2008 350z Nismo

Hey everyone I've been searching for a nice evo 9 for sometime but anything i find in my budget has been modded to hell or has higher mileage than I'd like. I've always been a fan of Nissan and the Z's especially the z32 tt but i have found a 08 nismo 350z with 22,000 miles asking for 25 grand. what do you guys think? what should a counter offer be? any thoughts are welcomed

that was what i was thinking but i did notice the original nismo badge on the rear is replaced with the nismo badge that has the red "O". its from a dealership so i was wondering what else may have been replaced... so maybe thinking about offering 20k with my AAA discount.

Can you give us a link of the Nismo 350Z for sale? So we can look at the pictures and have more to discuss with you.

I think a Nismo 350Z is a good car to go. It is slower than Evo 9, but it gives you purer driving experience and therefore you improve faster as a driver in a Nismo 350Z.


A quick search on Cars indicates that there are many Nismo 350Zs for sale right now:

The only two things to make sure are:
1) It is truly a Nismo, not a base 350Z with a Nismo body kit;
2) It has not been abused.

make sure it has the brembos, 6 speed manual and nismo body kit. Maybe that badge was replaced only because it looks better

Here's the link: http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-s...gIndex=1&Log=0

I called the other day and they still have it and it has a clean title. It is an original Nismo

This NISMO looks legit.

Go take a look at the car and, if everything seems to be in place, take the car to a Nissan dealership for a full diagnosis, which normally costs you $100~$300. That will tell you what needs to be fixed and therefore, what counter offer you should make.
