The 2003 only has 16k miles on it, runs and looks brand new (mint condition). The 2007 has 56k miles on it and has a minor dint on the passengers side door. The 2003 cost $15,500 and the 2007 cost about $17,500. Is it really worth the extra 20HP.

in my opinion 17k for a 2002 is alot id go with the 2007 its newer and the dint if it isnt to large can easily be pulled out or u can sand it prime and paint your self for cheap just my opinion tho.

07 all day that 03 was made in 02 and barley driven thats not as good as you think. its more then 20hp the 07 is better all around has better headlights tail lights a sexy hood buldge more standard features and nicer wheels if there both stock and better brakes and a revised front bumper its the last revision of the 350z so its the best 350z made if you think about it. i am also biased cause i have a 08 and when i was stock i would rip on 03-06's with intakes and full exhaust by a car or so its worth the money

Get the 07,
latest transmission cd009 - all the problems from previous year essentialy eliminTed
revised engine - vq35hr - really noticeable performance difference when compared to 2003-2006
basically all the improvements are worth it. its 370z performance in a z33 body

mint car with low miles for less money>newer car with 4 times the miles and some body damage. Granted its the HR. Unless you are dead set on an extra 20hp and a few less lbs of tq from the 07, I would go with the 03 IMO

I would get the price down a little on the 07 and grab that. Only prob with the 03 is trans, probably not enough miles on it to have a failure and replacement to the newest trans.

Hr's also respond way better to bolt ons. With test pipes exhaust, intakes and a tune you could get pretty close to 300whp. De's can only dream to make that with bolt ons. Hr engines are also going to last longer. Talk the price down though. I got my 08 with 18k miles for 17.2k
