03 350z for 10k --good buy?
I'm looking to pick up a Z for spring time. I have two options. One, I can get a 03 (bone stock) w/ 40k miles for 10k w/ cash, or I can wait for an HR to show up and finance. Its going to be a summer fun car as I have a Prius (go ahead and Laugh) to drive back and forth to work.
I don't like the idea of having a 10 year old car, but I do like that I don't have any payments.

I found a PPW 07 w/ 49k miles $17k, the bumper grille is painted white. Do you guys think that's a big enough red flag? Carfax shows up clean, but I don't trust it.

Notice the black mirrors too.

Oh man, red spray painted stock calipers, rice exhaust, chitty head unit, terrible looking woofer box, white grill, and a base model to boot? I'd probably stay away from that thing because if it's riced out now, who knows what was done to it before.

03 with 40k miles for 10k is a really good deal if it's a clear title / nothing is wrong with it. It's worth around 12k when I looked it up. I'd say if you can pay cash for that I'd rather do that than have a car payment. Get the 03 and put on 07-08 headlights and tail lights.
40k miles for an 03 is extremely low mileage.

I'm checking out an HR roadster this friday. The 03 is very tempting in many ways, but seeing that everyone is steering me away from it, I'm going to abide
08
49k mileage
19k
I'm hoping to talk them down a couple grand, if they don't take it, then I'll walk away. I really would prefer a coupe.

Go ahead and wait on an HR. You will NOT be satisfied with the DE performance or its minimal gains from bolt ons. Former DE owner and now HR, the HR is more refined in every way. Looks, performance, etc. Do yourself a favor, wait and keep looking. All this is IMO ofcourse.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to take the advice and wait for the car I want. HR's are really scarce right now in New England -- I can hardly find any.
