I have a max budget of 20-25k for a car purchase. I know I want a Z. What Z would you buy in that price range? I'm debating whether to go with a newer model with more miles or an older model, and possibly a 350z, with under 40k miles. I don't know enough about Z's to know which model years are better or the differences in the packages.

 

For 25k I would go newer Nismo or 370z. If I was to be in the market for a 370z I would get a g37s instead. I prefer 350z over g35 but g37 over 370z. Just my opinion though. If you are stuck on 350z go 07 or 08 Nismo.

 

I'd find me a damn good condition 2007-2008 NISMO / Grand Touring with Navi.

If you don't want a 350z, you could potentially get a 2009 370z with a bit higher mileage (Touring + Sport package).

Is the 20-25k your max amt including tax/title? If so, you may actually be limited to 350z.

 

There's a 08 nismo with 8k miles for $25k in mobile, AL. Which is very close to me.. With that budget, you're good on a 350. Just pick a 07-08 you like. Lol

 

DWIG, there is a post here explaining the different trim levels, etc. Use it as a guide .

You have a good budget to work with and will have a lot available to you. You are also very close to 370Z territory.

I am here in Kansas City. Feel free to PM with questions.

If you have a Z in time, be sure to check out www.bransonzfestcom which is in about 2 weeks.

 

I got my 08 touring with 30k miles on it for 21k and it is flawless

 

@ that price, it's really a tossup between getting a loaded 350z or settling for a lower end 370z.
