Wondering about getting a 350z new to Nissans Help!!
I currently have a BMW it is getting old and high mileage,I just got aproved for a 17k Capital One Blank Check.I saw a 2003 350z touring in le mans orange with modena interior and navigation 6MT and 68k miles on it there asking $16,995 is tis fair?Also being 350z owners is this considered high mileage and what are some common issues at this mileage?My BMW has 200184 miles on the the odometer with no major issues.Well thanks for any input guys I may be a fellow Z owner soon I sure like the color combo and all!!!

68k on an 03 isn't too bad imo. I'm not sure about the price (someone else has to chime in for price), but i was wondering wat model bmw you have and year. Sounds like your down grading and you should always upgrade imo.

My car is a 1994 325i its lowered on bilstein &Eibachs has custom wheels a Dinan tune and a couple other minor mods but it also has 200K miles so anything is an improvement lol.I really have my eye on this 350z as my brothers girlfriends brother just bought a touring Z and I fell in love witrh the looks and performance.This car I have my eye on is one of the most eye catching colors Ive ever seen before and the interior and navi only add to its appeal.

Yeah that is a nice color scheme. That's a pretty average price in my area... Maybe talk them down a bit. Look around the forum you'll find pleanty on mech. issues (tire feathering, bad trans.)

Have most of you had these wierd tranny issues I have read about gring in
5th gear and tranny only lasting like 16k miles wow this scares me not to mention the window motor issues and blown coil packs.Share some of the problems if any you have had with these cars I also here Nissan customer servive is pretty unhelpful.

Go private party route. Look for a one owner car, with a clean interior and exterior. Also run a carfax report. Ask the owner if he or she has all of the service paperwork. 68,000 miles seems high to me.

Forget your CapitalOne preapproval. Start putting away $500 a month in an interest-bearing account; in three years, you will have more than $18,000. Then buy a 2006 or 2007 Z with cash and have no car payment.
