found a red 03, base model Z, they asking $18,000 plus tax and liscense comes with 2 yr/100k warranty, 29k miles it's clean as fuuuuuuk 6spd manual,

should I get this? it seemed like 18k was high for a base model 03.. but 29k miles? thx for help..

 

i would ask for 17000 for an 03...or lower...thats just me

 

I don’t know. Drive it. If you like it buy it.

 

this is kind of response I want.. I am ready to buy a car too so I should be able to get a good deal but how low is to low for them to go? they were asking 20k on sticker and I saw car online listed for 18k. I already drove the car and it was nice but I am apprenhensive about getting a base, no LSD, no navi, no leather, no heated seat.

 

Looks like an Enthusiast to me.

 

enthusiast? do u say so just cuz of the pedals? it had a VDC button to toggle on/off on the lower let side by the steering wheel, i didn't notice brembos though..? also how can I tell if this is a REv-Up or non rev up..?

 

Studying the various models before shopping might be a good idea.

 

I would say go much lower than 18, maybe like 16. I got an 05 enthusiast and the sticker was $25k and I got it for $20k I love mine! Good luck with yours

 

thanks for all the help.. I am waiting 'till cosigner gets off work and headin 2 tha dealership then 2 tha rim shop! ha

 

I got my 03 performance a few months ago for 19000, it had 23k miles.
I would offer around 16500-17000 and go from there.

+1. I hope the OP was not serious about actually going to a local rim shop.

I advise the OP to do some research before doing anything.

 

03 is non rev up. Also unless 03 lineup is different to 05 (except anniversary), the performance model has brembo and vdc, the enthusiast has tcs.

As for being apprehensive about not getting those extra things not offered by the base then dont get a car without it. You will miss the things you want. I am 100% sure i would have totalled my Z by now if it wernt for the tcs.

Hope that helps.

 

i got my 03 last year with 30k miles for $15k (private party)

 

Look at the switch on left lower dash. If it says "TCS", its an Enthusiast; if it says VDC, a Performance.

Do some homework on models. Several of the responses here are the blind leading the blind.

 

yo guys I'm debating now cuz there is a TL they suckered me into driving at the same dealership, it has navi and heated seats and **** tons of more options even leather (laf) and no I wasn't serious about local gangster rim shops, if I do get Z I'll get some deep dish volks
