Default 2005 issues

Hello,

I'm about to get myself a 2005 350zr touring, has anyone had any issues with the 2005 model? feathering? axle? Are the stock wheels 17" or 18"?

Thanks!

Axle clicking.

Paint is cracking under right brake light. Common problem around tail and head lights due to poor flex properties of the bumper paint.

More paint chips than I can count. I don't think I would count this one though. Don't let this one stop you. This will be true on most brand new cars. The Z paint isn't much more crappy than most current paint jobs.

Stock tires are wearing just fine with over 15,000 miles on them. Nice and even. Also have about 15,000 on the Dunlop snow tires and the front inside has got a sawtooth pattern to the tread. I'm going to see if the tire place will take them off next year and cross rotate them so they can even out. I have not heard much news about 2005 feathering. Keep in mind snow tires are very different compound than summer tires and will wear quickly. Escpecially the winter we just had here. Mostly saw dry pavement all season.

I think you would be pretty happy with a 2005.
