would go for the base bc you wouldnt have to worry about picking up a problem car, and you can start fresh with the base

 

I hope you not selling your ride cause she said you need money for the house and you don't need the car. I made that mistake years ago about my 1971 Cuda 440 6 pack and now no wife and no car and no house. DON'T DO IT

 

Wait...what?

He is buying a car, not selling it. The person selling the car is the 20 year old kid who doesn't like dirty grease monkeys.

 

dude just go with the better car, which ever one has been taken care of and is mechanically sound...i have a 03 and i love it, it only had 12k miles on it when i bought it and now has 32k problem free and boosted..knock on wood, dont go by the year go with the better car, between those years not much difference

 

touring > base...my touring is much better than a base!! the interiors do not compare im sure and overall feel of the car on the touring is much nicer

 

oh damn just read more..dude is shady, as far as 03's and 05's though like i said shouldnt be the dabate, just find a good sound car

 

I haven't had any problems with my 03 Gc with 93k, but they do exist on some. I would be very suspect about the last line of the ad.

 

71 Cuda 440 6-pack... I'd rather fap for the rest of my life than sell that.

 

Sorry, I was reading on the run and ran out the door. And yes i'm kicking myself in the *** for the long time now and it still don't hurt as much as when I saw that Cuda leaving the yard that day. Don't ever part with something that you work long and hard for. And for you, I have and 05 touring. And I would not part with it for nothing, that my baby. Get the 05 and build it your way

 

^^^

OP, i would double-check those pics of the 05 if you're still considering them.
also no inspection = no deal. don't know what serious problems it could be hiding.

 

i didn't buy either.
the 05 was in mint condition, looks like it just got off the lot. and the guy was just lazy posting pictures, i went to see it in person. he was a family man, really nice. but the problem i found was i couldn't live with the base model.

i did some research and the base model had no cruise control or traction control. i'm not sure about ABS. i will be driving this car in the winter so i figured its too dangerous without TC or ABS... very sad i had to let that deal go, it would have been perfect if i had a winter vehicle and keep the 05 for summer.

so anyways, i bought a 03 touring car at 93,000km CAD$15750. had nice leather and VDC. now guys, this VDC button replaces the TC button? because i noticed TC button isn't there, but it still means i have TC right?

the body work isn't the greatest, scratches and the bumper has a plastic peice sticking out. hopefully its easily repairable. oh and a taillight was cracked and has moisture, i gota replace that

one more think. when i'm outside the car, and my buddy was test driving it. i can hear the gears shifting, is that normal? i can hear the mechanical sound when he puts it in 1st and 2nd

 

Congratulation on your purchase! I am looking for a Z as well. As far as I know, I think you only get VDC and TC in a manual car (correct me if I am wrong). Automatic doesn't offer both.

 

Congrats on your car!

VDC is an improvement on TC. It doesn't matter if it is auto or stick.

 

Register in May. Buy a 350Z in May. That's the way to do it. Congratulations.

 

also looks like the headlights onthe 05 have been modded... If the 05posted isthe same car theni'd stay faraway it most likely has been macked up! New wheels, new front end and new paint job. Getmore info as to why the seller changed the front bumper. I can see the wheel swap and the headlight mod but the bumper swap may have more to it!
