Default Planning on getting a used z

Hey im Dave and I currently drive a 98 prelude. The game plan is to get a 04 z with less than 40k miles, mt, performance model for around $17k. Im planning on getting a z in probably march and paying straight cash for it. I have a few questions, i hear that the z's have tire wear problems, which years have this problem and how do you fix it? I also hear that some z's have oil burning issues and i was wondering if its on the VQ35DE has this problem or if the rev up one has this problem? I honestly cant wait for spring time to come

Welcome, use the seach button, there must be a million threads about those questions.

06 == oil consumption problems
03-04 == tire feathering

Does a correct allignment (and new tires) resolve the tire feathering issue? Or is there a also some sort of suspension modification?

Welcome. That gives you 4 months to read all of the “What year should I get? threads.
