That's nothing though. I know someone who's dad has a 98 Maxima bought new in 1998...10k miles on it. I saw the ODO myself. The kid no drives it and is racking up the mileage a bit more, but still - absurd.

Rat is right. Enthusiast doesn't have VDC, only TCS

The TL is a whole different car than the Z. I've driven both and they both have their pros and cons, depending on what you're looking for. Make sure you know what you want first before you start shopping.

In case there was any doubt left, the Z you posted is not a Base . I have a redline 03 base with leather that I bought this past April. It came with extended 100K warranty, 39K on the odometer and pristine condition. I paid $17.5K. You should pay less now because that same car is now 1 year older. I'd say paying $16.5K for my car today would be reasonable. You can use that as a point of reference. Also, I am in MA and car prices vary across the country so my car is worth different amount than if it were located in TX, for example. Bare that in mind when you take people's opinions on prices on the board.

When it comes to cars, make sure you get what you want in it. If you're not sure and buy it, trust me, it won't take long before you'll regret not getting the features you really wanted. I bought a clean Base Z with leather because I really cared about good condition, I wanted leather and a 6-speed Z. The rest was gravy to me. Now, I really don't regret getting the base. The only thing that does make me stop and think occasionally is the lack of LSD. I do miss it occasionally during more aggressive maneuvers.

i bought my track with 11k miles for 25k 9 months ago, i think....


18k for a base with 2yr 100k sounds like a good deal to me. Maybe offer 17k, anything below 17k is low balling them IMO... good luck

This kid has been a my350z forum member for exactly 41 days now. He's had his car for about 2 weeks. Hasn't even been to a meet yet. The entire NW already wishes he never bought a Z and stumbled upon this site.
