Well guys ive been looking through alot of threads and info most of the afternoon. I have two diesel trucks and an integra and have been reading up on here about the 350z I am a mechanic myself and do all my own work. Heres the deal my bro has a PT Crapper that my parents gave him and its junk and he needs to get rid of it lol. A guy I work with has a 03 350z Touring, blue 97k miles, HIDS, 20" wheels, DVD player, 6spd. He keeps it well maintains and its a great looking car. Hes wanting around $10k for it and from the craiglist research and from the research ive done on here it looks like a good price, but what do yall think.

Thanks

Sorta hard for us to say without pics of its condition, video with sound of driveby for engine/tranny/clutch/suspension sounds, maintenance records, current alignment specs, pics of tire wear, blackstone oil test results, car fax details, etc.

If I were you, I'd check those types of things. If you want our advice take pics and videos and gather your info. That's the type of stuff that would help people make a recommendation. If the car's been taken care of and all looks good, that's probably a good deal - but if it's been dogged out by some teenager that street races it and dumps the clutch all of the time, it may not be a good deal.

If you're confident that it's been taken care of, it has a clean carfax, and passes a basic tech inspection by a mechanic, it sounds good to me.
