Offered a 350Z for my 3000GT! Needs an Engine though...

DId all the damage it has happen all at once? Did he lose control racing it and over-revved the motor while downshifting into the wrong gear, spun out and jumped a curb? Cause what I am saying is that it could have more damage to other stuff like the suspension, transmission etc. Might cost more then you think to fix if thats the case

I have a feeling there is something......not legit? Just check it out well because this deal sounds pretty good. Your car is very nice though.

[Mike-92RT]

if i were you, i would keep the VR4, save your money for bigger/better things.

[Mike-92RT]

okay, sorry.. Keep the SL.

whats wrong with the SL? lol, you dont need to go super fast... you already have a good looking car, you dont need the 350z to look cooler.

[TwIzTeD_3kGt]

I wouldn't call a 350Z super fast. Especially a stock '03.

I honestly dont like the car as much as yours, however if you can make money on it then go ahead.

I have to say though I cant stand the part about your dad being able to change the engine for free. It still is a suck job whether he is your dad or not. I do all kinds of expensive repairs for friends and family for free so I know what its like on that side. Do your dad a favor and work with him every step of the way. Tell him you will do all the work, all he has to do is tell you what to do.

I do work right beside my dad. I will actually end up doing most the work but he knows the specifics. As far as the z , I have been doing research and they'd have a lot of problems with the 03. however is does not have the "revup" engine which wad known to burn oil. I am going to look at the car tues and will know more. the title is clear. as far as my car I love it, I just want more HP and if all went well this would work. but like you said a cracked wheel and blown engine means something on the previous owner . should I offer straight up trade if it
s bad or no. I mean a z has more resale in the long run than I'm ever going to get in my s

typed on my cell so excuse the grammar and capitalizationl.

Well look at it first, and if it looks like a good deal, then go with it, if it was me, I would tell him straight trade. Then I would fix the Z, sell it and buy a new 3S

Will do, I will post better pics and things once I go and look at it.

While I know I'm dating myself posting this, my first car was a V8 Vega that I built myself. I loved that car, and was very proud of it. But when the opportunity came up to trade it straight across for a 70 SS 396 Chevelle with a blown motor, I jumped at the chance... The difference in value was just too much to pass up.

I don't like 350Z's at all... But the math says you'd be an idiot not to trade if the car can be brought back from the dead with a small investment. If you get it running and saleable, you can get enough out of it to get yourself a nice 2nd gen VR4, and have cash left over...

Exactly, If i do not like the Z or even if I do, I can just sell it and make that profit to buy that 94 vr4 I have always wanted. My economics professor would kick my a** if I didnt make a smart financial decision such as this. My concern is like i said before "why". If it needs the things listed (a engine and rim) and it works fine great! What if it needs a trans now....I mean thats what concerns me. I wish I could go over things such as this when I see it but there is no way of testing that without starting it.

Just KBB it: In fair condition it is $9,850. There was not option for poor.

There's so much hating on the Z's . I'm a little bit biased I suppose, but I say you should go for it. Once you get it fixed it'll be a good car. Z's are very reliable even the 03's which is what I have so I wouldn't worry about that too much. And like everyone else said you can still turn around and sell it for more than your SL anyways.
