thanks guys...im hopin to be in a Z
$23,000 for a Z with 39K is not a good deal. if you really like the Z why not trade the Z06 in for an 06 Z (with low miles) and use your RSX as your daily driver? both the RSX-S and Z06 are great cars. you make me sick.

im sorrrrry... i dont want to get rid of the Z06... i love that car but the rsx i can give up... the 350z is just one hell of a beauty...


thanks to everyone for their input... i will talk to the dealership to talk them down and see what happens...

That's why I got the Z . . . my insurance is $35/month, full coverage for an '06. Move to Texas . . . you can auto-x year-round. You don't have to worry about storing your toys for the winter. Heck, I've even taken my jet skis to the lake during the winter (wearing a wet suit, of course).

I bought my '03 Touring 6MT (pristine all around) for $16,800...

You can definitely do better than 23k.

I bought my Z a couple weeks ago - 2004 Touring, 32k miles and all the extras, except nav. I paid just under $22k. The one you're looking at is a year older and some more miles...so yeah, the price could be lower. Granted I did get a really good deal...but you should too!

edit - also, I bought it at a dealer, so your price should be a couple thousand lower if you're buying it private party.

You can see it listed on autotrader in zip code 64068/Liberty, MO. $22,750.00 obo.
Clean title/no wrecks or claims.




I did the 30K maintenance on time and replaced the front brake pads at 25K. It has had the oil changed every 3K at the local Nissan dealership. Works and looks mint condition. Never driven in adverse weather conditions. Recalls complied with. Receipts for everything. Car is completely stock. Not one problem. Always garaged and babied. Only reason I am selling is I need a car with backseat for the family.

It has leather/heated seats. Homelink. 6 CD in dash, heated mirrors, electric seats, power everything. Windows auto up and down. New floor and truck matts from Nissan. Cargo net. Automatic with manual mode. Xenon Headlights. Auto dimming mirror.

please email or call me any questions. Thanks for looking--Jim

I almost got a z06...insurance on the 350z is actually higher. I'm 25.

Only reason i didn't get the z06 was b/c i thought i would be less likely to mod the 350...boy was i wrong.

You pay 700 a month or every 6 months?!?!?

Because if thats every 6 months that aint schit!! My driving record isn't bad at all, just one speeding ticket but damn.. I almost decided against the car when I found out how much the insurance would be.. but then again, its not because it's a sports car.. its because Louisiana rapes you for insurance!

Thanks for looking and good luck in your search. The Z is a great car. I cannot wipe the smile off my face when I drive it.

Wow, i pay about 175 i think...it comes out of my account automatically. That is for renters insurance, an 87 buick turbo regal that has stated value(12,500-freakin no nothing appraiser) and drives less than 3k a year and my Z...all cars have every single coverage possible and most of them are upgraded, like pip is 5k i think. 500 deductible.
