Default Picking up a z... i think

whats up everyone, about a week ago i posted a thread about what to look for in a z. well today i did a lot and went to a few dealers and called about 10 other 1's. only 1 dealer had what i wanted so far. its a 03 touring with 55,000 miles and the price is asking for 16.5 k, and he said well talk about a price and im thinking i can get something around 14k unless i find 1 elsewhere. i checked it out today and there was a tiny bit of wear in the trunk area on the mat in the bank but everything else looked good. so i just wanted some opinions on it and if theres anything else i should look for and before i buy im gonna have my mech. check it out. thanks in advance

14k for an '03? Hell no. I wouldn't consider any '03s where they are asking over 13 unless it's pristine and has very low mileage.

I just did a quick search on autotrader and found 101 listings for an '03 under 13k. Your car is out there. Search.
