Any problems with your 350z

[dailydriver]

Im going to buy a new 350z this year and I wanted to know what some of the problems i need to look forward to are?

[gbaker]

2003 - Transmission and tire feathering issues
2006 - RevUp oil consumption problems

Thanks appreciate it

2003 need new tires at about 12,000 milles. drivers window motor at about same time. even though Nissan is aware of the problem with tire feathering they would do nothing about it. SHAME because otherwise it is the best sports car in her price range

i'd wait for the 370z coming jan09.

There are great deals on new 2008 350Z's. $2,500 rebates so you should be able to get one for at least 5 grand off sticker. 9 to 10 grand off convert. and grand touring.

I bought one thinking I was getting a good deal at Royal Nissan. I did not notice the hail damage till the sun was shinning on the roof at just the right angle. Took that piece of junk back and told them to give me my car and money back. They also lied about my trade in needing a brake job. A bunch of crooks. After my scathing reply to the mfg. questionnaire concerning my buying experience, I don't think that dealership will be getting their coveted award designation this year.

Isn't there a recall on the 06 engines for the oil consumption? I know someone that has that problem and got it fixed for FREE because it was Nissan's fault.

The root cause of Nissan's oil problems with the VQ engines comes from the piston rings being too thin. This leads to oil blow-by which leads to the oil consumption problem.
