By all the things u said u have on ur car, u should have a grand touring, but those dont come with cloth seats, only leather. The track come with then spoiler and all stuff and cloth seats, but i'm not too sure about the navi. Your co-worker might have just added parts onto a base or enthusiast.

I don't know about the orange calipers but mines are gold and it's four pot front two pot rears. I think you got sold the wrong model. No big deal though unless he charged you more on the presumption that it was a Track Z.

Here's my 2003 Track Z with factory wheels and Brembo Brakes:

Try scrubbing your calipers... maybe they're hidden under all that brake dust..

OWNED!
Why say something as stupid as "owned"?? The guys is just trying to find out if he has brembo brakes, give him a break

I don't know why but the whole "owned" thing seems so lame

Oh man if that was the case, i'd be worried for what the car has gone through. Screw the brakes!!


Watch he's going to come back online and say:

"I don't know, the calipers are blue and say Endless."

When I read the title, I thought for sure this had to be a joke...guess not. ROFL

How about you take a pic, and show us? Then we can stop all this unneccessary chitchat and tell you Yes or No.

Wrong. It was available on '03-04 Track models. '05 was the first year it wasn't available in OEM trim.

are we done yet??? the conclusion is it's a 03 with cloth seats and navi (only way to do that is buy a track or a touring and sell the leather seats for cloth ones) Or like someone said the guy sold the brakes and put stock ones on. So what have we learned? don't buy a car without doing some research. You might end up with a brazillian touring, or a King Ranch enthusiast. You know this made me think....i don't have badges on my car at all, when I sell it I'll tell the buyer it's a rare 450 model and THEY'LL NEVER KNOW!!

i apologize for not responding. I totally forgot with all the other posts I have. Well I do NOT have brembo brakes. I pretty much bought the car b/c I thought I was getting a good deal on it. When I looked up blue book value I looked it up with the notion of it being track, so the value came up to be $26,500k. So when he was selling it for $22k it seemed like a good deal. Now after all the issues with the car, ( I need to get the front bumper repainted and repaired b/c of huge scratch and a slight dent...also i need to have the rear bumper repainted b/c it was painted before and the clear coat looks horrible on it..which i'm out close to $1,000 for it) i didn't get a good deal. In fact I pretty much overpaid by close to $2,000. I wouldn't be as pissed if the rear bumper and front bumper were in good shape and didnt need repainting but that is not the case. I am a very open and honest person so I assume that everyone would extend me the same courtesy. Oh well. I can only learn from this so in the future i'll make sure to do a great deal of research when making big decisions like this. thanks for all the help guy...I really do appreciate it.
