HR ftw!
But what really sold me was the free keychain that came with buying the '08.

just keep saving your money and get a 370z and be done with it. Its shorter, faster, lighter, more power, well worth the money you'll be surprised for how much you can pick up a 370 for (I recently saw 3 in my area for around 22k with about 30k miles each and they didn't last very long). Even though i just got an 03 enthusiast i'm going to get a 370 pretty soon, i plan on collecting all the Z cars because No matter what year, their all awesome cars to have and drive and I wouldn't change anything about anyone of them.

The 370z is better for several reasons, but so is the 350z. At the time I bought mine, it made more logical sense to save 6-8k and ended up w/ a Touring 6MT NAVI with 10k miles, vs a 370z 40th anniversary edition (3 years newer) with 30k+ miles for 34-35k.

If your budget be a lil higher, I'd get http://www.carmax.com/enus/view-car/...d-3fd3c4efb22c

That car from carmax has been wrecked. I'd stay away from anything wrecked. At carmax prices I'd expect something that's very well conditioned.

After 8 months if you do not have a 350Z, then the Z is not for you. Have you looked at the RSX. You get reliability and performance in one package.

Does anyone know what percentage of '06 Zs were affected by the oil consumption issues? And if it is just a portion of the '06 model year, is there a VIN range?

Take a look at Consumer Reports. I think you will see a considerable difference between objective reliability statistics and my350z.com anxiety.

ihmcguinness

yeah, but there must be a reason that the rev-up engine only lasted 1.5 model years. companies don't normally keep an engine around for that short a cycle.

Biscuit

Bad press and $$$, tough to sell a car if the engine is known to fail.

So just because my join date was that long ago you think I was trying to buy one the while time? Well your wrong. I knew I was not ready. I had just moved out and blah blah blah. But now I'm getting closer to being able to get one.


370 is not even on my list... I hate it and think its ugly.

My list kinda goes like this:
Nissan 350
Infiniti g35
Honda s2k
Wrx

I've been here since 2010 and just got my Z in at the begining of march 2012, he could of been doing extensive research like I was doing before I finally decided to get my Z
