in the words of one major auto magazine....."you can easily pay twice as much for the same performance, but WHY?" nuff said. On a scale of 1-10, the Z is a 9 as far as maintenance is concerned...a lot of stuff is DIY.

The 350z is a pretty reliable car as it is. Try to get an 04 plus. The main thing is to check by your local agencies or with a good mechanic the car has not been in an accident or flood. The suspension setup on these cars is aluminum and damaged easily if you hit a curb or anything like that. Also verify the tranny is in good shape. Try to get a Z with documented miles and history. Good luck.

How many camels do you have to trade in on the Z??

Let's do the math on this situation:

3 each - 2 hump Camels

+

Your dad's old boat

= Nice Z Downpayment!! YAY!!!!

NewJerZ, comments like that are not welcome...you're not funny at all, in fact, the message is presented in a very prejudice/racist/disrespectful manner. You may have not meant it in a rude way, but the reader does not get any emotional feedback from you, like in a live conversation on how you are trying to get the message across, so better leave messages like that out next time!
