Default Looking at joining the ZR Family - Opinions Please

I just joined the forum, as I wanted to learn from current owners their thoughts on the 350 ZR. I have read many a thread and will say thanks to all who have offered advice/comments/concerns about the car.
That being said, I have an opportunity to purchase an '05 Touring, white/frost, with 35K miles. I checked the carfax and it is clean. The dealer is asking $20500 for it. Does the forum think that is a good deal? Thanks!

Sounds like a good deal to me. I have an '05 Touring and have been VERY happy with it.
You might want to check into getting an extended warranty because if anything goes wrong with the top it can be very expensive to fix.
Good luck and enjoy.

Thanks for the input. The dealer that I am buying from is not a Nissan Dealer. Can I go to any Nissan Dealer after I buy the car the the extended warranty?

You can get the best deals on factory extended warranties from any Nissan Dealer as long as the car is within 3 years from the in-service date and has less than 36K miles.

A 2005 model may not be within the original warranty period - you'll have to check with the dealer and have him run the VIN to get the official in-service date. Even if you are out of the original 3yr/36K mile warranty, you can still purchase a Nissan Warranty - it may not be at the highest level of coverage though...

Good Luck!

go to www.edmunds.com and check the vehicle's True Market Value (TMV). My bank also offers an extended warranty for a fair price. It's a credit union.
