Hi All. New here, but have been on the370.com for ~3years. I autox my 370 pretty heavily, so I know a few of the 350 autox guys on here. I'm hoping to pick up my buddy's 2003 Touring 6MT for an STU build. It has 55k miles, he's the 4th owner, decent shape besides what looks like a repainted rear bumper cover and cracked front bumper cover below the driver's marker light. It also has these "NSD" stickers on the doors, hood, and hatch, and no VIN stickers on these panels like my 370 does. Is that normal for a 350?


The skinny is he's asking $10k. Looking for some feedback on this vintage of 350. Pic attached as well. Thanks guys.

 

I'm not one to care about miles, but I would never pay 10k for a stock 03 350z

 

Depends where youre at i guess. Around me thats a 13k csr. But then factor in the damages 10k seems fair. Personally, if youre not in a rush, id offer 8k

 

My pre-order '03 track model does not have any 'NSD' stickers on any of the locations you've mentioned. Does that Daytona Blue Z still have a VIN sticker on the outside door jam (near the door latch)? If not, there may be something special about that particular model- good or bad...

Pricing sounds a bit high for a stock car, but you should look at KBB or Edmunds to gain better insight into used car pricing in your area...

 

The car is in Wisconsin....AutoCheck shows mostly living in Chicago. However, there's no signs of seeing the salty winter roads.


There is the dash VIN plate, a riveted metal VIN tag on the firewall, and no door jam VIN sticker that I found. For me, it's adding up weird in comparison to my 370, but who knows what they were doing in '03.


KBB suggested values attached. Seems high to me given a 12 year old and fairly readily available car, especially if I go South instead or North. Thank you for your thoughts so far.

 

Uhh you need the door jamb sticker for inspections...at least here in MA

Check for subtle paint difference between door/fender/quarter panel. The drivers side might have been hit and the door frame replaced

 

I would be weary of the tranny, there was a slight revision ion 2004.5 with the second gear synchro. This is known to go out in the early production Z's.
