Hey I am new. Name is Sean and wondered if anyone has been as lucky as me. I went in to a used car dealership to look at a 2003 350z and it had 112k miles but it ruan like a champ absolutely the best I have ever drove and I have had a new vet and this was just great, I 6ft 4 inches tall and fit better in the z than any other sports car it was great!! so i was going to buy it and the sales guy tells me since it has over a hundred k miles nissan wants to take the engine ,transmission, driveline , rotors, wheels ,suspension, and any other moving part computer ect that would have wear and tear due to the driving of the car and replace it with all new parts, they are not allowed to just purchase the car for some wierd reason but all in all I purchased the car and as we speak all the parts i mentioned above are being replaced with all new ones!! How lucky is that? The one thing they wont do is reset the odomoter. They are looking for high mile newer cars to run reasearch tests on for some reason. All in all I feel extremely lucky. Antone else ever heard of this happening and I will get the name and # of the nissan rep to maybe give someone else the same chance i got. I have alot of questions so i will start searching and asking. So hi everyone!

 

I've never heard of such a thing. But that's alot of miles for a 2003 Z. You should buy one with lower miles. Everything experiences wear and tear. There will be moving parts that they will not replace, and non-moving parts experience wear and tear too.

 

They are changing every part that could wear outand they they gave me a100,000 mile warranty( a hundred thousand more miles)and for 14,000.00 you cant beat it, they ar also taking care of all the service including oil changes and major services for 2 yrs from now.

 

may be it's just highway mileage. The owner may be commute a lot. As we all know, high mileage doesn't necessary mean bad thing.

 

fo real?

 

Welcome. Very interesting concept. Kept us posted. Good luck with that Z.

 

Do you mind telling us around how much this set you back? Curious as to how the price stacks up with a 100,000 mile Z vs. all the "upgrades".

<---me at work

 

something smell fishy???? with all this???

 

that is a lot of miles, good luck with that car, let us know how it turns out

 

Watch him go back askin where his new parts are and the blank stares at the dealer wondering, "WTF is wrong with this guy"

 

Very fishy.

My 03 just clocked 25,000 miles

 

Im pretty %100 sure that they are getting mad $$ from replacing all those parts and they are doing it as part of the warrenty. They are comulating work for themselves as they sell it to you. Nissan is going to pay them and the fact that the car has over 100k on it could give them a legit reason to be able to charge all that $$.

 

sounds fishy to me

 

A friend of mine has about 120k on his 2003. The only thing he has replaced was a power window module and the tire feather issue. Nissan knows him well to due to some connections he has.

I'm calling BS on the original post.

 

I have a high mileage 03... runs great..orig owner ran 30 k per year, highway miles.

 

What auto lot did you buy it from?

 

Why would they do that through a used car dealer rather than a Nissan dealership that would have some records on the car. Who is going to do the work? Why wasn't it done before they put the car up for sale?

Other than those questions, sounds like a good deal.

 

Thats abnormal for a dealer to do- they always look at the pros/cons of their business decisions. Wherever they can make a buck, they will. In this situation of a car with 112k miles and they promised you all the wornout parts will be replaced? and a 100000 mile warranty? that sounds really sketchy. That could cost them a lot of money in the long run if something goes wrong with your Z. On the flip side, for you thats a pretty sweet deal considering you are pretty much covered. I'd do more research, talk to prior customers of that dealership, and make them give you a written contract of the services offered so there are no screw-ups. Good luck with the Z.

 

I am up to my eyeballs in Bullsh!t!
