Question Needing opinions on a Z i'm looking at?

I was hoping to get some help in getting the truth behind this car and what kind on money it could go for. It's an 03 Track/nismo with 6,XXX with brembos and supposedly nismo wheels, bose stereo. I know it doesnt have the wheels or the stereo, but it does have the nismo intake and possibly exhaust.

Can anyone let me know what it might go for and if it is a track or not.

here is the VIN# JN1AZ34E23T009323, if someone can give me a carfax report i would greatly appreciate it.

here is the ebay site i found it on.....

well the dealers will try to scam on anything, but I mainly want to know what the car would be worth and if its a track model. I have to call the dealership for the price tomorrow cause its still available

The wheels are Kazera KZ-As which are actually pretty nice but certainly not Nismos. Also the tires are a 295...I'm not sure that those will fit without rubbing - do a search and see for yourself. Mileage looks low, and am I the only one who thinks the tires look a little worn for that mileage? Exhaust does seem to be Nismo though.

Are you bidding on this car sight unseen? Recommend that you have it inspected by a third party BEFORE you bid. Happy shopping.

Yeah, I agree about the worn tires and 295 seem pretty ridiculous. I am not bidding on the car sonce it has ended but I am trying to contact the dealership that has the car.
Anyone think that 22,000 might be unreasonable. Let me know.

Would this Z possibly be a base model some goodies tossed into it?

The Brembo "option" is hefty...like $3k or something. The Bose upgrade is like $1k as well. If it has a LSD then it's probably not a Base.

Looks like a Track with the Bose stereo upgrade. $22k is reasonable.

What is an LSD? Not quite sure on all the terms. But this Z doesn't have the bose option, No casette and no sub either.

LSD = Limited Slip Differential. The Base is the only trim level that doesn't have it from the factory.

That looks like a Track model to me. Brembos, rear spoiler, front air diffuser (black plastic strip under the front bumper), cloth seats, no Bose. Also, it says "6 airbags" so it's like mine and has the extra side curtain bags in addition to the front and sides. That a really nice "extra" to have.

I say it's a Track with the Nismo intake and exhaust put on it. Got to Kbb.com and price a Track to see what it's worth. Then offer the dealer a bit less than that.

I am shocked, KBB and NADA retailed the car at 27,000 to 28,000 but private party sale on KBB said 22,800 for it. Kinda crazy since I can buy tracks with 14,000 or so miles for 22,000 to 23,000 grand.
