I wanted to purchase this car

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/1787275210.html

does anyone know what are the known issues for this model (it is a 2005 35th anniversary model)?
what should i be paying more attention on when i inspect this car?

any advice would be appreciated!

Thnaks!

 

It's not an anniversary model, it just has the special paint.

 

^...what he said. Check the condition of the brakes, tires, leaks, fluids etc.... just use common sense when looking it over. Drive it too and see how it feels

 

^Good advice on everything else, would also add running a carfax on it as well.

 

the 05 yellow had the rev up. They had issues. I can't comment on that specific car.

 

Lol, corrected myself as well!

 

35th anniversary manuals and track models had the Rev up all others had the standard DE.

Anyone else think the exhaust is unusually black like he was running TP's or NOS?

 

I did again as well to better support your comments.

 

Its not a rev up car, its just a yellow 05, nothing special.

 

Correct. Rev-ups have a redline of 7100, this car redlines at 6600. All anniversary editions had the Rev-up engine. So, this isn't an Anniversary Edition.

Also, the Anniversary Edition had the Brembo brakes IIR. From the pics, it doesn't look like this car does.

Thanks for all of the advices.
yes, i will run it through carfax as well as bring it to the mechanic for a check out.

Thanks!

 

It has a after market Gready exhaust, maybe it comes like that? i dont know .

but does people really put NOS in their cars? i though that only happens in the movies.

 

price is to high IMO..

 

Do not be concerned about the rev-up motor. Add a quart of oil every month. What will that cost? $25/year. Same as a tank of gas.

Guess the car is no longer for sale.

 

I think the Rev-up engines were all replaced under warranty?

 

So much is wrong with this post.

 

/facepalm

 

Where do you think the makers of Tokyo Drift did their research? my350Z.com of course.

 

Did you go with the 350Z or RSX?
