Hello all, im shopping for a Z and im pretty picky as far as the condition it has to be in. I recently found a 03 with supposedly 11k miles on it. Ive already looked at it, and driven it, and it is almost perfect.

Here is the autotrader ad, if you were in the market, what would you offer? Whats a reasonable yet realistic price for this? Im not in a hurry enough to jump on the first car i see, but i do need something soon. Thanks!!

03 - 11k miles - Asking 19,995

 

Oh, and how difficult would it be to change the Odo milage on these cars? Seems really low...

 

Maybe it's just a weekend toy, thus the low milage. If it looks and drives good, what's $30 bucks when you're spending close to $20k?

 

11,000 miles on a 2003 is possible. There are plenty of garage queens around. But just to be safe run a CarFax.

 

+1

 

What does the Kelly blue book list as pricing for this model of Z car??

I wouldnt offer more than 17500

 

17000. my karpower KBB (dealership kbb) says its worth 17500. im sure they took it in for around 15k since its an acura dealership. offer them the 17k and go from there. Retail book for this car is 21800

 

i bought my 2004.5 for 21k after taxes last june and it had 11k on her.

 

If its a touring or track model thats a good price.

 

Have a good mechanic check it out.

I doubt odometer has been rolled back.

 

Hmm, ok thanks everyone for the replys. I dont know what im going to do. After seeing everything in my area, i actually think i want the car, as it is super clean. Initially i was thinking that i would rather buy a 04/05 with more miles for the same cost, and have something a little bit newer, but whats the point when this has was less miles. So now im kinda leaning toward Miles > Year on the importance scale.

They are trying to be sticky on the car's price, so i think realisitcally if it did happen it would be around 18 or 18.5, i dont think i would want to spend more than that on a 03. But that really sucks thinking about spending 18k on a car that is 5 years old already.

Ugh...i duno what to do. I really would like to spend less on an 03.

This sucks, i hate car shopping.

 

my friends father had an 03z bought brand new and sold it about 6months ago with 7k orignal miles on it. so yes its possible.

 

low ball em and go from there...offer the 17k and see what they say...i almost bought a car at palm beach acura but walked out after talking to the used car manager...was a real tool...

 

I will agree with you. A 2003 with 11,000 miles is a better idea than a 2004 with 22,000 miles. The miles are more significant than the model year.

 

Welp, I offered 17, they said 17.6 + Tax/tag/title/dealerfee

I said im not paying dealer fees, and ill do 18.7 out the door, which i think is pretty good.

Ive never spent this much money on anything before, this is very stressfull.

Ugh

Still unsure what to do, but i think i will probably do it.

Someone tell me its ok! lol

 

It's OK

Lou

 

True.

Some members are able to spend $35,000 cash without blinking an eye. For others $15,000 brings stress. Think about this: the 350Z is foolish transportation. Its an emotional purchase. Sometimes its necessary to throw caution to the wind and go for it.

 

$17,300 with no stinking dealer fees. This is a Touring right?
