Default Lets go 350z shopping!

I am about to enter the market for the 350z. I will not be buying new -- '03-04 is what I'm thinking. For those who have 350z experience, can you please inform me of what I need to be looking out for so that I don't get stuck with a lemon?

Thanks!!

Premature tire wear was a major issue for some of those early cars - the problem hasn't appeared nearly as much with the 2004.5 and newer cars. Tires were feathering wearing out in as little as eight to twelve thousand miles.

Welcome.

350Z owners are very critical of problems: major and minor. This forum is about the 350Z. If you are serious about spending $25,000 on a car, dedicate several hours to reading and studying.

Please explain this response begs your resident troll, shopping myself and was just wondering if this was made out of disdain for lack of using the search feature or an honest opinion.

He obviously is confused...

I would say if I could do it all over again, as well as my friend Yaseen-Nmugen
I would say try to get a track...they are the best car and it may cost you more at first but it is worth it in the long run..
Yaseen just bought an 04 enthusiast and he is going to sell it for the Track.
Just my.02
