I've had mi e since 07 new. it has 75k miles and I've changed:
Drivers window motor
front bushings (it's been lowered it's whole life pretty much)
Rear hatch shocks
headlights (due to yellowing)

Other than this my z is solid. all you have to do is keep up with maintenance and it will treat you right.

Had my 03 for 6 months now. Bought it with 82k miles and currently at 96k miles. Passenger window motor, rear diff bushings, passenger seat motor, driver seat motor, hatch struts are starting to fail, transmission is starting to grind a bit, and lower control arm bushings. Car is pretty much stock except a cat back and an intake. Would I drive it cross country? Sure. Is it going to nickel and dime me to death? All signs point to yes. Most vehicles these days are pretty solid on the major components. Its the rest of the little knick knack crap that goes out.

I have owned an m3 for 9 years, and it has Never given me such much trouble like the 350. For most euros, door handle, windows regulator, trim, master cylinder, caliper, trunk struts, interior trims and panels etc are not an issue. do your homework or ask.

are you kidding? ive owned 2 bimmers and currently a merc.. the interiors look nice but everything falls apart and peels very soon. also, a plethora of other problems. maybe not mechanically, but you could buy a new engine by the time you tally up all the other ridiculous failures and expenses. never again

Default Buying used 350z

Hey guys, I'm about to buy a used 350z and was very concerned about the mileage. What is a good mileage range for these 350z's? I saw a 2003 with 115k and said hell no that's high, but saw it was still in good condition so it keeps me wondering about it. I was gonna get the 2006 with 71k but it's just alil more than the 03 model. So now I'm going back n forth debating on them but I've never owned one and don't really know how reliable they are, so the mileage concerns me. Any advice?

This is the reason why I just read and not post. This is really a smart post. I can be your father son. Nissan 350 is not the only car in this world. Noob? smart comment too...

read the link I posted...not my words

The S54 is a naturally aspirated engine that produces 343 PS (252 kW; 338 hp) way better than our DE or HR. I drive both and lets not be biased. Merc is being in BMW shadows for years, not worth the mention here. I wont fight this fight cause both cars are in my garage right now. I am not a kid...

Seeing your statistics, you should go out and show the world how of a pro driver you are. Insteat, you spend 99% of the time here being an inmature (PIMP) wannabe, but hey cool story bro.


To the OP, I would save money and get a 370 or get an 335i bi-turbo.
