Hello, I purchased a 03 350z Touring with only 18k miles for $23,900 and the day after I got rear-ended while leaving Peterson Air Force Base. Talk about being pissed off. Do you guys think I overpaid?

 

pics?

 

I hope GAP insurance?

and any mods?

 

I do have gap insurance but its not that bad. I only have to replace the rear bumper and the back left tailight. Its about 2k in reapirs.

 

No mods yet, but i'm still looking for a nice set of wheels.

 

locate a rear bumper from the wrecking yard, have it color matched (painted) and a new pair of 06 led taillights probably for less than 900$.

 

that sucks the price seems ok. is is A/T or 6 spd. 03's have had probs with the trannies if you didnt already know that. good luck with it you will love it.

just a quick story maybe it will make you feel better. like 15 yrs ago my uncle bought a brand new car. pulling out of the lot someone hit him. dropped it off at the body shop first day he had it. gets better. the body shop calls him later on in the day and sayd your car was hit. he says i know thats why it was at their shop in the first place. he says no there was an accidient and it was parked out front. i t was hit again. brand new car hit twice in the frst day of ownage and than he had to wait mad long b/c they had to wait on the parts which they barely had b/c it was so new. hope you feel better

 

I'm having it done for free by the driver that hit me and their insurance company. I'm getting everything new!

 

Sorry to hear. I don't think you overpaid, but i say that based on the fact that i paid the same price for my '03 touring with 31,000 mis last year . Reguardless, it's too late now. Now get her fixed, and get out and enjoy your new toy!!!! Don't look back!! P.S. if you didn't get an extended warranty, bare in mind our powertrain warranty is gonna run out soon. So pay close attention to your tranny between now and then. (Assuming you got a 6MT)

 

Yea that does suck. I'm worried that when I go to pick it up from the body shop that i'll get plowed into again by another teenage girl. Thank god I also own a new Xterra!

 

I got the 6 year extended warranty. I had to get an automatic due to the fact that my wife cannot drive a manual. I know I know dont rape me too hard about that but she does have a say since she is paying for the car.

 

thats why it was cheaper autos are cheaper b/c lsd and tire pressure sensors. good luck start modding immediately

 

I want to mod now but i am only an E-4 in the Air Force. Dont make that much money! ):

 

What's the connection between Automatics and tire pressure sensors?

 

no rape! At least yal came to a happy medium. Many wives won't even let their hubbys buy a Z. Gotta pay to play!

 

You don't make that much money and you also have a new Xterra??

 

Yea I know, she traded in her Ford Focus for it too!

 

Yea we're both in the US Air Force so together we do alright, but not enough to spend 2k on a set of wheeks and tires yet.

 

I was wondering if I got a deal on price as well. I got an 2004.5 Silverstone Touring model with 31,000 miles and is certified pre-owned. I paid $22,700 (thats out the door including tax, title, reg... etc. etc.). I am looking into some mods. Possibly 19's, K&N 63 or Typhoon CAI and Borla exhaust. Now if I could just gather the funds...

Does anyone here have knoweledge as to how much whp would be added from the CAI and the exhaust?

Thanks.

 

Not sure how bling you wanna go, but i purchased a set of stock 2007 wheels here in the classified section for mine and they look very nice. Only paid $700, and they were mint. For factory rims i think they look georgeous on the Z and i still don't understand why everyone gets rid of them asap. They i sold my stock touring rims for 300. So made out pretty cheap and got a very nice upgrade!! Just a cheap suggestion for ya!
