Check the condition and etc. before purchasing since a 16K Z that runs great is a better buy then a 13K Z that needs a new engine or frame.

I'm not a rich. Just lucky to have what I've got. I have absolutely no reason to brag.....Price really isnt the issue with the purchase of a Z. I just want to feel like I'm getting my money's worth... If 15k gets me what I want then I'll spend 15k. If I need to spend 25k then I'll spend 25k. My major isssue is that I really don't want to go to far to find one so I am kind of limited to what comes up.......Wish I was in a bigger city where more than 1 was available to purchase. Anyways I'm sure I'll find one eventually. If you're in upstate NY and you want to sell your Z don't hesitate to drop me a PM!

And for the guys who called me out, here are/were my babies.....

You should at least find an upper model, traction control and limited slip diff would be well worth finding. Our good friend calling out your driving ability? I've been in New York when a foot of snow shows up overnight. A little help from modern technoligy is'nt a sin.

I still don't understand. You want to buy an old Z with tons of miles... but you're considering ZR1's, Z06's, etc?

Something doesn't add up. Maybe your dreams are TOO high. That, or those cars really aren't yours.

Reading comprehension FTL

Have you read anything I actually wrote? When did I say I need to buy and old Z with tons of miles? why dont you try reading the thread again and then you would realize that I'm willing to buy an 03 or an 08 or anything in between as long as it is a good price. My limiting factor is I dont feel like traveling 20 hours to pick one up. Right know the only one within 100 miles of me is the one I first wrote about. I just want to pick up a 350z that I cant beat the **** out of since my school is widely known for having one of the worst accident rates on campus. Its why I sold the S and the M and why I am waiting to get a Z06. There is no why in hell I would have driven any of those cars on campus. If the 350 gets backed into so what, it cost me less than 30k and I dont plan on keeping it.


To answer the other question that was asked my M was a 95 hellrot on Black vaders. It had 40k on the clock when I first purchased it and before I returned it to stock to selll, it had; clears, GC coilovers, custom BBS rims, shrick cams, CAI, MV lip and ton more other things I don't feel like listing. It was an awesome car but it didnt make since to sit in the garage for 4 years while I went to school so I sold it along with the B6 which wasn't to bad of DD/snowmobile

I can read. You want to buy a Z that you can beat on. Why not go get another M3? Don't beat on our poor Z's.
