Hi there all. I'm currently looking into getting another Z. I'm gonna go for a 2003 Z, because i'm getting it for a steal. Just wanted to know what i should be looking for in it. I know the basics such as rust, dents, signs of an accident, good clean oil. But are there any particular things about the 03 that i should be wary of? Any help would be great, thaks!!

 

- feathering on the front tires
- grease streaks on the inside of the windows
- clicking from rear axles when starting/stopping
- leaky fuel filler hose
- dying window motors
- rock chips (pretty much unavoidable)
- clouded up headlights
- premature wear on the bolster of the drivers side seat (if its cloth)
- broken cup holder, coin tray, or motorized nav cubby (not a problem, but easy to break)


All this stuff is covered under warranty (except rock chips). If it's still under warranty, just take it in if you see any of it.

 

Excellent, thanks for that!!

 

Your probably beyond the warranty period but some items are TSBs & will be fixed by dealer including rear axels & leaky feul lines.

Do have a good mechanic check the car out.
