Hello everyone!
new guy in the forum. I'm currently looking for a 350z to add up to my garage. It's been incredibly hard to find, I mean, so far I've found 0 vehicles in the US that fulfill the following specs?

- clean title
- relatively low mileage (ideally under 80K)
- stock or reversibly modded
- without the interior destroyed
- 6 speed

I'm not even listing the color preference (grey, white or orange would be nice) or things like leather interior. It's been virtually impossible to find a unit that's not destroyed or heavily modified.

I've checked the marketplace here and same thing, no luck. Craigslist, car gurus... if you guys know of any good unit please send it my way.

Oh, I did see a stock 08' Black Pearl 6MT for like $14K the other week with 46K miles in the LA area. Granted it was on Craigslist, and at that condition. It must have been sold fast.

I'll take another look around, but since you made no mention of a year specific or price range.

Also, welcome to the forum.

PS - That's a nice car collection. I reckon the BMW is your daily out of the three?

That's because I just bought the last one, even better than those specs....

But naw, they're out there. Many of them. You just need to keep looking and being patient. What I find is a weird coincidence where there will be NONE for a period then all of a sudden (or right after I've bought something), there'll be tons of good cars on the market.

You have to check your usual sources EVERY day if you're serious. Cars.com, CL, EBay, etc. There is one just about to jump out at you.

Thanks man,
Nah, the M3 is track ready so not that great as a daily. I actually have more cars but they don't fit on the signature for some reason (Do I need to pay for membership to do so?).
Anyways I'll take another look at craigslist, I'm avoiding black and red cars if I can.
Regarding years, the latest the better, right? I'm a bit flexible as long as the unit is in one piece.

Blacks are very nice if you put in the labor and love to keep it clean.
+1, Would recommend staying away from the cop-magnet, Red.

Although, I did have to check car sites bi-daily for about 6 or more months before finding my Z. Although, not "exact" but I couldn't be too picky now. Also had a budget to work with.

I'm sure you'll find something. Well if I'm honest, the interior of the Z in 2006 - 2008 are nicer IMO. Although the interior gets scratched up if not cared for, not a problem for the older Z. The 2007-2008 have the HR motor and a nice gearbox for the 6MT. The 2009 are convertible only.

Also, I do think you have to be a paying member to have more in your signature. I paid $30 for a year. You get this shiny badge next to your name.
Cars.com, Autotraders.com, Craigslist, cargurus, eBay ( ) this forum, tried the other 350Z forums?

I found my mag black ZR on AutoTrader. If you're not the patient type consider a 370. I lil heavier, a few more cc's, final drive is 3.69 for mt.
Gl!

zwei_the_c

The 370Z is a little lighter. I think you mistype that.

adhesivo

Yeah, it looks like if I was looking for 370z the search would be much easier. Definitely I'm trying to stay away from Black cars.
Quick question:
in the current 370, you cannot choose leather seats and sport package, was is the same with the 350? I would love to get those orange leather seats but I definitely want the LSD and big breaks.

Troll.

???

I've never been pulled over in mine because I don't drive like an idiot.

I have had cops pull in at gas stations (twice) to tell me that they love the car and to ask if I'd sell it.

zakmartin

Just ignore the idiots.

Atreyu'z 350

Check out the 2006 - 2008 Grand Touring models. They came with orange/black or black leather seats, plus they'll have the LSD and Brembo brakes.

adhesivo

Thanks for the tip!
It's so confusing with all the model versions they made. Is that the revised engine?

zakmartin

2007 and 2008 have the revised HR engine. 2006 introduced the interior trim upgrade and moderate engine improvements on the DE platform.

Atreyu'z 350

No problem. Some more reading material.

Idiots? Am I the other idiot?

To OP: So far, haven't found any 2007-2008 in the requested spec so far.

zakmartin

zwei - no, you're the rubber woman.
