NT, which car would you choose?

350z vs G35 vs 3-series

Im looking to buy a used car in the 10 to 20k range and Ive narrowed it down to these 3 cars. Anybody ever own one of these and want to share theirexperiences? or does anybody have any other suggestions? I actually got the idea about the 350z from another thread on NT, I didnt know they sold so low, soprops to NT general for coming through on that one

I assume you mean the G35 coupe and not the sedan?

If it's an E46 323, 325, or 328..I'd go with the G35. If it's a 330..I may consider it.

Years?
Which G35?

 

[infamousod]

my friend just got a used G35. sweeeet ride. I am biased towards Japanese cars if you can't afford potentially expensive repairs (bad personal experience).

 

[curiousgeorg3]

years for the 350z and G35 would be from 2003 until the last year before they re uped the models

3-series would be the e46

and all would be preferably coupes and manual

G35

G35 is

. I would get that just because of how stylish it looks. I dont really know all the specs about it though

 

[nikeairsncrispytees]

Ride on the 350Z is

Light clutch, too.

seconded.

also, if it's your only car, skip the 350. no backseat is a pain in the... yeah. don't do it.

G35

if you happen to see a good deal on a TL while you're shopping cars don't pass it up.

 

[queensfinest101]

G35's are garbage.

get the 3 series or the 350z , even an rx-8 would be good.

im considering roadsters for around that price range.

Z4, S2K , 350z convertible , TT or boxster are my choices lool

 

[carbonsilver]

350z

They are 3 different cars.

What are you looking for in a CAR should be the better question, than from there we can suggest if one of those 3 fit your criteria.

looking for something sporty and stylish basically, luxury would be a plus. I dont carry too much stuff with me or ride with a lot of passengers so Im lookingto get a coupe.

whens the best time to buy a used car? do prices start to climb back up in the summer? should I wait till the winter? I could buy right now, but I want to waittill at least summer when the semesters over.

 

[mexicansoul]

used bmws are boo boo. even the certified ones spend a lot of time getting serviced. G35s are pricey, even used, so go with the Z...but the do guzzle gasmayne.

 

[hollakid619]

G35 would be the best choice. It has the styling of the 350z plus you'll have a back seat and a trunk. I was at the Nissan dealership the other day with afriend of mine and sat in a 350z. Theres no space for nothing, you can barely sit down your phone and ipod. The 3 series in a decent looking car but the 4-dris pretty small. G-coupe FTW

 

[jrdnsrnss]

I'm kind of in the same boat. Except my choices are the 350Z, S2000, or 05-07 Mustang GT. I wanted a 330Ci coupe but i DO NOT want to deal with German carmaintenance costs. Mustang will be the cheapest to maintain and gas wise either way all aren't that great but a slight nod to the Mustang. S2000 and 350Zneed premium while the Stang was built for 87 octane, fairly close MPG for all three.
