Honestly I just don't understand some people. Why on earth would you buy a black one? 
I hope you have much enjoyment from your new ride. I changed the valve springs on my 03, just thought it was cheaper than buying a new motor. Mine has 13K on it, don't drive it much but I love the car.
Best of Luck.

Between fixing up the Evo and buying this, I'm tight on cash. Ugh. But it does make sense to do it.
Thank you for the kind words!

Congrats on a beautiful car and a beautiful lady. Hope you get many trouble free miles from the car.

Very nice, very similar to mine (apart form black wheels). Have fun driving and modding.
The Lancer, yikes... smart move away from that IMO.

Welcome to the site and great find on the Z. The moment you step on the gas and get used to the power expect your wallet to get quite a bit lighter. Check the C5Z section for info on the valvesprings. I can't remember off the top of my head, but I'm pretty sure the 02's and early 03's are most proned to failure.
