Maybe buying my first 350z, need insight!
http://tampa.craigslist.org/hil/cto/5761824294.html
2006 350z 6MT, 01/06 build date and redline at 7k rpm so Rev-up? I owned an 06 5AT G35 (70k miles no problems) so I have some knowledge of the VQ35DE.
That being said, are there any issues I should look for? The seller said he'll take $6k cash, does that sound reasonable? I ran an autocheck and it came back clean, 3 owners.
Thanks!

Why is it the riskiest? Because of the oil consumption issue on 6MT revups?

You're right about the trans. Mine is a 6MT and it sucks in traffic on I275, but I don't find myself in traffic often. Yes, the oil consumption is a real issue, but not all '06 cars have it. Buying from an honest private seller would be a nice, but rare, circumstance.

I bought a 06/MT
When new it did burn oil - Nissan replaced the engine under warranty
The owner lived in the country and commuted to the city
It had 250,000km on the clock when I bought it - engine in great condition
The owner was fastidious, changed the oil every 5,000km, service stamps all over the inside and outside of the owners service book
The transmission was well worn and loose

I wouldn't really want an automatic, and im guessing the resale on one is a little more difficult as well. Thats a nicer model car and brickyard is the best factory color IMHO... It's got the sweet steering wheel controls...
I love how they mention almost nothing about the car but say new window motors and door handles... Sooo awesome you fixed the **** that always breaks recently... Does it come with tires and wheels too... Awesomeness
And that always try and sugar coat the automatic...

What I find interesting - but not at all unusual - is that A/T cars tend to seemingly be less thrashed. It's the demographic of the original buyer it seems. See that a LOT with Z/G cars.

gotta say- i bought an 05 touring AT- sure i love a MT -however- - when i first saw and then bought the car almost a year ago, it was a 1 owner, each and every scheduled maint done at correct intervals at same dealership where it was originally sold, absolutely no mods done. then after buying it- pretty much determined it was a red headed female that wore a jangly bracelet on her right wrist,who could not wait to change the song on the radio, and had long hair, that owned it. oh yeah- there was curb rash to the wheels, and some minor damage to nose -either from her pulling in to close or another bad parker.
so yeah- you are correct in saying that AT vs MT can make a difference.
(cuz i looked at quite a few MTs here first- and they had alsorts of in your face issues going on....)
