I've found 2 Z's that really interest me...Price wise, whats the safer bet?

Here are the 2 cars specs....Let me know what you think!


2004 Performance Model
PPW Ext
Black Cloth Int
6 spd manual
26,700 miles

price - $19,700


2003 Touring Model
PPW Ext
Tan Leather Interior
6 spd manual
Fully Loaded W/ Navigation
51,000 miles

price - $18,900

 

less miles = more value

base you decision on your personal prefrence. Because I have my own opinion I would say ditch the PPW for Black like mine

 

This is easy, imo. The 04 is a year newer & has 25,000 less miles.

Run a Carfax & have a mechanic check it out. if both are good, write the check.

 

Thanks guys...All opinions are still welcome...I didn't know if the one that has Leather and Navigation should compensate for the extra mileage. I really like leather seats. Whats the round about cost to have aftermarket seats done? And do they look similar to stock? Thanks again.

 

Im cool with that too! Those are the 2 colors Id be interested in...Now finding a black one that has been taken care of is a WHOLE other story...One bad wash day from that owner and I could be staring at swirl marks galore...

 

'04 FTW. The Bose sucks and you can do aftermarket nav and leather if you want. It might have a little warranty left on it, too.

 

04

 

Does the '03 still have any warranty left? Also how's the body look on both? Scratches, skuffs? The leather and nav u can add aftermarket anyways, and especially the nav/stereo you'd get better results aftermarket but some don't like the hassle. I'd try talking that '04 down a bit more myself, with '07s out even almost new '06s are getting sold at pretty damn cheap prices, pushing the value on the olders ones even further.

 

I personally would lean toward the car with less milage. There isn't a huge difference in price and the black interior will show less dirt in the long run. Also...there are tons of aftermarket NAV options if that is something you need.

STEAL IT!

 

04 and add leather yourself!

 

There are plenty of places along the East Coast that will change up your interior and can even add heat to the seats

 

The 04, less miles, Altough the 03 has alot of nice options

 

i'd pick the '04 model. You can always modify/add options like leather or navigation. But you can't remove mileage from a car.

 

I've heard good things about this site for the leather:

http://www.leatherseats.com/

and probably can get a lot of options/info from the audio/electronics forum for an aftermarket nav.

 

Find a track model {brembo equipped}.

 

www.autotrader.com stitchcraft also makes seat covers in any configuration, leather, suede, cloth. A nice set of carbon or kevlar backed seats wouldn't be too bad looking either.

 

Agree. I recommend that you buy by mileage not model year.

 

i had an 04.5 performance with zero issues... loved it.. mine was CS, but PPW is a great color..thats the one i would go with..

 

'05, '06, '07 Ftw!
