Default New to us...

...2005 350Z Roadster w/30K.

Well she wanted one and got it.

Really nice ride and she loves the short throw 6!!!

With only 1500 new to us miles on it the front tires need to be replaced(we had the dealer do it and pay for it as it was a pre-purchase issue) - yea, they may have been feathered a little!!!

Now with a couple hundred more miles the clutch is slipping.

Luckily a friends friend has had a few of these and will take a look(dealer said it wasn't covered under the limited warranty - but I have to look into that).

Anyhow...the car itself is in great shape and really comfortable...even for my 6'5" frame!

I'm off to the 'drivetrain' forum to see about the clutch...thanks for having me!

I'll work on the pics.

As for the warranty - the dealer is holding to his own.

Yes...the 'power train' wasrranty does nto cover it...however...CT has a 'Lemon Law' warranty.

If you buy a car for over $5K (and under 6 years old)...then you have a 60 day or 3000mi. warranty(cosmetics not covered). All mechanicals have to be working for that period of time...otherwise the dealer is suppose to take car of it. I spoke to CT DMV and they said if the dealer does not, to put a report in and they will have an inspector look into it.

I'm having a local friend take a look at it tomorrow, as the dealer appt is set for the 28th!!!
