Default What is your opinion of this z?

I have been wanting a 350z for a while now and the funds are finally available and I have been searching for months. This z seems fair priced and good condition judging by the photos. I have yet to see it in person pr drive it but it will be soon. So judging by the pictures and seller info I believe it to be a 2004 touring model and it has 65*** miles for 13k. Opinions would be much appreciated. Here is a link http://www.autotrader.com/ATCarID/AT...r_id=330557689

How much are you willing to spend? If 13k is you limit I personally would wait however hard that might be. For a little more 07/08 are creeping into the 14/15/16 range.

But if you are serious about this one for a 04 it looks great to the eye. Take it for a drive along with the carfax!

Hey,we are "neighbors".I live in the same metro area.
From what add says&pics,the car looks clean.It does appear to
be a Touring.The price is reasonable for Z's in the Atalanta area.
However,I'd offer 12k and go from there.
Since you are seriously shopping for a Z,you may want
attend the Z Nationals next weekend at Z1 Motorsports right down
road from you in Carrolton.Maybe see you there in your new Z!

13k isn't necessarily my limit but I will be making payments and I want them to be as low as possible. I would love to have an hr z but I haven't seen a loaded low mileage hr in my area for less than 20k. I plan on checking out this z in person this Saturday and possibly purchasing of no other z catches my eye. I usually attend the z nationals and hopefully I can make it to the nationals with my own z for the first time. Thank you for your opinions

What looks good about this Z is that it is all stock.Don't see any mods.
Very unusual...not even a CAI or the Bose system changed(gear shift ****?).Gotta think the previous owner(could be a one owner)was a older guy or a lady.
If I was in the market for a use Z,I'd look for bone stock.
This may be a good one.
Drive it and pay special attention to the tranny.

Yeah as far as I can see the only thing not stock is the shift **** which, in my opinion, is a little goofy lol. It could have been modded and returned to stock but either way it's stock now. I will be doing my best to inspect the entire vehicle and listen or feel for anything unusual while driving. I am going to school for automotive technology with only one semester remaining so I feel/hope that I will be able to recognize any symptoms or problems.

if the car drives good and carfax is clean.. try to talk em down to $12k and then i'd say go for it.

i may be the only one but in the back of my mind sometimes i think about selling my HR z, and buying an older model Z to boost. but i know i'll never do it.
