hello to all...i saw a 2004 350z conv at a local dealer that looks stock but when i opened the hood it had turbo added as a after market accessory. drove the car its fast...nice. if i buy the car and ask for a extended warranty will the turbo void it?

The car is a 04,what kinda warranty are you talking about?
Obviously this Z is at a used car dealer.Most used car lots offer these
"extended warranties".Be careful with these deals.Read the fine print.
The warranty may not cover aftermarket parts.Especially a turbo installation that
could cause damage to the engine.Some warranties have deductables.
Overall,its risky buying a Z that has been modified with a turbo system unless
you are well versed on the quality of work done...who did the work,parts used etc.
Got a pic or the ad for the car?
If so,forum members may be able to give you more insight on this car.

I would not get the warranty. I keep reading about (and personally experiencing) events where these extended warranties absolutely refuse to pay for repairs on cars that are bone stock and well within the limits of their fine print. Throw a turbo into the equation, and no matter what goes wrong on your car, the warranty company will blame it on the turbo and mot cover it. Extended warranties are a scam imo

Pass on it. Just keep looking if you have any doubts. Get a bone stock one and you'll feel much better.

When you find the one, you'll know. And don't bother with the extended warranty.

Definitely skip the Extended Warranty rip-off. If you know who did the turbo install, what equipment they used, etc it might be a good deal. If you can't find any of that out I'm afraid I'd pass on it unless it's a really good price. There are too many NICE stock ZR's out there with low miles, that you can mod as you wish (IF you want to) and you'll know exactly what you have and who did the work.

Just my $.02 worth.

It is 9yrs old......

I would think maybe look around 3 yrs old or so? That is getting old.
