Default Looking to be a NEW Z OWNER!

Whats up everyone? I have always wanted a Z. Probably just like everyone else here. I have been into DSM's for a while now and trying to get out. Tired of wasting the money in them and always breaking. I am looking for an 03-04 due to limited budget. Really can't spend over $11k. Will be making payments of course so trying to sell my DSM first so the payments will be significantly less.

I am interested in the touring model of the track model. Touring model seems to be the majority of what everyone has. It is nice with the leather and bose. I really like the track for the brembos and the wheels. Anybody else have any pros or cons?

I live near Nashville, TN and search craigslist almost hourly for a hot deal to pop up. If anyone can help me out that would be awesome! Thanks

what would you consider medium amount of miles? Only ones I have seen for 9k are around 120k. I want one with around 70k-80k. There is a track model for sell at a local dealership for $11.5k. I have never bought from a dealership before so I'm not sure how much you can haggle with them. It is silver too. I really don't want a silver one because it seems like I see those everywhere. I am just trying not to settle this time. I have a hard time being patient.

Either way, just get a Z and you won't regret it. I had an '04 Base Z and a '97 GS-T Eclipse at the same time at one point, and there was no comparison. I would look for an Enthusiast model as they have LSD and cruise control.

I might have found one I really like. I didn't really want silver but I think this is a very good deal. It is an 03 track edition with 66k asking $11995. I'm sure I can talk them down some. Here is the link http://nashville.craigslist.org/ctd/1879274294.html

No big deal. You have 90 days to get a 350Z or this thread will be deleted.

BTW more that half of all 350Zs are silver. So that will limit your choices. Be patient. Get the color that you want.

I also found a black 03 local with a cf hood, greddy exhaust, intake, kinetix intake manifold and some nice black 19's with a red life. Touring model with 53k miles. Nismo front. He said I can have it for $12k. I really want it but need to get a little bit more cash.

^^ That car has low miles for an 03. I personally prefer stock cars when buying used, but that particular one seems to be modded tastefully.
