The easiest way for the seller to cover tire feathering is new front tires. Besides most buyers could not recognize feathering if it bit them on the ***.

You might want to check the wear pattern on your "H" key.

J/K!

Default WTF??!?!?

SOOO.. I went to the dealer that had the 2005 enthusiast 350z white A/T which had 33k miles on it. The internet price was at $16950 and they gave me an OTD price of $18700 and would not go any lower. WTF! Am I the crazy one or are they?

I just bought a 2005 PPW Touring MT, 33,000 Miles for $16,000. It was in amazing condition, one owner, etc. Exactly what I wanted. So my advice is, make sure the car is EXACTLY what you want, and the price is fair. Because I wouldn't have been happy getting a cheaper car if it wasn't exactly what I wanted.

Well, I went to the dealer because I wanted to trade it in for a Nismo version Z. However, I ended up keeping the car and decided to spent some $$$$ in mods instead and make the car my own.

Here is how it looks thus far:https://my350z.com/forum/members/nis...ms-katana.html

they gave you the internet price of 16,950 plus tax tag and title fees would come out to 18 and some change.

your car is sick man.

Sadly I'm still looking after how long its been. I agree with people here where i should keep searching for the one i really want instead of settling for less. I was about to give up and go for a silver touring, but i really didnt want silver so I'm still searching.

Monday, will be going to another dealer they have a black/black 05 35th anniversary Z, 31k miles, listed at 17,990. If I can get them to do for $17,000 OTD hopefully i can join the Z owners club. I still want a WHITE Z but right now white or black which ever comes first, but i will for sure never settle with silver =|

I totally agree -- do not settle for the silver!
That thought crossed my mind so many times...
Because they're cheaper, they're everywhere, easy to find, etc.
But, in the end it wasn't what I wanted.
Just wait around and the perfect car will show up!
