i just got off the phone with an owner w/ the car listed above...03 track, le mans sunset, with 35K for $20,000....

he seems pretty firm on the price...someone offered $19K and was declined...owner is in his late 50's....and states car is in mint condition....oh and a church pastor too!!! (possible no abuse to car??) to me this sounds like a very good deal....

however im thinking this in the back of my mind......
1. 2003 tranny = possible problems
2. no warranty, didnt ask if he has extended service contract or not
3. le mans sunset orange - it's livable!!!

so what you guys think?? to me looks very good...possible we might meet up this weekend to show me the car!!!

let me know good....bad....ugly.... thanks for looking...

 

I would say go for it. If it's in excellent shape, blue book would be almost 24k. Depanding on how mechanically inclined you are, consider bringing a mechanic or taking it to a shop for an inspection.

 

The drivetrain is still under warranty for 55k miles, so if you have a tranny problem you're good for a while.

 

honestly, if you dont love the color then dont buy it, you'll regret it.

liveable doesnt mean youll love it forever, when i was getting my z i wanted it in ls at first, but then realized even if it grew on me, i dont think i can live with it until i get another car. so i got a redline, red, definitely a color id love forever :-D, and while im at it all my sport cars will be the cliche red my .02

 

Actually, I think "cliche" would be silver. People are afraid to buy red sports cars nowdays.

 

I wouldn't buy it.

 

go for it!! I bought my 03 track in dec 04 with 27k miles on it and bought it for 24,500, def a good deal dude!

 

The powertrain warranty is good for 5 yrs and 60k so it there is a tranny problem it will be covered. That is a heck of a good price. If you do not like the color then do not get it. It will not grow on you.

 

LE MANS SUNSET ORANGE the most underrated but amazing colour for the Z
people ask me if this thing is worth more than a house due to the colour, lol

 

You either love LS or you hate it. If you love it, get it. If you think it's just livable, you are going to hate it.

 

Go to the site below and watch THE RUN and you will fall in love with Le Mans Sunset:

Sunset color goes well with carbon, do a search, there are a few with carbon hoods ect. not bad at all.

 

Sounds like a good deal. You can always purchase an extended warranty if you finance the car which will cover most any issues.

 

do it ...do it...do it

 

i like all the color for the z . they all nice looking . lemans sunset is a unique color man . i've have had daytona blue and now silver alloy for my 06 . but i still like the lemans sunset . why? because it looks unique for the second time i said this , go ahead and get it . sick looking color there.

 

Drive the car. Does it shift smoothly? Yes? Buy it.

be sure it does not include a oil cosuming problem . otherwise it gonna be alot of hassle for you .

 

Test drive it and see how it feels. But yeah, if you're not excited about the color you'll be looking to sell it in about 6 months.

 

thanks for all the comments guys!!!

color wise...its very nice.....i actually was looking to get something that stood out from the rest....(unlike silver/silverstone, im not hating!!!)my color options were blue, orange, or black....so i think le mans sunset color will be sick!!!


this is a private owner....so example if i go to B Of A to get a car loan...they will offer me a extended warranty??
