Default Need help with an '03 Z

Hi all,

I am looking really intensely at an '03 blue 350z.

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...ce=&cardist=10



For an '03 though I realize that the pricing is not stellar so was wondering in the wisdom of this board I could get a good guesstimate on how much i could knock off with some moderate to aggressive haggling.

I am finding '05's and '06's with less miles for cheaper but realize those are base models and lack navi and leather seats (just a couple of things I would really like to have).


some more background info:
-Have done some light reading on tire feathering and was wondering if regular alignments would be enough to fix this issue.

-What kind of other issues or recall can I watch out for when I go to test-drive this thursday?

-I'm not a fan of rolling around on cast 19's in Los Angeles, so will be seeing if I can switch the wheels with the stocks from an '06 G35 on the lot (i love how the g35 wheels look on the Z).

-Any general advice or tips? I am going through dealer so I can finance as well as trade my current car easily ('01 acura 3.2CL-S).

Thanks all

Car looks good! I would guess that you could get the car for about 20k out the door, mileage is pretty low on this for an 03. As for the wheels, just sell them on here or find a trade, don't make a deal with the stealership on the wheels, they'll screw you! G/L!

with the wheel situation, i know for a fact that they have an '06 g35; i was just hoping to steal those straight up for the RUFF racing wheels =p. I'm assuming i wouldn't be able to get a little more than a G for the ruffs (+ dealing with shipping and all that) and i've read that g35 '06 wheels run about a 1000 as well.

even trade if the dealer bites on it.

+1. 21k is way too high. Sticker on my 07 was less than 27k.

EDIT: Never mind, forgot about all the goodies, mine = base.

the car looks pretty sharp. if i were you i would keep those wheels but i guess it all comes down to preferences i guess. just like pretty much all the other posts says do try and sell the rims after you buy it your probly better off i have stock rims if you would live close enough id sell them but anyways. as for the price i dont think its that bad cuz well i dont wanna say how much i paid for mine :S looks like i might have spent a little too much but wtv its my baby heh. goodluck
