Default Looking. Best year 2003-2009

Looking for a 2003-2009 350z manual. Any years I should stay away from. I hear 2003 had problems with Transmissions and tire feathering.. What else should I look out for

First,whats your budget?If you don't have the money,why look?
On the 03 models(will be very affordable to many),dude,you gotta think that
the tire feathering(alignment)and tranny problems would have been long
fixed by previous owners.Like any car yo buy,drive it,check it out.

Go for an '05 or better. Better yet, purchase the latest year that you can afford. Before doing so, get a pre-purchase inspection done.

Stay away from the 2006 Rev-Up. Long story short they do burn oil more then you know.

The 2003 does have tranny issues. But really just check for grinds in the synchros.

I'd go for a 07 if you can afford it the HR engine is best. I love my 04 because it's all I could afford and only has about 45K on it.
