7/02 build date, purchased in 9/02, 125K+ miles...original battery. Needs to be replaced soon though. It's on it's last legs.

 

Build date, 08/02. Still strong.

 

03 w/~64k miles, battery dated 11/5/02 just died yesterday. Beat that.

 

I have my original battery from 3/03,still going strong!

 

^^^ but you never drive your Z

 

Gulity as charged Dave , just trying to contribute something , Dave do you know what this car is worth?,thinking about selling , would like to get around$17,000,less than half what it cost new ,still smells new inside, never driven in rain,I hate to see it sit all the time, however I did put 400+ miles on it last year! , Craig.

 

I've followed your story in the "how many miles on a 2003" thread - I'm just jerking your chain a little.

I don't know how hard it would be to find somebody to pay a big premium because of the low mileage. Don't you have less than 6K or so on it? What model is it? Base, Track, etc. That plus some unknown premium for the low mileage will tell what it's worth. Any mods or is it totally stock?

 

Dave its a 2003 track model,I had the Brake Warehouse cross drill /slot/nickel plate/and triple temper the stock rotors when the car was brand new, and I also put on a Borla true dual exhaust,the rest is 100% stock, it has the factory cover and most all the available options from the dealer ,including the six air bags ,its got almost 6k miles.

 

KBB lists a "Private Party" value of $17,700 for a 2003 track, execellent condition with 6K miles. You could probably use 18K as a starting point and figure people are going to offer less anyway. The big question is always "how long can you wait". I know you can wait a long time to find the right buyer since it's obviously not your sole source of transportation. If you advertise widely and wait for the economic conditions to improve you should have good luck in finding a discriminating buyer who is willing to pay the premium for a car like that.

 

my battery went out after 4 years... now I have an Optima Yellowtop

 

Thanks Dave , I would be happy around $17,000 , Craig.

 

My 2003 350Z Track with less than 4900 miles still has the original battery, but I keep it on a Deltran Battery Tender in a climate controlled garage.

Yes, the Z is just above my NX2000

 

My '04 battery died a month ago, but it was a brutal winter here. Killed my wife's battery as well.

 

i am using a stinger battery in my 2006 z
the stinger came out of my 1996 impala
was bought new in 2001 and has been in the impala 2001 - 2005 & now it is in my z from 2006 until now and still going strong as new ( so 10 years and still going )

 

Yep, mine is older than yours was and still running.

 

4/23/2003 Track with original battery. Has anyone who replaced their battery, done so with another Nissan battery? If so, what did it cost?

 

Batteries don't last long in Fl.. I just piced up an 04 and it's been changed already. Longest one has ever lastest me here is 4 years.

 

04.5 Track with 32K on it. Replaced the original Nissan battery about a year ago just because. I bought a Costco battery (cheap) because it has a 36 month free exchange, no questions asked. I have been getting free batteries for my other vehicles by exchanging them at 35 months.
