Will be getting a 350z, have a question
Is 03 a bad year? Should I go for an 04 instead? Reason being: Price.

No major diff. If you can afford an 04, go for it, if not, its the same

You DO realize that every year, the new cars come out and are welcomed by red dots. Over the next couple of years, as the trouble reports start to build up, the dots turn from red to white to black. Very few current year cars start off with black marks against them.

I have had some issues with my '03 but if I had known about them in advance I still would have bought the car. All problems were taken care of under warranty and the car still drives great with 65K miles.

I have an 03...
I have an 03 and I love it. I have one minor electrical problem with it. The interior room light and vanity lights are not getting power. It happened about 2 months ago. I am not sure if that is a problem with this type of car. The car is so much fun to drive and if you ask me the 03 still looks trendy and new
Good luck with your search!

'03 models usually have the majority of the problems b/c thats when they first came out, you should opt for an '04 track model or touring
