I just got my bonus from work and found a nice Gcoupe close by.

Its a black Auto with 28k miles, 18" rims. (sport sus. package come on autos in 04?) becuase he said its fully loaded. (hasnt had its 30k service yet tho). It looks to be in very good condition. leather looks showroom.

he wanted 24k. I asked if price was neg. and he said thiers alittle room tp negotiate.

what do you think is a good price for this car?



also. when i go to check it out what should i look for with the 04's ?

thanks, JC.

 

Hold off and get the 6-speed... so you get the joy of driving your car to it's fullest and also you'll get the Brembo brakes and upgraded suspension package built-in.... so long as you stay within the '03 and '04 years.

 

look for an 05 and up the interior is much nicer, only a lil more money

 

^^

yea i know, id love a 05.. but do you tihnk i can find one in my price range?

23-24k ?


as far as the manual goes.. arent they basiclly the same speed? i thought the auto actually did better 1/4 mile.

 

HOW nicer is it? I am looking at an 04 6MT also..

 

The gauges are a deeper orange, the center console uses real aluminum instead of painted, the clock is in a better place next to the ac display and the gear shifter is nicer on the AT, plus its surrounded by leather

 

lol, so would 23.5 be a decent price? or 23k?

 

I'm not recommending the 6MT on behalf of speed, even though it is supposedly slightly quicker than the auto. Having the 6MT just makes owning and driving the car a much more pleasant experience.

Even if you don't know how to drive a manual transmission car yet, it's easy enough to learn and you'll love it once you get the skills down. You'll get better fuel economy too with the 6MT too, if you drive it well.

On top of that.. having the Brembos is like one of the hugest +'s ever.

 

im hesitant to get a manual, my buddys manula 350z has been nothing but problems, and i know the 2 cars are very similar. hes needed a new tranny, clutch, and it still makes horrible clanky noises when he drives it. its only got like 20k miles
