It sounds like to me you need more knowledge in cars before trying to post about "used 350z buyers beware."... Yeah before you signed any paperwork you make a dealer fix anything that is wrong. That is also why most respectable dealerships have a "fix it" list for you to sign stating you would like certain things fixed or looked at before taking full possession of the car. Really it just sounds like you needed a 30K mile tune up, brake pads, and tire pressure sensors. TPS are really the only biggie there....

Make sure you check that blinker fluid. They will get you every time!

people like this make me laugh... do you really think everyone in here knows everything about a 350z? i never professed to know a thing. I even put question marks where i wasnt sure. This post was meant for the poeple out there, interested in this car, but interested in knowing what to look out for.

OK superman, u know everything, so ignore the post. For everyone else looking to buy a z, NOT rich like superman here to buy a new Z, and dont know everything, here are a few things that i missed. Thats all. Not everyone buys a 30k mile car and expect to put another $1000 in it right away for stock parts.

fly on mr superman with ur eyes of flames....lol

This part though is some useful info. Although your aim was to degrade a simple addition to the community, i am very appreciative of this info. Next time someone is buying a used car, i am sure they will find this info useful too.

You're trying to make him out to be Mr. Perfect, meanwhile you are not allowing any fault on yourself for being car illiterate.

To answer everyones questions.

1) i dont mind what i have had to pay. Simply just my loss. Just saying, anyone looking to buy a used 350z should consider these costs.

2) i paid $20k for it in miami

3)I did my research and apologise for the caliper comment. I took a comment and misunderstood it. I dont know much about cars. Learning as i go

4) Again, this post was for people that arnt car literate like "iceagetlc". For other people like me, who like nice cars and are learning as they go.
