Hey guys.. id like ure advice..

i found an 03 350z with 50k in that sweet blue color scheme for 9.5k... has exhasut and intake.. it looks to be the base base model.. no bose no leather..

it needs to have the synchros replaced as its got the infamous grind.. apparently my uncle did on an 04 with the 5th gear syncrho and the car is fine now..

so for about 10k is it worth to buy an 03 with 50k... clean title with one prior accident at about 25k.. hes willing to go to 9.5 but i might offer him 9k cash..

what do u guys think.. anything else i should worry about? -thanks

 

look for another one

 

tranny takes like an hour to do.. get one for around 400$ from LKQ, a used one. Just make sure its a cd0009 from a 05-06

 

with that low of miles the stealership might still warranty it...I'd get with them first! they might do it for free. Got mine done on my 03 twice for free...but mine was the bearing on the input shaft....

 

what do u mean warranty it? even with the manufacture warranty expired?

r u meaning like a recall type deal or?

 

i think it was recall or something along that line...

I had mine done last year and with more miles ~70,000. Don't know if yours will fall in it. Just get the VIN and swing by the dealership. They warrantied mine for the synchro;s

Also next time your around the car put it in neutral and let it run and listen for a grinding sound with the clutch engaged (not pushed in). If so it's a bearing in the tranni. I got the second one warrantied for that.

 

2003 Base with a bad transmission? Pass.

 

so he raped the car. pass......... even tho a new trans runs for 1700
