It's interesting that the way we use the car has changed over 20 years. Sounds like you have really enjoyed your car too. I'll likely never sell mine either. My kids consider it a family heirloom. My Z was my first non daily driver sports car.

Thanks! All in all my Z has lead a pampered life, but it does get driven when it gets out of the garage. I hear you about the oldies. It's hard to believe I've been on here that long too. Wow! How twenty years flies by.

Very nice! Love the LMGT4 wheels. I have a set of 18" myself. Wish I had purchased a set of 19" as well.

Havent had my Z for 20 years but I always wanted one since they came out back in the days... just couldnt afford it. Finally got one now 04 Performance. Previous owner took care of this car pretty good. Got it with 80K a year ago. Running strong

The only thing I've ever owned for 20 years is my underwear.

The great thing is right now the 350z is starting to really get the spotlight and we will probably see a full Twinz Design bodykit coming out in the next 2 years. This will really make the car timeless for years to come.

14K I over paid but im ok with that. Here in California cars are ridiculously expensive compare to other states. There were plenty of Zs around my area but abused with a lot of miles. I found this one with a long maintenance history since the car was purchased in 04 and under 100K. The exact color and year i wanted so I pulled the trigger and Im very happy with it. I actually got this for my son as a high graduation present. But i'll enjoy it for 2 years before he gets it

What kind of mods did it come with at that price? I got my Z last year in the summer after looking for months and it was definitely hard to find a clean Z that wasn't trashed.

not much. Just a Greddy Evo II catback, JWT pop charger, some Greddy accessories, brand new tires. The car was just in very good condition and that sold me. I had seen some other ones including HRs for about the same price but they were lowered and had body kits and other mods that for me was a red flag buying a car like this.

Wow I thought I’ve had mine for awhile but guess not 😅. Bought my 2007 HR in 2011 as a second owner. Will be 13 years in February.

It's a toy car which doesn't get driven a lot, but it does have approximately 32,000 miles on it. I'm wondering how many of those who purchased the first year (2003) 350Z's still have their cars.

I took the car out for a drive this morning and then gave it a good wash. Still a beautiful car.


2003 350Z



that is one beautiful machine.....

Happy Anniversary to me and my Z. Picked the car up from the dealership 20 years ago today. Did my annual oil change yesterday with Redline 5w30.

So what did you get it made out of fine china or porcelain to commemorate 20 years of marriage?

LOL! Nothing made out of either. As much as Redline oil costs now that was enough. Six quarts (I have a Stillen aluminum oil pan) of Redline 5w30 and a K&N oil filter (which looks sort of like porcelain). That was it.
