Exclamation 06 350z enthostian roadster, deal or no deal?

I'm looking to buy a 2006 350z enthusian roadster with touring package.

Automatic with 36089 miles on it. Have clean title from car fax and one owner.

Car seems pretty clean from pictures. Asking for $16750 good deal, good year?

Still in powertrend warranty 5 years/60k miles.


Stock everything. No fix up. Deal or no deal? Should I buy it?
Is it a good model year?

Missed it..

Do you know how to drive stick? Autos are great to just cruise but the manuals on these cars a real nice.

06 is the revup engine. Need to watch the oil issues.

"...but the manuals on these cars a real nice."

Yeah. Especially if you want to spend quality time working on the clutch, limping home with the clutch pedal stuck to the floor, changing/bleeding the fluid in the clutch master/slave system, trying to get the dealer to swap out the transmission when the synchronizers bite the dust, waiting for the pivot ball to break, etc, etc.

The 5AT is bulletproof, smooth as silk when driven gently, and crisp and fast when driven harder.

How do you know? You haven't broken 3000 RPM's... And the manuals are bulletproof too, if you drive 'em like a grandma...

I don't have any of the problems you're talking about. I don't slam mine but I get on it.

If you want an auto get something else.

Reading the title makes me believe the OP is still in 3rd grade.

Don't understand that. I have not had a problem with mine. I'm not a grandma driver or a hot rod driver, but I do get on it once in a while, and I would go with a "mt" vs "at" anytime. The feel of shifting is great.

The only issue I had with my MT was the pedal sticking to the floor. I got a SS clutch line, Motul RBF600, and bled it. Problem solved.
