hey guys im getting ready to pick up my new Z on friday is everything goes as planned..i was just wonderin what you guys though...its a 03 touring 6 speed with 22k miles, rebuilt title for 16k bux...heres some pics of it lmk what ya think if its a good deal or not?

 

just get know that the car has probably been raced since it has an intake so the tranny might be weak or something. You never know what the person did with it before hand.

I, myself, would never by a car that has driven by a teenager or that has performance modifications. I don't know one person that buys performance parts and not see what it can do.

oh yeah, and the price value of that car goes down A LOT if you ever tried to trade in or any type of resale since it has a rebuilt title.

 

+1 on the parts.

As for the rebuilt title, you might not even be able to trade it in. Certain dealers might not even want to deal with rebuilt / salvaged cars.

Just a heads up.

 

yeah, ill be sticking with this car for a while...the car was owned by a 30 year old guy, just by looking at it would you think 16 is a good price for it?

 

Very true. I have actually dealt with a customer that he let us trade in his rebuilt 05 ford escape. We gave him 5k and he actually traded it in!! We then sold it at the auctionfor 10k because it's illegal to sell a rebuilt car at a major dealership on the lot.

 

As a rebuilt car its worth 1/2 of normal value , so $10k at most.

 

yea id be weary

 

Honestly I think you can find a used car with a clean title for the same price with a bit more mileage. 03's are cheap.

 

I would HIGHLY recommend not buying it. Rebuilt title is a b**** to trade in, I would pay 8k-9k for this car in all honesty. Its not worth much more than that.

 

this is its REALLY hard to find used Z's around Ky, idk why just is very hard to find them i have only found 1 other 6 speed for same price but with 70k miles...

 

You can look under the kelly blue book and a 03 z performance or track edition with 100k miles is still worth 20k in excellent condition. 70k miles isn't that bad either. It would last much longer plus when the time comes, you have an excuse to build the motor.

Don't rush yourself when buying a car. Trust me, you will learn the hard way.

 

I'd rather take a Z with a clean title and 70k miles than a Z with a rebuilt title and 100 miles.

 

Yeah, you don't know what type of hidden damage it might have. It had to me major or it wouldn't have been totalled on such a new car.

Now with that said I have a beater that I bought for $700 that runs great:



To me it worth $2500 or so but, it's 1/2 book is at $700 Salvaged. That's what a lawyer will tell you.

 

Very clean. With only 22,000 miles there is lots of fun miles ahead.

 

u could get a clean tittled z for like 2 g's more....

^ more miles but looks nice and has navi

There ya go, in Kentucky, 6spds.


Even if you don't like those, I'd say drive to another state and pick one up before dealing with a rebuilt title.

 

English, do you speak it..??

 

Thanks for all the advice guys! Well i have always delt with rebuilt vehicles, ive had a 03 celica that was rebuilt 04 Srt-4 rebuilt, 05 srt-4 rebuilt, 01 Roush mustang rebuilt...and i always check the vehicles out b4 buying them, and i just sale them when i get tired of them straight up..from the looks and driving this 350z it seems like brand new even smells brand new..
