2006 Enthusiast 350z 12k miles. Pearl white, upgraded leather seats, bose, Jewel tail lights, clean for $18500. Thoughts?

 

Buy it, or tell me where it is so I can.

 

2006 is NOT a good year to buy.....

 

why is '06 not a good year?

 

buy it and beat the crap out of the motor untill about the end of the powertrain warranty then get a V2 replacement motor for oil consumptiont. Its like getting almost twice the life from you car. I got a new motor at 58,000 miles for oil consumption. Its like a new car all over again! lol.

Plus the 06+ interior is **** over the earlier years. I wish I could swap with mine.

 

Wait what is the deal with oil comsuption??

 

alot of 06 z burn lots of oil

so you just go into the dealer and they replace your engine?

 

Read man..there are tons of threads on the oil consumption issue for the 06 rev up

 

I have a 350Z but thanks anyway.

 

Thanks a ton for your guys imput. You probably saved me from a huge (and expensive) headache. I'm going to go with an '05- not reved up- base with only 16k miles.

 

No cruise control or lsd on that base...also no traction control...or auto dimming rear view mirror with homelink.

 

for that price. go for it if everything checks out

 

If your going to track the car or drive it hard a lot I say go for it... Your probably going to want a aftermarket LSD anyway, cruise is useless, TSC would be off all the time anyway, and you dont need autodimming when on a track and especially dont need remote garage door controls.

If its a DD though then you might want some of these things...

 

Im with you, 06 to me is a good year because you basically get 2 engines! I knew mine was consuming oil before i took it in for test and i knew my tranny whine was going to warrant a new tranny too.. So i drove her good and hard, then i took it in and got both replaced! Brand new car all over again! Im not complaining.

 

Is it the one on craigslist around the bay area that has a salvaged title?

 

Get the '06. You get a new engine.

Like the other guy, I got mine right before 59k miles. It's nice to start over on a used car.

No oil consumption here with the new engine. I'm not sure if it's how you break it in or what, but whatever.

 

I bet it has a OC issue.

 

i think the 05 is a better choice
