How about the 2003 nissan Z?

Going blindly to look at one on Saturday? Anyone have one? I've never driven one. I am expecting it to feel heavy. Car is a standard. Body has approx. 170k, motor about 45k. Asking $4,600 OBO. It is a pretty car. Any known big issues? What should I expect?

Thanks to everyone who answered my question about the other car earlier.

Thanks,
David

All your answers are probably here: The 350Z/G35 never seems to appear on enthusiasts' radar screens.

Motor is the same thats in my Infiniti m35..about 280hp..its enough to get the 4500lb car moving fairly well...the z is about 1000lbs lighter so my guess its feels lighter then mine..haha..my car has roughly 160000 miles on it and no issues so far...I know it's not a z but gives you an idea of mechanical reliability...steve

I've been kicking around the idea of buying a 350z for a track toy. 3200lbs and you can get a pretty easy 260-270hp at the wheels. Watch out for problems shifting into 3rd gear. They rust as well so just look it over good. Fun car to drive
