Cool Soon to be Z owner......

I've got 2 Z's in mind but having trouble making the final decision. I've been researching these cars for a couple months. Thought you guys might offer some advice/thoughts....

2003 Touring model 15,000 miles, alignment issue taken car of, new tires, mint condition, silver


2004 Touring model...50,000 miles, no issues, grey, new brakes, decent tires

Both about the same price with the 2003 a little higher due to low miles. Both in excellent condition.

Any input from you guys...?

Would appreciate any advice you could give.

They are both identical cars except for the unbelievable low miles on the 03.
Whats the asking price?What does "a little higher" on the 03 mean?
Colors are similar.I take it that the grey color is silverstone.
Both 6MT or 5AT?The 03 new tires,what kind?
There were some improvements with the 2004.5 models.Is this a late model?
Since both are Touring,they have leather.Color..black,frost,burnt orange?
I'd prolly go for the 03 if it was priced around 15k max.However,prices in Z's
vary widely by the area of the country.In your area,there should be a good supply.
Not so in the north especially,MN&WI.
Good luck...lets us know your selection!

He was asking 16k and I talked him down to 15k for the 03. It was his wife's car so not driven alot. Black leather interior. Not sure what brand of tire but wider on back than front. 6MT....felt real smooth.
I wasn't sure if the 2004 was a later model or not but it was clean too. I browsed alot of cars and for the most part, 03's were going for 12-14k with 70k+ miles. I figured an extra 1000 was probably worth it for the mileage.
Thnks for the input. I'm leaning towards the 03.

the 03 with the low miles sounds like the better choice
