I found a sunset lemans orange 350Z touring with 9K miles for 20K. Its been garage kept under a cover, and never seen rain. It has every option except nav, and has the burnt orange leather seats ( dunno what there really called ). He had the dealership put on a NISMO catback and CAI.

I offered KBB 19K, but the dude is firm on 20K. He's an older guy that owns 4 other really nice cars, so I figure its pretty much a brand new Z.

 

I'd say it's a pretty good deal, I paid 20k for mines and it's a 04 with 29k miles. But 9k miles in 5 years wow.

 

good deal,

 

Sounds like a good deal to me, good color, too

 

fyi I paid 22k for my 05 enthusiast with 8k miles on it.

with 20k you can get at least an 05 and maybe even an 06 if you wanna take a chance with the rev-up

Unless you're looking for the decked out model i'd say keep on looking

 

with the low mileage.............and if your a person that wants, or likes the idea of the used car being very close to new then yes, i think its a good deal.....

me personally i would find a 40K mileage Z for 15.5K-17K since we all know these are great reliable engines, cars.....plus i know what to look for when buying mechanically........

i say go for it and be sure to post pics when you get her...

I bought a 2003 Redline Touring w/ 3k miles on it last july(2007) for 20k...same story as yours...the guy never drove it, so to me its a little high due to the price depreciation these cars have had over the past year.

When I bought mine the Dealer trade in on it was 20k. now that's retail.
I think 18-19k would be better, but if you really like it, and plan to keep it until its paid off then go for it.

EDIT: mine's an AT FWIW

 

same story here I got mine off a 69 year old man. grage keeped under cover. mine cam with 16,000 miles 2003 touring 350z

 

sounds good but i wouldn't buy an 03 with all of it's issues without at least 40k miles or so because by then any transmission problems which 03's and 04's were known for would have shown up already.

 

what are these transmission problems you speak of? My friend has a daily driven 03 that seems to shift pretty good. Is it only on ones that get raced alot??

 

+1. The 03's had numerous problems, from tires to trany to windows (i.e., more so than subsequent years...much more). Plus, all warranties have expired.

 

It might be worth it, but that depends on how bad you want it... I suppose.

I ended up paying 21k (Dealer originally wanted 24.9k) for my 2006 base 6 speed with 12k miles and it is in great shape and it also came with some extras. On top of that, I got a really good trade in on my truck.

 

ill sell you my stock 08 with 4k for 24k

 

'O4 Touring Coupe, 13k, NO FEATHERING & FLAWLESS AT: $2O,5OO!!! In
Puerto Rico, THAT'S a g-r-e-a-t deal. I'd go for an 'O4, 'O5, 'O7, etc., Zero!
Good luck!

 

now THATS HELL OF A DEAL!

get this car. not that oldie 03..

even though its only 20k for 9000miles on the car, it is still 2003.. Let me emphasize 2003. The first model of 350z. I would reconsider.

Just remember that you're getting a very very low mileage 2003... Which means you might have to deal with the TSB's and recalls.

 

take it is really a good deal very low miles.

 

i paid 22.5 for my 07 base with only 544 miles on it!

 

i had to get my tranny replaced and i have an 03 luckily i havent had to deal with tire feathering or window issues so hopefully now that im 50k miles anythign that would have happened did lol. i would buy it and take the rest of ur money and get another warranty put on the car, you'd have to ask around on here for how much it is though. when i bought mine i was able to weasel out a 5 year bumper to bumper up to 100k mile warranty out of the dealership, of course i bought it with 24k so its only like 76k miles lol but its better than paying for it haha.

 

there was problems with the tranny, they revised the tranny for newer years. If you have warranty its not really that big of a deal bc they replace it for you and give you the revised one. It dealt with the synchros being ruined and people grinding when they shifted. I had mine replaced bc i have an 03 but other than that i havent had any issues with anything, knock on wood. why does everybody keep bashing the 03 its not like its a terrible car or anything with any car that lasts a bit it gets updated its not liek the other years other than 07-08 are that dramtically better lol. We all have bascially the same interior the only difference really is the rev-up engine which granted it better. I stil think the 06 is the worst year, it burns oil like thats its job and i heard of people having all sorts of issues with them so in comparison i dont think the 03 is all that terrible but i guess im a little biased bc i have one lol
