Default Base model for $23,000????

I found an 03 Z base with 3371 miles for $23,000. How much would the HID conversion cost. This is my only reason not to buy the base model.

Aluminum kickplates are an option for all trim levels.

Yes, the extra features more than make up for the $2K. You couldn't add everything on the Enthusiast to the Base for $2K, it would be much more and you wouldn't have a Nissan warranty on some parts you would have to add from the aftermarket.

Hey !

I graduated from Auburn about a year ago! I just bought an Enthusiast last week and it is unbelievable. I drove a stock model on the lot and couldn't tell any difference in the drive, but I autocross so the extra's on the enthusiast were important to me. Instead of going with the Track model, I got the Nismo wheels and exhaust from the dealership installed for around the same price.

If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't do it any other way.

Good luck!

if you can find an enthusiast for 25k with 3000 miles, then i would say you should take that instead.

You can pick up an Enthusiast for $28k or less.

You paid $35k for an enthuiast with $3k wheels, and a $1k exhaust?

Dude, I have some swampland I can make a SWELL deal on... INTERESTED?

Try not to be such a dumbass.

I bought an 04 Enthusiast with every factory option from Nissan (MSRP: $30,450) Plus Nismo wheels with S03's at dealer cost $3260, Nismo exhaust at cost $1000 and the clear front mask ~$400. I paid $32,200. The track model was $34,300 sitting beside mine. I would say that two thousand dollars is relatively close and mine looks MUCH better and is faster.

You can keep SWELL swampland.
