Question New to the club.

Hi all, I am looking at getting a 2008 350Z Convertable. I found one for a good price low milage the only thing that is a bit of a red flag is it's only been driven about 500 miles in the last 3 years. The owner can no longer sit in the car comfortably. For those 3 years, it has not seen much use and really no maintenance to speak of. What would you recommend looking for as far as problems when I go to pick it up?

Welcome- as with many others, I suggest you contract with a Nissan specialist to do a full independent mechanical assessment BEFORE you purchase this Z. That way, you'll get the full story on how much the true cost of this purchase will be. At the very least, expect to change and upgrade ALL the fluids/lubricants in the car.

Rusty rotos?
Check oil?
I've probably put 500 miles in the past 3 years on mine too. If it has no issues it shouldn't have issues now.
