Question Just bought 2005 Z

Last night I bought a 2005 350Z Touring. It's in mint condition and only had 30,000 miles. Some guy's weekend driver. I paid 17,700, and so far I love the car but I'm having a few regrets since it is a 6 year old car. Is this a good car? Any known issues to look out for? I appreciate your advice ahead of time, and look forward to using this forum.

Hello and welcome!

Don't fret. I bought my 2003 used back in March with 45,000 miles and it ran like a champ this past summer with no problems. Got her up to 49,300 miles.

Just search and search this forum and you'll find the answers you need.

Thanks for the info guys. I have 3 days to decide if I'm going to keep it, or go back to my VW GLI. I'm going to have it put on a lift today and have my mechanic look at it.

In my opinion the z is the most reliable sports car you can get other than an s2000 and some well maintained vets. You got a good year to dont worry about a thing.
