Even with all the goodies, 23K is a little steep for 39K miles... Maybe 20K sounds a good.. Bought my 06 Last week for 27.5K out the door.... Good luck

23K for a 03'Z with 40K miles is kinda pricey.. you can def do better...

if you look around you "should" be able to get into something like that for about 19K-20K... I just bought a 03 here a month ago and paid 21K for mine (38K miles)..

after looking around, I feel like I could have saved a few thousand if I would have been a bit more patient..

but yeah... look around some more. Good luck as I am sure you will love the car!

yeah thats why i asked.. don't buy any '03 for over 20k man. for 23k with 39k miles you could get an '04 AT LEAST even with the nav and all that.
i got my '03 touring with 40+k miles for 19K even.

The 350Z will be lots of fun in the snow. Very exciting.

Yeah, I bought my 03 Touring two years ago for 19K. It had 28K miles on it when I got it.

You should be able to get one cheaper than that.

Rear wheel drive, 287/300 HP a 350Z and snow = Not a pretty picture blend with a guard rail......I would rest it for the winter, or at least the snow days.

man... I can't imagine having to put my car up for the winter.. that would drive me crazy!

When I had my R6 I would drive during the winter until I couldn't feel my hands anymore.. which would be about 10 minutes into it.. lol

Here in New Orleans winter is a joke.. if it drops below 40 (which isn't too often) people start wrecking cars, wearing 15+ layers of clothing, schools won't open, and people stay inside.. but never do they park their cars..

I say screw it.. fab some rails around your car like they do to kiddie go-karts and roll out..
