Hey guys,
Well I've really been wanting a 350 for a long time now and i'm trying to get one soon. I've been checking everywhere trying to find a good deal.

Ideally i'd like to spend around 10-15K. It'd be nice if I could get a newer 05-06 but they seem just a little out of my price range. It's definitely got to be a manual.

When I'm looking at cars, what are some of the problem areas with the Z's? I've read about them eating oil, but I haven't seen too many other problems. What should I look for?

And do you think my price range is right for what I want? Thanks

Having recently been where you are, I can say that the '03-early '04 models had alignment issues, causing bad tire feathering. Definitely check the front tires when you test drive. There are a couple of small ways to reduce the feathering but no real fix. Your budget is definitely reasonable for a Z, and you can even find some '06's in your budget but they will have higher mileage. Also, the window motors are known for failing in these cars, as well as fuel gauge issues. Just some small things to look out for but nothing that will prevent the car from being drivable. Just do some shopping around and you should be able to find exactly what you are looking for.
