dont trust the decoder. look at the trim, it states G so this is prob a grand touring, not to mention 35th have a bronze ring around the z on the fender, this one does not have it

there is no trim notation in the 350Z VIN sequence. also there is no K anywhere in a 350Z sequence at all.

From a Dealer Operations Manager, Central Texas, Nissan North America. "Production reports indicate there have been 678 Anniversary Zs produced starting 12/04/04 to date (10/07/05). Numbers are: 188 silverstone, 231 yellow, and 259 were black. When comparing the Anniversary VIN Prefix to a regular Z, there is no difference. The trim code ( AE) is the only way to distinguish an Anniverary 350Z from regular production".
fugger wont let me post link since its another z forum

Did the OP buy either car? I may put my 05 up with many more upgrades than either of the cars the OP found. I would imagine that mine would be a lot cheaper as well. I am in PA so I am semi-close, if you are interested OP send me a PM

Thanks for the clarification... I thought the decoder was the gospel, apparently its just as full of stories.

My car doesn't have any cool stickers on my door jamb... You dont get them when the PO used it as a bumper car...

DWA you know what I'm sayen haha

Kidding kidding if you actually do

I had the exact same car before the 05 I have now. I had one of the 1st 2003's in my area and sold that in 2005 when I built my first house.

In 2006 my wife got to the point of frustration with me and told me to get another one so I would stop complaining about getting rid of the 2003. I found the exact same car as my 03 in Austin TX, 2005 Daytona Blue, Touring with Black Interior with 13k miles. I have had the 2nd car for a little over 10 years.

Within the past 18 months I just got my wife and I each new Dailys.

Now we are closing on our second house this Tuesday and since my wife waned the new house our compromise was I could sell the 350 and get a GTR. Can't argue with that deal! I will post up some house pics next week and in a few months a new GTR

The 08 was sold when I went to look at it, and I decided against the 05. I wound up getting a different 08 with 64K miles. I'm also pretty sure one of the previous owners was on this forum at some point since I can still see the remnants of an old my350Z.com sticker in the quarter panel window, lol. I'll post pics when I take some.

It only had one payment left, then it would've been paid off, but since lost the house, the car went too...sucked azz. I built the car to the point i was about to put 110 into it. Then would've put cams into it. But yea..

There was nothing i can do, never knew they took it, they just one day took it out of the garage without anybody knowing, not even the dog heard them.. It's what happens when you lose a job, and no ones willing to hire or answer back to you.. But now i got a good paying job again, got a place again, and got a new car, this ones not going to be repoed this time, and now soon going to get me a Z.

Congrats on the purchase of your '08 Z. It may have been neither of the two you originally mentioned, but your happiness with what you've bought is the main thing. Enjoy.
