Default Buying a used 350Z - advice?

Hello all,

Nice forum...my first post so go easy on me

I am planning to buy a used 350Z. I have been doing some research and came across this forum and wondering if anybody can give me a quick analysis of 2003 to 2006 350Zs pros & cons.

For ex: there is a 2004 350Z with 16K miles for $23K
and there is a 2003 with 15K miles for $24K
all things being equal which year has the least problems, issues, etc.?

I've read about some bad quality interior materials, paint coming off etc. every car is different but any general guidance is greatly appreciated.

I hope to be an owner soon and post some picks I shall...

ciao


here are some links ive found about recalls and complaints

Welcome. For reliability data check Consumer Reports.
