....too many oil issues!albert_ey wrote:Prices?
I'm leaning towards the 07 because I have heard that the 06's have an Oil Burning issue. Don't know if that's true.
I have a white '06 enthusiast. I would definitely go with that one.Wildo wrote:Hi guys - Quick update i test drove the 07. I didn't "feel" it. The car was really dusty. swirls marks all over the paint. and the Base model really felt "base". I guess this car is not for ones that want a bit more technology.
But i sent an e-mail to 06 guy and amazingly he dropped 3k off the tag. He's going to buy his new car and wants to get rid of this one. that's amazing! Does anyone here with an 06 have that oil consumption problem? How much was it to fix? I did call nissan USA and gave them the VIN number to that car, they said it wasn't part of the recall so she assumes its OK. Thoughts?
only 11K miles, nice! Your Z looks extremely clean. Did you buy it new?rousie13 wrote:I've also had no issues with oil consumption on my 350z, but it only has ~11k on the clock. I keep an eye on it since its under warranty for a while longer for powertrain, so if it starts burning oil then its new motor time from Nissan.
Its actually got about 10,8** on it. I bought it last August with 6k miles on it. The guy that bought it new never drove it and I got him to drop ~$4k off of his asking price. You have to love people that have to sell something.RCAnismo wrote:

Id say go for the 92 z32;)Wildo wrote:Hi Guys. I've been lurking around for some time and is 99% ready to bite the bullet on used Z here. but can't decide which to choose.
06 350Z Enthusiast. 7000 miles. Looks to be very very mint. Tint windows. 07 350Z Base. 7500 miles. Not as mint, can use a wax job. Some after market muffler (not sure if its full exhaust or not..but sounds really good), windows need tint, windshield needs repair from rock chip.
Price is fairly similar. both are white. Im leaning towards the 07 because it is local and i dont have to drive 5 hours out of town to get the 06. But the 06 seems to be in better condition and owner seems to have taken very good care of it.
Let me know what you guys think
If the '06 is a MT - there is a chance it has the Oil Consumption issue. That problem only infected the rev-up. The auto had the 287hp, 6600 redline engine - well proven reliability. I've got an '06 ZR auto - no oil issues - and I don't expect any.Wildo wrote:Im surprised you haven't heard anything about it. I found it in this forum:
