Default Buying first Z, can you guys check these for me?

Hey guys, first post on forum. But I'm in the market for a Z. I'm pretty set on an '03/'04 6MT. Anything newer is out of my budget (Looking around 11,000..and that would be pushing it). How many miles is too much for these things? This will be my first time buying a car.

If you could please check these out for me and let me know what you think.

This one is ideal for me. Super Clean, that orange/tan leather interior, CLEAN CARFAX with ONE OWNER! 94k miles, no accidents
$11,495
First Choice

second one has 2 previous owners, 2 minor accidents. 73k miles, $10,955
second choice

3rd choice: 2005 Track coupe, 2 previous owners, no accidents, 94k miles, $11,999

3rd choice

UPDATE* 4th Choice
One year newer (04') 52k miles! I need to pull the Vin and check it out tho. looks like best of the batch if its a clean title
4th choice

For $15k you can find a 07/08 with the HR engine with around 60-70k miles. That'd be the best thing to do.

I do like the first car.Black/burnt orange interior.The Touring has some nice features.
Its STOCK.
A lot has to do on how you use the car,miles per year you drive etc.My 03 Touring has
basically the same miles.It runs perfect.I'd check the tranny thoroughly.THere are
many Z owners with 200k + on their cars.
The car is priced too high because its at a dealer.I'd offer 10k.Go from there.
Living in your area,the color combo is desireable.Its a one owner.Sure you could look for a HR Z.Is a bit more performance your focus?
Some posts mention price too high.I agree.However,it depends on the area.Z's in
the Atlanta area are hot.The market dictates the price.There is a lot of junk out there.
Not many clean cars.
Good luck

The third choice states that it is a Track model. It is not, it is a Base. The first one would be my choice.

Funny how cars sell differently in different cities. I'll take a look at it next week when I get the chance to swing by. I will offer lower than advertised as you mentioned. Thing is I dont know why people haven't hopped on this one. Its been advertised for at least 2-4 months now. I check it frequently and see that no one has bought yet. Kind of leads me to think that the dealer won't really negotiate. I plan on keeping the Z for personal use to and from work. Mods will come but for now I just want to get one in good running condition.

LOL true about the rims, I know I would get rid of them if the price is right and I bought it. But the paint under the hood..good eye, I didn't catch that.
