Welome to the site and hope your new purchase goes well. You'll love the car. But as stated above and to help you from getting flamed here, you will need to use the search function. Tons of any type of info you will every need here on this car.

When you drive a 350Z look for a button labelled VDC or TCS. That should do it.

Like mentioned above...VDC is a push of a button.

Word of advice...make sure the paint color matches with all panels. Also, if you have the greens to buy a Z, I'm sure you have $28 bucks to get a carfax...do it, it's worth it!

I bought a BLACK 03Z last summer and the damn thing was emaculate. With the paint being as bright as a pearl and having only 7000 miles on it...I didn't even think about looking twice. Cash that baby the next day. Went to wash it to impress the babes...got close to the license plate...my finger wonders upon a piece of tape in the license plate lighting fixtures. Pulled a good size tape out to realize that the car was re-painted. Tape was a masking tape with black paint on it.

Called the seller and nearly got into a GUN fight...the sad part is, it was his gun. He also threatened to call the cops on me, saying I'm trespassing his property and if I don't leave...he'll shoot me with a licensed gun.

Sad story man...I think I was almost in tears. Not because of the car, but the gun incident...haha. Nonetheless, I was so mad I went to charge $10K for Z...to make up for my hurt feelings.

So...don't look to much into condition and mileage...search that b!tch high and low. Good luck.

Damn camera dated the picture wrong...I bought it 7/07 and pic was 8/07.

53 miles on an 03 with mods? Are you sure you arent missing about 3 zeros after the 53? How much are you getting it for?
