Arrow Looking for a 350z - $10K or less

Wanted to see if anyone had a line on a 350z for sale in the area, or if anyone was thinking about selling soon.

Looking for:
6spd is a must
Base OK, but would prefer at least an enthusiast+.
Any color but Lemans Sunset.
Most older Z's have had past paintwork, but not looking for something that currently needs a great deal of body work.
Stock would actually be preferred, but a few mods are OK.

Trying to keep it under $10k and 100k miles, but might go up slightly for the right car. In the last two weeks I've checked out a number of cars in the area, mostly at used car dealers, but as expected all are a bit too rough.

If anyone sees anything, please let me know. Thanks!

The car was actually purchased by a good friend. We have been looking for a few weeks now. I think we did good, price wise we were right at KBB trade in fair condition. OTD @ 10.2k. CS & Black was his choice color combo I think, and the condition was vastly superior to other cars in this price range. I hope he enjoys Z ownership, I think he'll be hard pressed to find another car better on a 10k budget.

I'm hoping he will get bit by the mod bug soon.

Joe, we were looking all over. Seemed to keep coming back to the little car dealerships out in Chantilly as they were constantly getting 350Z's in, but all in FAR FAR rough shape for my taste.

The owner of one of the outfits said he had just picked up a SUPER CLEAN car that would be perfect, so I test drove it home from the Odessa auction up the street... 0 oil in the car, rust bubbling up from the rear quarter panels, dings/dents everywhere and the interior looked like it was malled by a couger. I couldn't believe this is what he called *Super Clean* See below...

We ended up picking something up from a new car dealer that had been on the lot, came in on the last day of the month and beat them up - the car was originally stickered at 13.9k.

For a clean car, I think you'll always do much better with a private party car. Good luck Joe - No lambo colored widebodies this time OK

18k for an 04 base -- you crazy Slim. I wish the Z market was that good, I'd sell mine.
