for that instead. my .02

 

I really appreciate the advice, damn tranny problems is that only on the autos. the one i looked at was a 6spd if that makes a diffrence. i used to have an 97 acura 2.2cl 5spd and loved that car did me well. . the fact its a 3 yr old car dosent bother me it's new to me, but i see where yor coming from stepuckey, its 23,800 for a three year old car. any more advice/input would greatly be appreciated rhank you.

 

Yeah I say offer low and bargain well and take her home. Use the problems with the '03 and sound like you know what you are talking about and they will let it go cheap. It's all a game.

 

im sorry i fcuked up its an 04. also whats the performance trim

 

If the dealers says that it is an Enthusiast, verify: many dealers don’t have the faintest idea what they are selling.

 

i purchased my mine 04 db performance with 26k miles for 23.500

 

If it has VDC and 18" wheels then its a Performance!

 

Your money would be better spent on an '05/'06, much less problems.

My .02

 

I agree thats a little pricey for an 03. I live in Socal too(San Diego) and you can get a better deal than that.

 

i have had an 03 for almost 3 years with no real porblems at all. I would check the classifed on here, im not very partial to dealers.
