Default Where is She?

Am I ever going to find the right 350Z? I have been looking like a crazy man since January! Everyday on Carmax, Cars.com, Autotrader, etc...I get close, only to do a carfax and find out she was in an accident, or the warranty is expired or something else.

Frustrating but I know it will be worth it in the end!

By the way, if anyone knows of one avail in the LV area, I am looking for a late 03 Enth 6SPD (>100067 VIN) with average miles. Pref Silver or SilverStone. I got the CA$H Readdy! 20-21K Range. I know there is one out there!

Also, I need some advice on this: I found an 03 but it is below the VIN I was looking for which means that it falls into the SENSOR RECALL case. How serious is this and does it HAVE to be done?

Another bad thing is the warranty is expired but that would be the case on MOST 03's. Other than that it looks clean.

Should I go for it?? 03 Z 6SPD 31K Miles, No sensor recall done, warranty expired.

I will tell you what I did. I got a list of all the Nissan dealerships that were in the bay area. I drove while calling and going to dealership to dealership. After about call 9 stop number 4 or 5 I got a hold of a 03 touring in mint condition 19k miles for $21k. Been in love ever sense, you can find one just make the calls.

Man, Jimster716, I was SOOO set on getting that one.......

until...I did a carFax! It was involved in an accident in utah! Check it out. Definite deal breaker although I don't know how bad it was. This is what I'm talking about.

NissanFan we have about 4 dealerships out here and I have been to 2 of them already. I will try to do what you said and see what happens.

geomark, I stumbled on to mine at Findlay Toyota, I was buying a Scion CT for my daughter. I did buy an extended warranty that can be cashed out at any time. Something you might want to think about? since not much left on the 03 factory one.

Be patient, if you're as particular as me it could take a year to find the right one unless you special order brand new.
