difference between 2001 and 2003 z8

I am sorry I sold my 2003 z8 a couple of years ago, so I have been thinking of getting another one. Cant seem to find a pristine low mile manual 2003 model but I found a nice 2001 example. Is there any difference ? Any imporvements in the later models ?

Hi, yes there are some differences and upgrades.
Best place to read about the changes is the Z8 board.

Awesome cars for sure. Mine is a late 02 and according to "da man" the later the better. Most of the 03's were the less desirable Alpina's.
Best of luck with the search, I looked for over a year for the right car.

I agree but that dealership I think is sitting on 5 of them. Id go in there and offer 110 and see what happens.

Maybe you have not driven, spent time in the Z8. Its a wonderful car that is very usable, sounds great and is just stunning to look at. In my poinion,if you spend 110k on a z8 today, it 3 years it will be worth $130, whereas a $110k 360 3 years from now will be worth $80. You can do the math.
