Default To my Dallas Community...MUST sell my 2003 Z

I'm moving to San Fran and therefore must part ways with my beloved Z. This baby has been garaged and hand washed since Day 1. If you are OCD with Z's like I was, this is the perfect car for you.

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.js...g=en&cardist=0

I got the car in October of 2002

So in 2002 I prob did 4,000 miles
Add another say 14,000 miles in 2003
Add another say 14,000 miles in 2004
For 2005, lets add 6,000 miles in 2005

Otherwise, here is a brief summary of my baby:

I also bought the extended warranty (which is transferable)
I have been in no accidents of course
There was a tire feathering problem that has been fixed, car just needed to be realigned
I’ve put Mobil-1 synthetic in her since the beginning
It’s never seen a track
Days that it rains, I usually work from home
On a first date, I passed up a parking spot in front of the restaurant to park her far away so I wouldn’t get any dings (needless to say, the car still loves me and the girl does not)
The window streaking problem has been fixed
The transmission/clutch was replaced under warranty (I think I saw the bill and that alone was $3-4k)

AND real dyno stats on my car:

No one wants a two door coupe with no back seat. "Its a cute car", but its just not practicle. Thats what your average consumer thinks. That and all the negative feedback from sites like this on the 03-04's. Such as tire feathering, etc. All stuff that can be fixed through TSB's from the dealer. I had two 03's one was my father's and ours didnt have any problems.

Another reason is dealers now offer that "family/employee plan" and dealers are getting flooded with used cars.

Try carmax they are fair (depends on market). My father traded in his 03 350Z for a new 05 Maxima at a nissan dealer. At first they wanted to give us less than kbb trade-in and we said hell no. They eventually gave in and gave us kbb which is decent.

Take a look at the used 350's at the dealer and its crazy how cheap you can get the car.

Quick question. Have an issue with the window streaking on an 03'. Is that a TSB fix........more importantly, how did you resolve the issue?

Yeah just take it to the dealer and they will fix it. Get there early enough and you can wait for like an hour and have your car back.
