Now in the market for my first Z!
 
Hey everybody, this is my first post on here.

I finally was able to sell my jeep and bike. Now its time to buy a Z

I've done a decent amount of research on the car and have decided that I want to do a mixture of things, including a little bit of drag and drifting. I'll most likely go NA and just run NOS or not, depends. Of course make it look like a sweet ride and have it lowered a bit with some killer wheels.

Anyway, I found a couple of cars in my local area or a couple miles around it. Tell me what you guys think on the pricing, and looks. Any info and tips are much appreciated. Thanks :cool:

The 2nd one has a better chance of not being ragged the f out because of the fact that it is closest to being stock.

The 3rd is really clean, but too expensive. For some reason I'm not feeling the 1st

3rd one has too high of mileage. I like the first one, but it is a little over priced for my tastes. 2nd one would be great if you can talk him down. Buy the 2nd one and use the extra 2K to build her to your taste

Doesn't sound promising does it...

OP I'd certainly pick the 2nd Z. I agree with others, the 1st Z is overpriced. The 3rd is a base, not there's anything wrong with that. At least with the 2nd Z it appears to be a touring and like others have said, it's the closes to stock. Looks actually pretty clean for a '03.

Syner 02-20-2014 08:22 AM

lol not really.

If I had to pick, I would choose #2. Looks the cleanest and almost stock, and the mileage and price are reasonable for that year car. See how long that owner has had it, and check the Carfax to see where it's been.

Number 2 for me as well.

Lol.

Yea #2 is my personal choice imho too. I was talking to the guy and he says it he bought it stock and he is the second owner, only mods he added was a head unit and a new exhaust. It looks pretty good. I also like #1 but he is asking too much for what it offers, the 05 has the same DE engine as the 03 right? i'll contact him too and offer him a lower price.

Syner 02-20-2014 01:35 PM

Number 2 is nice, looks like a Touring?

Whiteazn2 02-20-2014 01:40 PM

Number 2 and then get rid of the wagon wheels.

Welcome to MY350Z. Out of those options I would go with #2.

oldschool350z 02-20-2014 01:56 PM

Number 2. Looks almost all stock and clean

Thanks! have been ghosting these forums for about a week now, seems pretty chill with some cool/nice people.

I talked to him and he said he would go $9500, seems like a good price for that car eh? kbb is asking 10+ for fair.

It's a Grand lower than his asking price, I say go for it! It looks well taken care of.

CJM 02-20-2014 04:23 PM

9500 is a fair price (better than fair) for it. Just make sure nothing is wrong with it (*cough* transmission *cough*). There may be a reason it is so cheap (learned that the hard way and had to walk away from three cars). But if she doesn't grind and is in as good of condition as he says it is, take it

:dunno: The 3rd Z is $2k more, has 30k MORE miles and is a BASE! All of which suggest NOT to choose the 3rd Z.

Agree.
NISSAN 350Z 2004 Base 6-speed manual
• Mileage 1163XX
Way too many miles.

I think #1 should be around $10,500.
