Hey guys i have been browsing around on here for awhile and waiting the chance to get a 350z. I am currently looking at a 2004 with 48k miles on it. the guy wants 12.5 for it which seems like a good deal, just he is in indiana. Anyways its an older guy so im hoping the clutch wont need replaced anytime soon. Good deal or keep looking?

As far as performance for the 350, what is a decent mod to do. Looking to stay with a stock look, but i know there are many types of tuning softwares guys run in their cars. Also i know bolt-on's supposively dont add to much power from what ive been reading. Just curious and trying to get some insight. Thanks

Dude there's a ton of bolt-on's and quite a few different tuning options out there. All you gotta do is look in the right place. There's a plethora of information on this forum. Good luck with your purchase.

I wasn't looking for a member. I simply stated i was new to the site and about to get a 350z, so welcome!

I wish i could find one for around 12 in Missouri with less then 80k miles. Verydifficult to find, all dealers want 19-22k for 03-04's with 80k miles on it. Its rediculous, if anybody knows someone selling near the St. Louis area or surrounding states, please let me know and ill jump all over it. But again looking right around 12,000.

I live in STL and there are a ton of Z's around here for sale, I highly recommend getting on craigslist and searching for them around here. Here is one I found just within a few minutes. I'm sure you could talk him down to 12-something.

There be one available in Kansas City. The owner was putting feelers out on it.
If I recall correctly it's a Redline 2004 Enthusiast(?), 77k miles, MT.
She was thinking of asking somewhere around $10,000.

I found one i like lol i stated that in my first post. Jease guys need to relax haha I said i found one for 12.5 with 50k miles on it and wanted to know if that a good deal. By the way it is a 2004 then i stated it seemed like a pretty good deal considering dealerships want 18-20k for the same car. I have searched and have looked at every car on CL and tried talking some down. Only one i didnt look at is this on, anyways i found one i like. Just waiting on the guy to clean it up and let me know when i can pick it up.

If you're near St. Louis it's only like 4 hours give or take to Indianapolis, i've driven it quite a few times and I def. think it's a fair distance to at least drive over and see what the car is like. For anything performance I would go to www.gtmotorsports.com they've got alot of quality products.
