2006 350z Base
New to the forum, hello everyone!
I'm considering buying a 06 350z.
Wondering if the car is driveable without traction control with a good set of winter tires?
The one I'm looking at is around $28k with 20,000km.
Good deal/bad deal?
Opinions/advice is appreciated!

If you want to go through the importing process yourself you can pick up a Base model in the US for about $20K. I paid $24K for my used '06 Enthusiast and it was only 6 months old and 5300 miles on it.

The car is pretty stable in the snow pending you have a good set of winter tires. Obviously and spirited driving should be limted to empty snow covered parking lots. Be sure to pick up these tires. They will make all the difference.

I have the winter sports M3s and they are great. I would NOT recommend driving the car in the winter without VDC. I drove this past winter and VDC helped bigtime!!
Consider spending the extra money if you can.

you can call any auto broker and they will ship the car to your door, take care of taxes and border fees.. which you will have to pay, and then on top you will have to pay the broker $1000 is pretty average.
state taxes, which you will pay on top of your price if from a dealer, no you will not get this back, negotiate the tax off or lower the price never buy for full price.
In my search I got dealers to lower as much as $2K off asking price, not saying that’s what will happen but give it a shot.

yes, US pricing.
a lot of work importing, but think its going to be worth the trouble in the end.
so far put 1k down on the car.
arranged transport with dasautoshippers.com (anyone have any experience with them?).
Should be in my hands within 20days.
I'll keep everyone posted
