Up for sale is a 2003 Nissan 350Z. The car has been professionally built and cared for from the beginning. The oil has been changed every 2500 miles with Mobil One Synthetic. The car is in excellent condition@@@ there is nothing wrong with it. The car has been stored all year in a garage and only taken out on the nice days. All the bodywork and the motor work have been professionally done. There has been a lot of money put into this car and there was nothing spared at any cost.

I wouldn't spend 27,000 on that Z. you could get a slightly used 2006 or spend just a little more and get a brand new 2007. However, if you don't want to spend that much money then you could still get an 03 with a lot less miles for around the $19-21 mark.
bahaha...i didnt even open the link and i knew it was that godawful abomination of a Z. seen those pics many a times.
do yourself a favor and dont buy it.
woot woot, and 2,000 posts for me

most people mod becuase they want what they want, so obviously its going to be hard to find a modded car you like. Buy a stock car and buy used mods. There's a huge private classifieds section here where people sell their mods, obviously alot cheaper than new.
and Neons, as in the SRT? i have no idea why they wouldnt be allowed in arkansas, but i wish they werent allowed in PA. haha one less POS ricer kid on the road.

Modified cars are difficult to price. I have no idea what this car is worth to you. First negate any claims that you cannot verify:
bodywork and the motor work have been professionally done
oil has been changed every 2500 miles
excellent condition
nothing wrong with it
stored all year in a garage
only taken out on the nice days
over $10,000 just in the body work
320hp
Can you verify any of the above? I cannot.

how can this guy claim 320 ponys with an intake and exhaust. and if you did by it you would have to get differant wheels or else get some hella big spacers for the rear wheels cause that looks like ****. AND there is a HUGE tach on the dash. so that proves whoever built this car is at least semi retarded. I wouldn't buy this car unless you could get it for 20 g or less.
Generally, modifications on cars do not raise its value. The seller may say so but any seasoned car dealer will tell you that a Z with body kits, intake and exahust is worth the same as the same Z in pure stock form. That's it. Most people that try to sell modified cars usually end up discounting the significantly in the end because the market for modified cars is much smaller than stock. I've sold cars before and most people only want stock cars.
The car you listed is not worth that money. It's worth whatever a stock Z is worth with that milage. To pay that kind of cash for some expensive fiberglass, intake an exhaust on a Z is a bad financial decision. Also, consider this, no bank will loan you this kind of cash for an 03 Z with that milage. So, unless you're planning to bring briefcase with lots of cash inside it when you buy it, you're not going to have much luck there.
As a reference point to what you should be paying for a car like that, I just bought an 03 Base Z with 37K miles, custom leather with heated seats, phenominal condition, always garaged, and Nissan's Gold 100K mile warranty on the car for $17.5K. This guy is 10K over that. Now I think you see how ridiculous that price is. Good luck and be smart about this.
