After a couple years of looking at the 350Z my old trusty Toyota finally gave out and I was ready to buy!! I opened the paper this morning and saw a 2005 Base 6spd with only 5700 miles on it. So off to the dealership I went. After hours and hours of negotiating and paperwork I finally was on the road with my new Z!!

I pucahsed the car for $23,978+TTL, They said it was used as a demo car. Is that a god deal?
My first project will be to find some nice wheels for it. Any ideas of web sited to look at with pictures of wheels on the Z?

Thanks

welcome dude...do a search for member "bubble" he has the most/best photo albums.

 

the Wheels im getting are volk sf-challanges 19X10.5 in the back and 19X9.5 front they are so sweet...but also will cost you some $$$

 

Thanks! I am excited about the Z!

Does $23,978 sound about right for a 2005 Base with 5k miles on it?

 

Sounds like a sweet deal to me... Congrats!

 

that sounds pretty decent considering the mileage is kinda low. now you gotta worry about what wheels you want. haha

 

I actually saw this car in the paper for that price and when I got there they told me $26,500 So I had to go buy a newspaper to show them the ad and then they agreed to honor that price.

No kidding on the wheels....That is going to be one expensive upgrade! The only other thing I might do pretty soon is the intake, I hear that makes a pretty decent difference for the money. Any other Ideas?

Thanks again for the imput.

 

Welcome to the club! What color did you get?

 

Thanks!!

It is a 2005 White Pikes Peak , 6spd. with only 5700 miles. How do I know what package it is? I am assuming it is a base since it does not have bremo brakes, leather, heated seats etc. Maybe base or enthusiast......

 

www.tirerack.com is a great place to see the different rims on the 350z.

Enjoy your new purchase....

 

If you have cruise control (buttons on the steering wheel) its enthusiast or performance. If you have 18" wheels and yaw control, its performance (enthusiast has the 17s and just traction control).

 

Do you have cruise control?

 

base has no cruise control so i guess he doesn't have anything on his steering wheel

 

Not sure about cruise control, the steering wheel does not have any buttons on it though. It looks like it might be a base.
The engine is the same on all models, correct?

I am very excited and cant wait to start the modz!!

 

pics?

 

Getting the car washed tomorrow after work and will then take some pictures!!

 

congrats .

first thing we need to know is what color did you get? that seems to be the most important part of the car...

 

I believe he said it's a PPW. great color!
