2004 nissan 350z roadster for sale by owner - Erie, CO - craigslist (2024)

The car was registered in Colorado in October of 2010, reportedly taking several cross-country tours back to Maryland prior to permanently relocating to Colorado in June 2014, where it was issued a Colorado title with a stated 20,403 miles. The second owner kept the car until February of 2018, where it was traded in for a new ride at Rickenbaugh INFINITI in Dacono, CO, then showing 23,804 miles.

The car's third owner purchased the car in approx April 2018, where it remained in Westminster, CO until I purchased the car in July 2021. The Z showed 27,967 miles at the time of my purchase, meaning Owner #3 kept the car for 3 years and 4,163 miles (1,388 miles/year).

The 350Z now shows 33,823 miles and is offered with the window sticker from Rickenbaugh INFINITI, the owner’s manual, 2004 Nissan 350z e-brochure, service records, the CARFAX report provided by Rickenbaugh INFINITI at the time of Owner #3’s purchase, and a clean Colorado title in my name.

The Touring Roadsters is finished in Chrome Silver Metallic over Black perforated leather seats, and is powered by a 3.5-liter V6 mated to a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential. OEM equipment includes a black soft top, High Intensity Discharge (HID) xenon headlights, optional 18x10 six-spoke aluminum-alloy wheels (included in the sale w/lugnuts), heated power-adjustable seats, optional 240-watt digital Bose® audio system with AM/FM/cassette/in-dash 6-CD changer and seven speakers and 10" subwoofer, cruise control, Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC; i.e. stability control), Z-embroidered carpeted trunk mat, and automatic climate control.

The OEM wheels were replaced in July 2021 with a set of staggered 18” bronze Avid.1 AV06 wheels (Volk TE37 replicas), having 9.5” wide wheels up front (+24 offset) and 10.5” wheels out back (+22 offset). The offsetting equates to the wheels maintaining the OEM specs for the suspension, with the result being superior handling from the larger footprint. The wheels are shod in sticky Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires, with 255/40R18 up front and 275/40R18 out back, with the entire package having less than 5k miles, providing superb grip, and being in as-new, damage-free condition.

In March 2022 I replaced front/rear brakes, installing new pads/rotors at all four (4) corners (receipts available/included).

The car is finished in Chrome Silver Metallic (KY0) and exterior features include a black soft top, xenon headlights, power-adjustable mirrors, dual exhaust outlets, and “Z” fender badges. The soft top is in excellent condition, entirely free of damage/tears and showing virtually no signs of wear. The factory headlight lenses are also in fantastic condition, free of damage or yellowing. The paint is what you’d expect from a car with only 33k miles, showing some rock chips on the leading edge of the front fascia, particularly below the cooling ducts, with all being shown in the photos in the photo gallery. The overwhelming majority of the paint is in wonderful condition, as the previous owner had a ceramic coating applied to the surface, which has held up beautifully. The windshield has a fairly extensive crack at the far-right (passenger) side of the windscreen, which has been there since I purchased the car. I originally intended to replace it, but as it is the OEM glass and doesn’t in any way inhibit the driver’s view, I ultimately elected not to.

The cabin features heated power-adjustable seats upholstered in Black perforated leather and do exhibit some signs of use/wear, with scratches in the leather being apparent primarily on the bottom seat cushion for the driver, but otherwise in fine shape (no rips/tears). The original Bose head unit has been removed (included in the sale) and has been replaced with a Pioneer MVH-1400NEX Multimedia Digital Media Receiver, featuring a 6.2” touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay, and Bluetooth. The Z is equipped with a leather-trimmed shift knob, aluminum pedals, cruise control, and automatic climate control. The center console storage door and center stack do show scratches (see photos) and the the cubby door is broken, no longer being connected to the hinges; the door comes off completely, but still locks in place with the original mechanism (imo it is less of an annoyance than it sounds and has never come off unintentionally).

The three-spoke leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts a central 7,500k-rpm tachometer flanked by a 160-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Additional instrumentation including a digital multi-function trip computer, as well as gauges for oil pressure and voltage, are mounted atop the center stack, all working properly and free of dead pixels. The six-digit odometer shows 33,823 miles at the time of this listing, but might go up slightly depending on how long the car remains for sale.

The 24-valve 3.5-liter VQ35DE V6 was factory rated at 287 horsepower and 274 lb-ft of torque and features no modifications, with the engine bay housing an OEM strut-tower brace. The battery was replaced just prior to my ownership and the last oil change was at 29,689 miles using Mobil 1 0W-40 fully synthetic oil. Power is routed to the rear wheels (RWD) through a six-speed manual transmission and a limited-slip differential.

Upgrades/modifications are minimal and include an aftermarket anti-theft deterrent system (disables ignition; installed by previous owner), two (2) Nismo license plate frames, upgraded interior lighting consisting of Cool White light emitting diodes (LEDs), an APPS2Car Parking Brake Bypass Video in Motion Interface for the Pioneer MVH-1400NEX (allows videos to be played while the car is in motion), and a genuine Honda S2000 antenna replacing the much, much longer OEM Nissan antenna (included in the sale).

The included CARFAX shows no accidents or damage reported. I’m happy to send a scanned copy of the CARFAX, used car window sticker, and/or original 2004 Nissan 350z e-brochure upon request.

DISCLAIMER: I am not interested in trades nor do I require assistance with the sale of the car. All inquiries should include a contact number for the potential buyer, as this greatly reduces the number of scammers wasting time. In lieu of a phone number, you may state your preference in lead singer for the legendary rock band Van Halen; there is no wrong answer other than the obvious one.
