Default I want a Z again.

Hi everyone,Im pretty new to the forum,I bought the Z back in late 2002 it was a new 2003 Z silver and a automatic,I was actually one of the first people to get one in Canada...well at least in BC.

Anyways after selling it back in 2007 for 22K CAD,it had 20's staggered rims rest was stock.Going through many cars including a C6 corvette,07 3 series and now my present car a 300 SRT8 I can clearly say that out of all these cars my favorite one was the Z.

I am replacing the SRT8 with a more of a family car but I still want a toy for myself so heres my question.

With a budget of 12-15K USD can I get a nice,low miles,auto Z?
Coupe or Roadster I plan to keep this car for many many years.

When I bought my Z in 02 I bought it for $43500 plus tax so close to 50K CAD.

Anyways the moral of my post is I want a Z but dont want to break the bank or have to get a very high mileage one.

The reason I have come to this forum is to eventually buy one from a forum member who is a enthusiast and has take care of their car.

Thanks in advance.

You can get a one for less than 10k w/ low miles. Look on autotrader.com and see what there is in your area

Hey buddy, i'm from Canada as well.

You'll be hard up to find one here with low km(miles) for ~$10k. I have seen next to none.

IMO, the only option is buying from the states, and bringing it back up here.

Yes. You should definatly get a cheap 350Z since you have all those other cool cars.

With the dollar almost at par the US is my best bet.

I miss my Z.




If I was stationed in the states, it would be boosted by now with a complete new facelift. Now I just need to see if I can bring my current car back as a track-only vehicle.

Hey manny....I know how you feel. I bought an 03 back in the day and got rid of it after a few years because of baby comming but we already had an suv so there really was no point in having 2 4-door vehicles.
Anyways I've tried all the cars you've had and I feel the same way,
they just dont feel like a 350Z so I had to get another one.
I made sure this time she was fully equipped.

Where abouts are you in Vancouver? I'm just up in whiterock and
work in Delta.

Peace

you can go to Europe and bring your Z there. Thats what I will do after my 1 year tour in Korea. My Z will sleep in the state for 1 year

Feel the same man....The C6 was pure raw power no finesse,Beemer was nice but not enought power and handling was whatever,the SRT8 is just a boat.The Z had enough power and the handling rocked.

Im gonna get one soon...

Im in Surrey,work in Delta.


Quick Reply: I want a Z again.
