Im new to this forum, just sold my 04 Chevrolet Avalanche today. Im going to buy a 350z later this week. I was wondering if there was a year there were alot of problems with the 350z. Or a specific year thats better then others. Im looking into buying a 03-05, any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

use the search.. But 03 has tire feathering. 05 has oil consumption, i think? Look for a used 07 with HR motor, if you can find in your price range

Negative, '06 has oil consumption.

I would recommend an '07 or '08.

Most likely it will be a lower mileage Z still under the factory warranty as well.

If your looking between '03 and '05, go for '04 or '05.

Go for an 07 or 08, you want the HR.

if you want one thats not too pricey go with a 04-05,but if u dont mind spendin a lil more go with a 07-08 even though z's arent expensive any more anyways.

I recommend that you shop by mileage not model year. In other words a 2003 with 40,000 miles is a better choice than a 2005 with 80,000 miles.

2014.


Just kidding, I agree with davidv, I looked at a lot of 06 and 07 but they were pretty high on miles, I ended up getting a 2003 with 45,000 miles. Not as many worries about problems, and worth more when/if I ever sell it.
