Default Opinions on this Z please.

Long time lurker but after my rsx-s was written off as a loss by my insurance I wanted to buy my sports car. After test driving a bunch of different ones I still really like the Z convertable the best.

I was looking at this one and was wondering what your guys thoughts are on the price.

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...standard=false


Its an 04 with nav, nismo exhaust and upgrade chrome rims. 50k on the odo for 15k.The guy will knock off a grand if I dont take the rims and the exhaust. From the sound of it the guy took really good care of it. No feathering issues or oil consumption issues. I am wondering what your thoughts are about the price. Edmund's and KBB show the price to be pretty fair. Were going into middle of October and up here in WI the first snowfall is about a month away so I figure its gotta be the best time to buy.

Thanks for looking guys.

Price seems to be pretty fair and the car looks to be in good condition. I would try to knock off at least another 1k.

Have you checked out the private classifieds on here yet? There's a bunch of nice rides for sale.

Edit: This should also be in the Buying/Leasing section.

Looks well cared for to me also. As advised. be sure to inspect the top closely for rips, seam separation, etc. Also, I would buy it as it sits with the wheels, exhaust, etc. Good luck!

Seems like a good one. Price is a bit higher than I would pay for an 04, but not terrible if you consider it already has the Nismo exhaust. Seems like the seller is being pretty upfront and honest, but you'd have to talk to him in person to really know.

Worth checking out.
