Default New Z in Chicago

So I stopped my Martin Nissan today hoping to look at some 370z's when a Daytona Blue '03 350z caught my eye from under the snow.

A touring model, she only had 18,000 miles and the cleanest CarFax/Maintanence report I've ever seen.. After some unexpected, early morning negotiations, I am now the proud owner.

Just about $13000 out the door. A steal.

Can't wait to post pics!

- Mike

Yess, nice find! Z in a Chicago winter poses some issues. May want to get some special tires or find a place to store for the next four months! Chicago has a great Z Club you may want to join! PICs would be great! Welcome!

The Z is going to end up being my DD at one point or another, but for now I can still abuse my old Mazda Protege. Hopefully we'll get some dry weeks here in Chicago so I can take the Z out for a bit; I don't quite have the cash to afford some winter tires.

Looks like it's in pretty good condition. IIRC, those are not Touring wheels. At least from what I can tell from the pic. No big deal since I'm sure you'll eventually want new wheels.

My bad, I keep forgetting about the auto tranny Touring.

If it comes with a leather interior, VDC, 6 disc Bose system, yada yada yada.... then I guess it qualifies as a Touring.
