Wow 7 owners on a 03? Seems a lil crazy until i saw the car fax. Looks like first couple people couldnt afford to pay the payments or they traded up. After that next owner kept it for a while. Only strange one is the 5th owner which kept it only 4 months. But you never know people different situations. But who knows, maybe the motor burns oil like crazy. Just make sure you inspect it well. Only down fall i see is when it comes time for you to sell it to the whooping 9th Owner.

And yeah looks like the monterey park 350z as the carfax has last owner in MP

When something is too good to be true you should know there's always something behind it

Ive checked this car out in person, its a POS. Its been repainted and guranteed its been in an accident. The liftgate doesnt line up with the body of the car and there are areas were the paint looks very dull. The owner doesn't know too much about the parts that are on the car or the history.

Hey man I bought an 03 a while back for cheap. Had it looked over everything seemed fine. The owner only had it for like a couple of months. After having the car for like 3 month I realized why. The motor was shot and was burning oil like crazy. Couple of g's later I dropped a new motor in it. So I would say take your time there are plenty of these things out there looking for owners.
