i am looking at a 2005 350z with 92xxx miles. everything looks clean about it except wheels have some curb rash and the inside door handles look like hell from being scratched. he said all 350s have that problem? is it true? how can i fix that and does anyone have any oem wheels for sale?

 

Minor defects imo. Yes the interior switch panels do scratch easily. All can be fixed.

Go on the marketplace here and check for wheels. People sell OEMs all the time. Good luck.

 

Very common to have scratch. People usually end up painting them.

 

As the other have stated the problems you've stated are common with most cars honestly... wheel curbage and scratches at the door handle are completely normal especially for a car that is 8 years old.

Would you give us more specifics about the car? Price? Dealer/Private seller? Clean title? Any aftermarket modifications? Any pictures you have would also help.

 

i got my z with no scratches ..... it has scratches now

 

Got my Z with curbage and some minor scratches. Buffed out the scratches. and I know a lot of people don't like the Plasti-dip or make lots of money to buy new, but it worked on hiding the curb dings in the wheels. My waterfall had some peels and scratches also. plasti-dip is very close in color for the black interior and made it look like new.

 

The car is old. I can't fathom scratches and such on my z, but it's just a car.

 

92000 miles and scratches on the car? Run OP, I definitely wouldn't think about buying this thing. He obviously hasn't taken great care of it.
What is he going to try telling you next? The brake pads are getting worn down? The shocks might need to be replaced?
Sounds like a guy trying to get his problem on someone else's hands...




For f!cks sake, a post about scratches...

 

Haha I know like seriously...

My z has scratches and it only has 50k miles, I realized it's almost ten years old but well taken care of. If I were you I would more worry about trans, engine etc. These cars are bullet proof minus the window motors lol

 

Don't forget the rear hatch strut. My head hurts thinking about it.

 

I've got scratches in my Z from the women that get in it.

 

I didn't know inflatable doll cause scratches. Learn something new...

 

You guys are crazy lol

 

Scratched handles and curbed wheels can mean the owner probably wasn't very careful with the car

I would really inspect it for any other damage like dented parts or repainted panels and throughly inspect the engine

 

Its true, the dolls came with sharp nails

 

If it's black inside that's just common. Nissan messed up with the early 350z interior. My scratched just from use and I have half those miles.

Sounds like you're being picky in the wrong places. Test the clutch and trans, and engine.

 

How easily does your guys "paint" scratch off?

My switch panel and radio panel scratches off like butter... the matte comes right off and shows plastic.

bleh.

 

For sure lots on scratches with the ladies getting in the Z, but fixable so no worries there. Worry about engine,trans, and body.Thats most important

 

^ andy11446 get matte paint and put a little paint reducer to slow down the quick drying, and apply a couple coats and you should be okay.

 

There is very little that I worry about. Worrying is not good for you.
