Default Funny you should ask

I just bought one Fri, it is an 04 enthusiast with 78k mi Daytona blue in almost perfect condition, took it to a mech shop, put it on a rack and gave it a real good inspection. I got lucky, if your willing to drive you can find anything, but to answer your question, yes it is deff possible

OP - Yes, it's possible. It will most likely be an 03 with higher miles, but you'll find one. A lot of people are trying to sell theirs due to the economy.

That's not a real offer.

Consider

I will give you $12,000 for the car now.

then pull a roll of hundreds out of your pocket. Money talks. BS walks.
well said

350z might not be the car for you yet. If you are already tight on money, its gonna cost you a lot more for insurance than an accord, especially being a 20 year old male.

i was able to get my 03 with 20k miles for 14k from a dealer. as i think bout it i think i could have gotten it lower too.
i was looking off and on for the right deal though for a very long time. about a year... i didn't really need a car as much as i wanted a car worth having if you know what i mean.

Why dont you just finance a Z get your crdit score up.. throw a decent down payment on it then you wont have to search so hard for a car

Default A Z for $12,000...Sure

I bought my Z for $11,000. Its an 03 Touring with 60,000 miles when I bought it. In Great shape. Only thing slightly wrong with it is there is a 'coin tray' thing in the consol that is broken & the drink holder in the dash wont come out, but I don't let drinks in my car anyway.. So yea you can find one.
P.S. - I work at a Parts store and deal daily with the people I bought it from. Plus I had to put tires on it.

I bought an 03 Touring w/LSD for 12,5k... found it in completely mint condition inside and out, high miles (all highway), car originated from down south, only 2 owners and all services made accordingly. Drove it 200 miles from dealership to home, and all engine/chassis/suspension was spot on, with great feedback. Great new weekend toy for me & the wife

Don't be afraid of high mileage cars, check service records, and do a proper follow through of the car before purchase. These cars were built to last... "if" well taken care of, so follow proper maintenance.

I bought this past January an 04 Base with just 36000 miles for $13,000 and that was from a dealer, not an individual. Car was in excellent shape.


Quick Reply: is it POSSIBLE to buy a 350z with $12000?
