Hey guys im new to the forum i was looking to purchase a g35 but due to payments and lack of lowering the price i cant get one. Ive been looking for the z. I found one on ebay that is in my state of florida so i can see it in person. Its an enth. model and its for 21600... it has an cold air intake and some black rims installed.. am i getting into a good deal??? should i do it... by the way its a 2003.

 

29K miles

 

What's the hurry? I would'nt rush into it.....There's always something else right around the corner......Do your research....

p.s., I kinda take offense to the idea that you "have" to settle for a Z instead of a G35........The Z is a totally different kind of animal.....A Very Aggressive Animal....Good Luck to ya'...Dave

 

Yeah I dont get the "settle" comment either. I could have had either and simply felt the Z was a superior choice for performance.

Also You can get new Zs at 2% where as used ones will run you 6% plus. Do you realize that means a $27,000 Z new over 5 years will cost you about the same as that used one will!
NOT TO MENTION 0 Miles! If you have good credit new all day long...NO BRAINER!!

Good luck but from teh sound of things it sounds liek you should wait until you are in a better positions $wise. Did you consider insurance cost?

 

Yeah the settle thing!!! I am looking into getting a Z after driving both the G35 and the Z back to back the Z is what I want. Besides as EnthuZiat stated you will would be better to find one new that is in your price range than getting a used one and paying more because of the interest rate.....Besides the Z is more aggressive in all categories(sp), looks,sound, and most importantly driving!!!!

 

dont know about the 2003...a used 2003 at that. i think a lot of people has had some issues with the first year model. these problems are all fixable but neverthless you should be careful when buying

 

What he said....you're a million times better off waiting for the one you really want. Not to mention that being "car-poor" is a miserable way to live.

 

ALso you may want to look into an IRA

If not take that money and go new...I have an 03 and have gone through 2 trannys I have just over 30K miles and I dive the **** out of the car....you could be buying one just like mine...or worse!

 

Are you kidding? I drive the **** out of mine also, and that's what I have to look forward to? Hey lnoonl, definitely go new, and buy an The extended Warranty! .... Just playin' with ya'. Think about it, and you'll do the right thing.......Again, GL2U....

 

29,000 miles is to many IMO.

 

Yea im going to wait.. After driving the Z though im so undecisive because i like how the Z drives and feels now. I never drove one until this weekend.. and im not settling... im looking at my options.. lol.. yea i guess i was blinded by wanting to buy another car so bad. But with time.

 

The G35 is just a upscale version of the 350z. There performance numbers are pretty close in all catagorys. So I can understand why he said settle for a Z. :P

I have both cars, so when I take bussiness clients out to lunch I like taking the G35, where as if Im going for a long drive up a mountain road I'll take my 350z as it makes me feel like im driving a race car with its smaller size and stiffer ride. Even tho in reality its performance is only a tad better then the G35.

 

Your doing the right thing, And by the way, I must admit I don't follow my own advice like I should.....I want everything.....Yesterday! Good luck and If you go with a Z, Let us all know, Dave

 

Oooooh, Thems is fightin' words...LOL, Just kidding. You have the best of both worlds.....Dave
