NOTHING is selling at KBB or NADA these days. I would be amazed if you couldn't find and '03 for cheaper.

The car might be worth that much, but the question is whether or not you need to pay it to get that car in this economy. There's a lot of people selling cars, and not a lot buying. That equals a win for those of us on the buying side.

Offer him $14,000 and go from there. It's unlikely that he'll take that but it's a good starting point for negotiation. In any case I wouldn't be paying anywhere very close to KBB value these days.

Wouldnt you rather look for a newer Z with comparable mileage in a base or enthusiast package? Better resale value and you can always add the extras the track offers.

I'm selling my 03 Enthusiast with only 33k miles on it, no tire feathering and has the new transmission in it..in addition to 10K in upgrades, and I'm only selling it for $17.5.

Times are tough, thats a lot for a stock Z with that many miles
