Looking at buying a 2009 M35s - thoughts?

[BennyC]

Hi All,

New here. Was looking at a M37 but it fell through. Now looking at a 2009 M35s and was wondering if anyone can tell me what to look for when I go look at it tomorrow? It has 94k on it.

Also, can anyone tell me about the engine? There is not too much info on this one for some reason. Longevity of engine?

Thanks for any and all help.

I can vouch for the HR engine. It is brilliant. There is some info here:
http://www.nissan-global.com/EN/DOCUMEN ... ne_Eng.pdf
It's a briefing from Nissan regarding the upgrade to HR.
The HR begins around page 15 I think.

Hi Larz,
Thanks for the reply, what about the vehicle in general? What do I need to look for? Is there any problems with eh sunroof leaking or anything that you have heard of?

Thanks!

Also, when i looked a the car I noticed the engine would idle weird, hi, lo, hi, lo but just by 100 rpm or so, is this normal??

100 isn't bad...but it's probably just dirty and needs to be cleaned up (MAF), some seafoam in the gas/intake manifold, etc. (we have a lot of HowTo's for this car in the link in my signature). It does have 94kmi on it and you don't know what's been cleaned. I usually spend a week or two whenever I get a new vehicle cleaning up and doing maintenance (like I am on an old '89 Kawasaki right now).
