new person!!!
hey all, im new to this forum so hows it going?? well my dad is planning on picking up a 2005 350z and im most likely going to be picking it up for him. we're buying it from a private owner so what are somethings i should look for when checking out the car?? i know somethings to look for...body damage tire wear. but any engine or electrical things i should be aware of as well?? i know the people selling the car and from the pictures i have seen it is very clean and very well maintained. but just curious on what else i should be looking for. it has very low milage on it as well. thanks for all the help and hello once again....

welcome to the forums... so is this your dad's car or your's. by that i mean are we gonna be kickin it with you or your dad? hahaa... either way... congrats.
for the 2005... hmmm... not really sure, but i know the 2006 revup motors have an oil consumption problem on some cars, but not all cars tho. 2005 model i have not heard much about. should be good to go if the original owner took good care of it.
do a search on the tech section and see if there are things you need to watch out for on the 2005.

But umm as for 2005 Z, they are pretty solid. They have gotten rid of the tire feathering problem by 2004 1/2 Z... I had the 05Z for a few years and not a single problem..
