Default First time Z owner ..

Picked her up yesterday ..

2007 350z
ONLY 3000 miles
black leather, bose sound system, heated seats, etc (everything except navi)

its in MINT condition except for a slight scuff on the front underneath the bumper. The stupid dealer put it up on the sidewalk at the front and probably did it .. I'll get the detail guy at work to see if he can get it off or I'll paint it black to hide it (you can kind of see it in the picture)

Got it at a honda dealer. They said some old lady owned it for just under a year, drove it on weekends, and kept it in her garage. She traded it in for a new honda element b/c they have more "room"

I'm 18 and work at a Dodge dealership body shop as a painter .. only thing I dont like about the car is its auto (wanted a 6 speed)

But I have to sit in rush hour traffic to and from work .. so my left let will appreciate that coming from a 91 Mr2 turbo with a stage two clutch .. also the triptronic isnt half bad compared to the Dodge version

was looking around .. would a upgraded valve body in these cars be the same as installing a "shift improver kit" into a chevy or ford tranny?

ive put a shift kit in a f350 truck once and it really firmed up the shifts and made it slightly faster

also would it void my warranty? (just wondering, if so, I'll just wait)

But beware these older guys probably will bash you because of your age

The salesperson told you some old lady owned it for just under a year, drove it on weekends, and kept it in her garage. What a crock of $hit!!

I had a salesman feed me that same line on a sports car once. That line must be in a used car salesman handbook somewhere.

Nice car though...

haha .. I'm not worried about my age .. NONE of my friends are making half what I make or able to think about getting something like a 350z

guess thats what I get for starting college during my senior year in high school and having a little luck by getting a painters position during a "depression" ..

as for the car .. I know that may be a bunch of crap about the old lady .. but the car is immaculate .. cant of been beaten on that much in 3000 miles and still be spotless

was going to get a 30K mile 350z for around $18K but came across this one and thought it'd be worth the extra money to get a "new" one

just cleaned out my garage where its gonna sit .. plus theres supposed to be hail coming today (in 84 degree weather )

Welcome to the forum, and congratZ. If you're concerned about your warranty best to stick to the book as such.

yea .. I'm going to keep it stock until the warranty is up

drove it to work and back today .. theres nothing wrong with these cars .. awsome tranny for an auto and plenty of power in the low rpm's for traffic

love the bose stereo system .. never heard a stock radio sound so good .. it doesnt beat your ears out, yet has a nice clean sound to it

and the bluetooth is just cool .. just press a button and say "call home" or answer calls without touching my phone or trying to get it out of my pocket whilst in traffic

only thing I might do is tint the windows, put in that box they sell to hook my ipod up to the radio for now

then later after the warranty ends upgrade the valve body in the transmission
(gotta find a review and see if its gonna do the same as a shift kit does, it should though)
