Okay, I have two major questions, Price and oil consumption.


It is 11/06 350z Enth MSRP $31,200 for $25,300 is it a good deal?or should I aim to $24,500? (the price doen'st include TTL)

I didn't even know there is a oil consumption problem with 06 models by yesterday and I may pick up the car tommorow. I was going to sign up today but I wanted to make sure that late model Z 06 productions don't have problems? Is it true? or the early models don't have problems?
OR does some of 06 productions have problems, and depends on how I am lucky to pick up the right car? Can I test it before I buy the car?

I want a solid answer. Here I'm risking $30k car and I really wanna mess up. lol

Thank you!
I hope I buy the car!

VIN is JN1AZ34E86M380615

 

one more, This dealer has 6 of 06 models. I talked with sales person and he told me that this dealer ship is poor. Any dealership around my location don't have usually 1 or 2 06 models.... lol

 

My target price for a leftover 2006 Enthusiast is $26,208. I would take $25,300 in a heartbeat. Concerning the 2006 and oil problems: there are about 30,000 2006s on the road. And how many members have identified oil problems? 10? Thank about it.

 

Oh wow that price really satisfied me. He was asking 26k and I was on 25k so I was looking 25.3

MSRP 31,200
Incoive 28600 <- not sure
and $1500 rebate
$1000 dealer leftover discount

so total 26k what he is asking and he is willing to meet up at half way for $25.5k! I talked with GM directly and he was really nice guy while I was talking to him.

 

BTW are you from Laurel, MD?

 

yes!

 

Just curious. You missed the College Park meet today. The turnout was impressive with about 20 350Zs. Maybe next time we get together you will be driving a 350Z.

 

damn is it over? I was at dealer. I hope to going there next year together!

 

yea i have a 06.5 Z and i have the issues so beware but ....i mean its all covered either way but ..if your getting the MT chances are highly probable that ur gonna be having a oil drinker. But if its a auto no probs at all.

 

Great, I have a friend looking at 2 different 06 GT's at this very moment, each with 4,000K. I guess I'll advise him of this. I guess we can run a vin. through the dealership for any past problems!

 

It is 6MT

 

Then welcome to the oil drinkers ...where few but many

 

Might be a slight oil drinker, but this car is sure worth it!!

 

yeh, this car is even over the my maximum limit, but I'm getting financed. I just hope that this car doesn't have problem.

so when I buy this run first 1000 miles safely and measure the oil stick every 100 miles?

 

I ck mine every 500 miles. I average a quart every 2500 miles or so. Not as bad as others, but as long as I know it's topped off, I'm ok with it.

 

so as long as we keep looking at the oil level and maintnace carefully, we are not going to screw up the engine? what engine oil I should use?

 

I think you hear more of it because the people that have the problem are so vocal. It is more likely that the issue is not a major epidemic among all Rev-Up VQ35DE but rather one series of production.

I would be less concerned with the oil consumption, and more concerned with the pre-sale depreciation of that 2006 model. You are purchasing a couple of months before the 2008 models are to be released during a depressed economy.

 

When's the guesstimated release of the 2008s? I ask because the 07s were released this past February.

Thanks. I hope they come sooner than that! 07 discounts!

 

maybe 08 feb? or Jan? even 08 comes out they won't give me 8k off from msrp for 06 models

 

I purchased my 06 enthusiast 6spd for 24k out the door

hell they even brought it over from st louis for me for free

so far so good on my oil levels!
