Here’s my problem most of the Z’s in my area are automatics for some reason I can get an 05 Z with under 40k miles with leather for around the same price as an 03 cloth manual Z with over 50k mile….is the auto that bad…would you rather leather w/ auto are Cloth w/ 6spd?

 

depends on your personal preferance. I had to go 500 miles to find the right combination. Dont just settle on an auto because its close, or quick, if what you really want is stick. You'll regret it.

 

If you're using it as your daily driver and you live in NYC, then you might want to consider the auto. Also consider that you're getting a newer Z with less miles.

 

Take your time & get what you really want. Do some research and define your needs both for the street & possibly for the track also, good luck.

 

"...would you rather leather w/ auto are Cloth w/ 6spd?"

Clearly, MT with 6spd.

But I would prefer an 05 to 03.

keep shopping is the message.

 

Drive a 350Z with a manual transmission.
Drive a 350Z automatic.
Decide which best suits your needs.

 

hmmm really? Because when i do a 50 mile search I can find a butt load towards North Jersey. I live bout 60 miles north of NYC and i would be willing to drive to jersey to get some sweet deals they have down there!


check autotrader out just expand your search area!

 

Welcome shop around. Find a car that you will be happy with long term, not just a few weeks.

 

Seems to be a strong consensus: Shop outside your area and until you get what you are looking for. Do you want to spend a day to pick up a car you will have for years or do you want to rue for years why you didn't spend that day?
You will probably be happy with whatever you get, but you'll still carry that wish around.

 

MTs have turned out to be sub-par in Zeds. On the other hand, Auto Trannies
are w./o. a glitch! Stats testify to that. Added bonus: 274 ft/lbs torque for the AT, vs. 260 (?) in the Manual one, compensating beautifully for it. Only 1
mile less per gallon. Next time you're in city traffic or a traffic jam, you'll re-
member these details. Good luck!

 

The one I looked at today had a DVD drive behind the drivers seat can you watch dvds on the navi screen? Also is this stock or after market?

 

Navigational screen may be stock, but the DVD is definitely after market.
