Default I have a question

I’m looking to get a 2008 350z nismo as my first car and it has 186000 miles on it. When a 350z gets to that many miles does it go bad? Like what i mean is if anything major will go bad with that many miles.

Welcome- cars in general don't "go bad". Cars do, however, get worn out depending on what kind of maintenance they receive. Budget a few hundred dollars and pay a Nissan specialist to do a full written assessment of this Z. Then you'll have a better idea of what major repairs might be in store before you purchase it.

But what about that notorious Nismold that eats away at the tires and brakes? Not to mention that Zungus stuff that always occurs when they hit 150k miles?

If this is your "1st car" it's likely you're under 25. Don't do anything before getting insurance quotes, and do not drive a car without insurance.

The only thing, if properly taken care of, is your driving skill
