Default New Texas Owner :D

I have been reading on this forum for a few months now and thought I should finally post something.

I bought an '03 LeMans 350z Touring about 2 months ago and absolutely love her! she just hit 20k miles over the weekend.

I have always been a fan of the 350z, but in all honesty i wasn't really in the market for one specifically. I just happened to find her on auto trader and couldn't pass up the deal.

As far as mods go i don't plan on going to crazy. I bought an AAM single exhaust from Seelz a few weeks back and it is awesome!

Peace!
Goudy

Welcome and congrats!

I also have a 2003 Touring and absolutely love it. I bought it with 45,000 miles almost 2 years ago. Now it has 54,000 and still no problems.

Hopefully you have such a great find like myself and others. Enjoy!

In all honesty I am not sure. The front tires Goodyear Pilot Sport i believe, with very little tread wear so it may have been fixed after the the previous owner noticed the issue. keep in mind the back tires are original and don't need to be replaced yet.

Before i bought the car i had my friend who owns a body shop inspect the car from front to back and everywhere in between. The only real issue he found was the y-pipe had been scraped.

Correct me if i am wrong, but is it easily fixed with the annual alignment?

I honestly don't know to be honest with you. I would align like every 6 months and within 2 years I went through about 12 tires, kid you not so mine probably had some other issues because it was ridiculous but I also never bought a new pair of tires. I would get them used for about 60 a piece so it wasn't that big of a deal but I wonder how quickly I would've feathered a brand new tire... But anyways congrats on the find, that car must've been babied. He probably went through a really steep incline once hence the scrape but that low of miles for an 03 is awesome. Post some pics!
