7th gen gone. New ride. Pics.

Sold my 2003 Civic EX Auto with 46000 miles for $13,200.

Just got my new ride last week from a private owner. Paid $23,000.







2003 Nissan 350Z. 6 speed manual, leather, NISMO cold air intake, factory DVD, 24k miles.

Nothing like a rear-wheel drive 287 horsepower sports car.

this forum has been fun, but i seem to be getting more addicted to my350z.com.

That is extremely cheap, what is your checklist when you buy from private owners?

You guys are all basically ripping this guy a new *******. If this guy likes the 350, then let him like it. There will always be someone with something faster/better than you. Its all about your own personality and taste. Take for instance my car, i bet i paid a fifth of what most of you paid, and i could take a lot of you. But that doesn't even matter, because its what i like. Congrats on the Z man. They're all just jealous.

lol i appriciate you stickin up for me man. thanks!

but i dont care if no one else likes it. i like it. i've loved this car since i first saw one on the road.

orion_squall, appartlently the owner before this had kids and it was getting fustrating with a two seater for a family. he owed $23,000 on it, so thats what he sold it for. The major things i was lookin for when buying from a private owner was that the carfax was clean, car looked sounded and rode mint, low mileage, no overspray or paint wrinkles or dents.

this car was like a dream come true, and couldnt turn down that offer. i was gonna go through carmax and get a base model Z, but they had base models listed as the same price for this Touring Edition.

Ok, Carfax + a father owner does the trick.

There is no doubt 350Z shows certain prestige that something like GM GTO can't give and you got yourself a super deal. I think it is a super car which is just right below G35 because of brand name, whoever was bashing you had no idea what he was talking about.

like i said, i dont care what any one says, i love the car!

the interior is taking a little bit of getting used to compared to the brushed aluminum dash kit i had on my civic, but doesnt bother me to much.

I was torn between the G35 and the Z, and i fell in love with the Z a little more. it was more sporty than the G, weighs a lot less, has more torque, and i never really owned a two seater before. oh yeah, and about 6k cheaper than a moderate G35

i couldnt be happier with it. the power on this thing is unbelievable. i'm so used to my automatic civic FW drive, that i took a coner and gave it gas and the rear end fish-tailed. i need to learn how to control all this power lol.

i was thinking about gettin it turbo'ed, but the turbo kits are like $6000. maybe i'll supercharge it in a year or so, when the warranty is up.

for now, i'll do some bolt-ons... since this car actually feels the gains with bolt-ons
