Default Approved of an auto loan of $14,000..

Looking to buy a used 350z preferably 2006+ with less than 100,000 miles.. My dream car was a 300zx TT but unfortunately my bank won't approve of a car that old.. My limit is $14,000.. Would really appreciate some help!

With $14k you can find a 05/06 with 50-60k miles. Keep checking autotrader/craigslist,etc daily. Good luck.

Does that 14K include taxes and fees?

I would drop it down to 03-04 and have a smaller monthly payment.

Exactly . I wanted a touring specifically and low miles. I literally searched for 6 months and found a 2004.5 touring with 31k for $13,995.

Put 20k on it and had a blast. I personally would stay away from the rev up engine but that's me.

Well I want a 2006+ so that the bank goes by the retail price. And so yeah I may have to get the rev up engine :/

Are you just wanting the bumper heads and tails and you're willing to deal with a crummy engine for it? Get an 05 or below or an 07 and up. My opinion

I don't know if you are looking for an automatic. You can get a 2006 automatic and it will come with the standard DE engine. The Rev-up only came on the manual models.

Dont waste your time on anything but an 07....

You get most up-to-date interior....a VQ3HR....Bi-Xenon projector headlights, and LED tails....

Its the no-brainer year.

I don't think the OP can honestly afford an HR.. I know I couldn't.

If you search and hunt you can find an HR in your price range- however it will have around 80,000 miles. And the clutch in the HR isn't bulletproof.

I doubt he will find one in his state for that price.

350z within 250 miles of OP

I've found a few 2007s that have under 100k miles I might look further into those, and sorry guys I don't know much about 350z's but thanks for helping anything else I should know before I choose?

I personally would get a 2004 or 2005. Cheaper, less miles and you won't notice a difference with an hr

The window motors on the z suck. You will have to replace it if it has not been done already.
