Hey guys,
I'm back. I've sold my wrx and figured out that I won't be doing the family life for another 7-8 years. So I'm looking for my 2nd car. There's a 03 350z base for sale w/ 6,000 miles. The owner is asking $19,500. After reading all of the technical info and problems, do you think it's worth the risk? My budget is $23k. Should I just wait for an 04.5+ with a higher mileage or is this one of those times it should be jumped on?

Thanks in advance...

 

That seems like a nice price... The mileage on it is crazy good.. Must have not drivin it anywhere... But I would recommend this..

If you know a shop that can take a look at it them have them do that.. Have them check the compression it can hold to make sure the motor is in good condition... Also take it for a drive and have a feel of the clutch.. ride it around for allittle and see if there is any slippage etc..

There is really nothing else you can do....

 

I'm not a nit picker on price but $19,500 sounds high for an 03 Base.

Do have the car checked out by mechanic you pay.

 

sounds a little high to me as well.

The mileage is nice but its a double edged sword. It is not good for a car to sit that much and that low mileage it has sat a lot.

 

For reliability look at:

a. 2006
b. 2004 or 2005
c. 2003

 

You are welcome.
