Buying a 350z

[franky694]

Im looking to purchase a 350z and i found some decent deals are my local car dealerships.

The most intruiging one is a 03' 350z for 12,999. The catch is that it has 104,000 miles. It had one owner and overall looks in good condition. Ima get my mechanic to take alook at the car and put it on a lift.

im just worried about reliability since it does have over 100k. If my mechanic OKs the car and if it drives smooth should i go for it? I have a trust for nissan and a philosphy that if you take care of your car you have nothing to worry about.My dad had a 88 nissan sentra and till this very day it still going and has 276K.

Another 350z i found is for 18Grand and has 50K. Looks great. its a 2004...my 2nd choice..

so what do you think?

Im really set on this car...but i dont wanna buy something that will die on me(especially if im making payments)

I plan on installing a CAI and maybe some other upgrades but CAI would be immiedately after i get the car. Does that make a difference in reliability?

As long as its well maintained I wouldn't let 104K miles scare you away. The VQ is a great motor.

Member NSRsheets has atleast that many miles on his 350Z.

Welcome to NICO btw

Nissan claims the Z was made to do 200k. Most Z's are someones second car or are not driven in the winter, where I live. That cuts down on miles.
