Default Looking at 03Enthusiasts

Wife is looking for a DD and found an 03 Enthusiasts with 46Kmi for $22,995. Wondering what to look for, going rate, known problems, etc. Heard about tire cupping in the 03s? See any aftermarket mods? Wheels? Thanks...

Some pics..

Nope just a aftermarket cd player and wheels from what i see. 03 and 04 has a fuel hose recall and i had problems with the windows. They had to replace the window motor 2 times.

WOW....Drove this one with the 6spd and an auto at a different dealer. The auto was more impressive than I thought it would be, but the stick flat out moved. Seemed like it pulled hardest at 6000rpm. Both had cracked serp belts and a little oil or wetness on the left side top of the motor. Head gasket leak maybe?

Also drove an audi tt 1.8 turbo conv. It wasnt too bad either, once the lag went away.

Wish the Z got better gas mileage, cuz it was a blast to drive, but not sure its right for a DD for my wife.
