Hello everyone

I have been shopping around for the last month and this ad come across.
http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/ctd/1749209130.html
I have never bought a used car before, so I would love to hear some advice from the experts (YOU)..

This is a 2007 350Z and it only has 12k mileage on it, i can probably ask for 18k for the car. But here is my questions...

1) This is worth it?
2) what model is this 350Z... I really like the brambo breaks, it looks sexy... does those breaks only come with the GT model of 350Z?
3) i have done some research about 350Z and oil consumption is a known issue, will i be running into this problem on a 2007 350Z?
4) i have never bought a used card before, what are some of the critical things i need to make sure before i purchase this? I don't want to spend my money on a lemon car.

Thanks in advance!!

if the owner isn't hiding any mechanical problems, you should hop on that deal, that car looks clean..make sure to have it checked out by a mechanic or someone you know and trust..the oil consumption problem only deals with the '06 models..what you need to look out for is the clutch slave, ask the owner if he got it fixed because it was on recall for many of the '07 models..check the tire wear because tires can go pretty quickly with the Z, if they look warn, that's a good way to get the owner to lower the price..good luck!

verdict.

^ Good advice. The price seems fair for having only 12k.

Get it checked out by a mechanic or bring someone that knows what they're looking for. Good luck!

And being an automatic makes it an even better deal.

No oil consumption issues with the '07. The oil consumption issue was with the '06 manual models. The '07 is the HR engine.
It's the GT model.
And yes, the Brembo brakes are nice.

hey car looks clean and price is not bad!!!
here is a check list for you

1. Number of previouse owner?
2. Does factory warranty still valid?? (get VIN and call any nissan and ask service desk)
3. Does car has any aftermarket mod done?
4. Any prior accident??

If car still have factory warrantee you are good on the mechinic part, bc u have warrante!
But man that z is a automatic, i wouldn't buy it

Sonoma_Dog

Thanks for all the good advices!
sorry about my poor English, I can not type and think at the same time... but come on, i am an Asian

I have to get an automatic because my girlfriend ! I seriously would love to have a manual 350Z...

I am not sure what that switch is for, i didnt even notice the switch when i was test driving it yesterday. it could be a light switch?

Thanks again!

This is a salvage title right?

Buying a Used Car? Just Say – "Show Me the CARFAX!"

Sonoma_Dog

Yes, indeed. I need to see the CARFAX.. The CARFAX should tell me rather if the car is salvage title. correct?

Yes, as well as previous owners and accidents.

Brembo Brakes. If it has them then it is a Track version.

And I have never bought a used card before either so I don't really know what to tell you. Nor do I know how a used card ties into this situation.


it's an auto, and you spell it WORN. I don't think the tires can looked warned.
