Newbie here. Just bought an 03 performance z w/ 8700mi. on it. What a great car...although the stereo sucks, but I haven't been paying as much attention to it as i have to the 6-speed.

 

Wow! That's really good mileage! How much did you pay for yours if you don't mind me asking. The stereo does suck and I'm actually probably gonna replace the speakers in the car tonight, . Welcome to the board!

 

He wanted 24,900. I got it for 23k! Not bad for a model that is 31k new.

 

I must admit that you guys are making me paranoid with all of the "issues" I've been hearing about with this model...feathering, new tranny's, window probs....I hope that I didn't just buy a fast p.o.s.

 

NOT bad.. i got my 2 weeks ago. with 20,100K miles on it for 23K. its a 03 PPW TOURING 6 spd,bose,leather, loaded with everything. except NAVI.

 

yeah i was paranoid bout that too..im a Newbie wit my Z too.. so far i havent have any probelm cuz the first owner already took it back to the dealer and fixed everything. but so far just loving it..

 

Gratz! on the new Z.

 

no worries man..i just got my blue touring Z 3 months ago...it's an '03 also w/ 22k miles on it and it has had absolutely no problems...fast as hell, looks great and none of the issues that have been brought up w/ the '03s ...welcome to Z land!!!

 

Congratulations!! Don't let everybody scare you...my hubby bought an '03 Enthusiast back in February and hasn't had any problems with it.

 

Yeah...most of what people rant about here is fixable. The suspension issue is problematic, however. Seems some folks will not be able to fix the problem with a simple alignment. Rumor has it that the adjustable parameters are less than the needed parameters to permanently fix the problem. However, my '03 has had one alignment (@3K miles) and I'm now just under 10K miles with no problems.

If it does come back, I'll just install the Nismo suspension kit, lower it with some coil overs and be done with it.

 

Thanks for the reassurance. The negative posts were tainting an otherwise great experience.

 

I think u got a great deal..esp for a lil over 8k miles on the odo!

 

Love the car just hate the slip light around curves.
