True, but the leaf rustling noise can be made to sound like a BOV. People won’t race me because of it. Oh, and of course, when they recognize me, they slowly back down or make a quick turn.

Ahem. 😎

 

I'm not sure what seller means with his description and meant to say "has nice rims" or "a$$ nice rims." Either way, just going to leave this here because there is a lot to digest...






But, to be honest, for as much going on with the exterior, that is a really clean frost leather interior! Huge fan of the aftermarket shift **** on the auto. I bet he improves the 0-60 time by at least two seconds.

 

This one caught my eye because of the smoke in the main picture. Completely thought someone was posting an ad with a Z on fire...



But upon closer inspection - yes! It shoots flames! Sweet!



And the front bumper damage was due to hitting a bunny? How big was this thing?




New breaks. lol.

 

Also no antenna and looks like some major dents in the driver's side door. Must have taken out Bugs Bunny or he was doing 70+ mph upon impact. The bumper appears to be setup for drifting, I don't see the undertray/cover installed for proper reinforcement. This thing looks really slapped together. Looks ok from 15ft away, but I bet gobs of things are missing or broken when you start peeling back the layers. The new norm for used 350Zs.....and Mustang Cobra wheels on an Import.

I would like to know where the "tons of money in aftermarket parts" went...



Other than the comically small wing...



Two bottles of white-out used to paint Yokohama Advan on some cheapo tires and wheels...



And fleabay parts galore.



I'll briefly address the fact that the bumper vent is clearly in the wrong place. I wish that was the only thing wrong with this,

 

Obvious. Have you priced out "boss parts" stickers lately? Oh, and those ever trendy "Nismo" stickers?

And whatever all that crap on the front end is MUST have cost an entire Fleabay gift card! Should have used it for spacers to bring those +50 rears in line.

 

For the 1st time in forever, I did a CL search in the SF bay area for 350Zs (For sale by owner, with pics). Amazingly, not a single shady or outrageous listing. Higher prices of course, but all the cars listed are surprisingly decent looking. A few are...dare I say...excellent. Take this low mileage roadster for example.




What does this mean? Are we at a turning point for 350Zs? Are they so high priced or are so few left that only responsibly owned/operated examples exist? Or is this all a coincidence?

Seller's Description

Automatic 2003 350Z car runs great after market exhaust,rims,suspension,radio,full bolt on no A/C interior is in good condition leather heated seats works perfect does need new breaks and front bumper does need some work Blown head gaskets might need tow truck




If only it didn't need "new breaks" I'd be all over this steal. I mean... it works perfect!

 

Jeebus!? An 03 AT with Blown head gaskets, no A/C, needs brakes, and cracked/busted/cheap/aftermarket front bumper. The exhaust also looks like a homemade single exit. It pains my soul to see Nismo V3 wheels on this thing.

So, I get it. Selling prices on BaT have been pretty crazy lately, and this is definitely a very low mileage clean example of a Z33, but $35K+? I think this one is going to be listed for a while. I'm not so sure you're going to find the right buyer on FB marketplace...




Bonus points for the diesel 3-pedal automatic transmission.

 

That diesel must get phenomenal mpg, too!

 

Got stickers?




The "one hand" comment is a head scratcher...

 

Yes... more decal graphics. But for me, the "spoiler" completes the look on this Z350.



So much downforce.

 

Such a cute little spoiler.

 

Sure, let me go ahead and break out my checkbook...

 

Gimme a break.

Sorry, Z zealot for 50+ years but there is no way in Hades I'd pay that much OVER MSRP for this car. Not a chance.

But it furthers my theory that this re-do/retro/not-new-enough car is targeted at a new market. Pretty much the same demographic as previous Zs. Youngish, good jobs, predominantly male, with a tad bit overage of testosterone. Hahahahahahaaaaaaaaa..... Not a diss. I was there once. Then I got old.

 

I wonder if the surfboard and tie-down strap is included. That's got to add like at least 10N of downforce.

 

Spyder headlights and Boobie Tail-lights with unknown brand front bumper and massive spoiler. What's not to like!?

"well over 20kincested in this car until the motor was stolen from it,"

 

Maybe one of his siblings stole the engine.
