Red Sky II Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Ignoring pricing, timing, mileage (both okay), what would in your opinion be the better buy: 2004 350GT Sedan (upgrade model) with cloth seats, dual zone air, 5sp auto, Nissan stereo (ie not a Bose upgrade version) with steering wheel controls, VDU, 17" wheels but does not have the Bose package or leather OR 2003 300GT Sedan Premium model with half leather/suede seats, Bose audio, 5sp auto, 18" wheels I am leaning towards the 350GT due to engine specs and it is newer notwithstanding the lower spec features. How much difference is there between the Bose package and the non-Bose package - given I am not an audiophile I currently own a 98 Stagea and had a 96 Skyline before that (seem to have a thing for Series II Models) Cheers Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/268969-choice-350gt-base-model-or-300gt-premium/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannyw Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 newer = win? me too but it still depends, bose = more money to spend if u lookin at future modding/upgrade. but mayb like me, i do love to have the leather seat? but hot in summer.. the half leather is good to avoid the driver sliding around if going track? blab bbbllabbb... too much to think on..

Red Sky II Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 It seems to be mainly the Bose system that is missing plus some of the other options Will have a listen to the stereo system and if it sounds okay then that solves that one Not too fussed on leather seats Had heard there were issues with the VQ30DD engine so the VQ35DE seems more reliable Was told that having come from an R33 and Stagea that I would be disappointed with the 300 in comparison performance wise Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/268969-choice-350gt-base-model-or-300gt-premium/#findComment-4582380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
n15m0 Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 I've got both. The 350 definately has more poke than the 300. Got the 300 for the wife as its more a cruiser, still a nice car to drive. Regardsless of Bose I'd still prefer the 350gt anyday. Shop around, the 350 sedans have dropped in price by a fair bit. Source a Series 2 which has the aluminium center console and bose CD/MD instead of CD/Tape. Should be able to pick one up for around 25k or less nowadays.
