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 forum

 

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.

 

Bienvenido!

 

haha this will be my dad's car. i drive a mazdaspeed3. but im no hater haha. i will come out to meets if you guys are welcoming an invite?? haha i can bring out a few folks from the mazda community with me as well!! we don't bite haha

welcome...im down for meets lol I dont really mind different cars since I like cars period lol only thing is I live in oxnard so if you guys meet up on the weekends I might be able to check one of them out since I go over to orange county on every other week

 

Irvine is a bit far to hang out for us... 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..

 

welcome to the forum

 

Welcome brosef.

Just run the Carfax on the vehicle and you should be fine.

There are only minor issues with the 2005 that shouldn't prevent you from buying it.
