You can get the Car Fax by going to the 'dealers' website, 2 owners, everything appeared to be clean. Does anyone know of Fairfax Auto Gallery in VA?

This is a nice Car.
Always liked the anniversary cars.
Also gave up long time ago on buying from nice big shiny dealers in premium locations sincne they add premium markup for the same cars.

That seems like a perfectly normal seller to me

That is not correct. I have an Ultra Yellow....but it is NOT a 35th anniv edition. They came in four colors....Yellow, Silver, Black & White.

FWIW check the vin# to be sure.

where do you people come up with this crap?

35th available in 3 colours yellow, silver, black. That is it.
In the US yellow was also available for the track pack. Canada had no track packs after 2004.

Thanks...that is what I expected after googling them and finding only one horrible review. If I knew that was a legit dealer (not that any are I guess) I would be buying the car tonight most likely. However, I am really hesitant because of not knowing the dealer. I am not very tech savy with cars so looking at it myself and trying to figure out if anything is wrong with it will be pointless. I live in NJ so I have about a 2 hour drive. What are the chances you could take a look at it for me or refer me to someone who could? Obviously I will compensate for your time.

P.S. This is my first post from work

Heres the deal. I live in NJ, zip 08035. I am willing to spend up to $17,000ish, hopefully a little lower and would like to find one as close to me as possible but I will travel 250milesish if necessary. I plan on going this weekend to buy one somewhere because I am sick of being on this website without actually being an owner haha. I'm completely serious too by the way so any help would be great. I would like to buy from a legit dealer.

My old 350Z is for sale here:

http://www.jonesjunctionnissan.com/u...76dd56c7a0.htm

Car is immaculate and runs great. Oh make sure they put some new tires on it. I got $7,850 for it. Offer $8,850 plus tires ($400-$800) and I bet the Z is yours.

NOTE: I forgot test pipes. If they put new catalytic converters on the car figure an additional $700. Those things are crazy expensive.

Thanks so much...
Wow that looks really nice...deff interested. When did you trade it in? What else should I know about the car? And how hard did you drive it haha? Could you sum up test pipes/cat converters for me why would they need to put new ones on? Sorry I know I should just search it myself but I'm tired as hell and figure you could sum it up in like two seconds haha. PM me all info that you think I should know about the car cause I know I wont learn much from the dealer haha. Thanks again
