@@Geezy100 did you get it? I’m a year late lol but 2006 is rev up engine and very known of burning oil quick + with that amount of mileage just gotta be aware of that really
A lot of people will use the excuse that they don’t want buyers at their home and want to meet at a mall or supermarket hence the car being warm up. Please invest in a automotive stethoscope and put it up to the oil pan and really listen good for rod knock from either excessive engine bearing oil clearance, and a lot of people will play with the bliss screw and kick up the idle just enough to mask a slight rod knock at idle. The engine is toast. Don’t fall for it. Rent an oil pressure tester from auto zone for free and test the oil pressure yourself.
I bought my base model Z, red with 6 speed MT, brand new in 2007. Paid cash for it. Now, 15 years later, it has a little over 3000 miles. That's right, three thousand (I don't drive it much, as it's my 2nd car). Been trying to teach my grandson how to drive a stick. He was born the same year I bought the car. Maybe I'll give it to him someday.
Bought my '05 Z a few years ago, 2 owners, 53k miles. No rust. Only issue is one of the owners painted something likely upwind so the roof has some overspray on it. Plus some thin scratches which I filled myself. I love her so much :)
Manual is definitely the way to go!🙌 If you’re buying a car like this, it’s for the driving experience and the manual is the best way to experience that! Keep searching, they pop up occasionally!🙌 thanks for tuning in Luke!
I was looking for nothing but a manual but I ended up buying an automatic with a blown engine and putting a new engine in. Honestly it was much much cheaper I have low miles and it’s so fun to drive even tho it’s auto
@@JohnnyB. your vids bring us together haha and keep up the good work man I can’t even tell you how much your vids have helped me! I was heavily looking into a rwd car last year and I stumbled on your vids doing research on the 350z and your vids made me pull the trigger and now I have the exact same model as yours!
Hi from Sweden! Your z looks great man! Been watching for a while now. I'd love a 350z but I'm halfway through university and probably 4 years off from being able to buy one. Hope they are still a good purchase at that point. They go for like $13k here. Keep up the great videos!
Hey! Thanks for following the videos🙏 I think in 4 years their prices wont change too much. Especially with more affordable electric cars taking a lot of attention, we might even see them come down a little bit over the next few years. I definitely think in the long run though that these are iconic Japanese sports cars that will climb and hold their value well into the future if maintained properly!! I really appreciate you tuning in brother!🙌
I had a dealership suck me in with an ad for a G35 that was obviously priced too low. Turns out they didn’t even have the car, just used the ad to draw in customers.
i have a pretty stock 2003 z with 60k miles i think it’s a gem considering it has everything original and the condition is perfect idk how much i could keep the worth of it though idk if i should mod it or sell it but i want to do one or the other
I understand what you mean! That is extremely low miles haha you could always do mods like suspension, exhaust and wheels! Plus, if you keep all the stock parts with you, you could just put them back on if you're going to sell it! Thanks for tuning in Jack!
Last year I bought my 2005 NISSAN 350Z CONVERT for $11,400 only 17, 000 miles on it, The engine is clean as hell brand new, I get so many compliments its crazy!
yay i just bought a Z… 100,000 miles picked it up in morning and wasn’t started… first flag checked… only 3 owners so 2nd flag checked… and was pretty pricey at $13,900 but also felt like it was perfect value for the condition… also no salvage title and pretty much all stock outside of some LED headlights installed :) feel a lot better about my most recent purchase after watching this video… Also, it made it all the way from San Jose where i bought it too fresno where I live… and no issues so i’m pretty happy with the purchase :) thanks for giving me some piece of mind
I'm looking at a 2003 350z right now, thanks for your advice. It's higher mileage than I want (137,000) but it's a two-owner, immaculately maintained stock (except intake) car for $8500.
I was watching this since I am in the market for a 350z and I happen to live right by the mall in Temecula so that was funny. Good video and super helpful!
I bought my 05 350Z with 7 pervious owners. But it had 114k miles and 30+ service records. The only things I found wrong were a bad control arm and a leaky top (roadster). I paid 7800 for it at the bottom of the price hike and I regret nothing!
Wow, 8 years!! That’s awesome. I’m approaching 3 years, but time is flying haha glad to hear you still enjoy it many years later. I feel that I will as well🙏🏼 appreciate you tuning in!
4 owners really isn't too bad!!🙏 Hopefully the issues weren't too extensive. Mint condition Z's will be worth big money in the future; definitely a good investment(imo)! Thanks for tuning in man!
Since it seems like you have alot of people looking to buy a Z in the future, maybe make a video on the things that will need to be fixed or replaced on a Z now since they are older cars. And oil consumption, because damn!
Hey man! Thanks for tuning in🙏 I've done a few videos in the past about things that will break / need to be repaired, but was thinking about doing an updated one as I have found a few more common issues. Thanks for the idea, I appreciate you my friend!
I don't think i ever told you, nor do i thnk you'll remember me from a few months ago but i got my Z a few months ago~thank you for all of the info, you prepped me for buying one~!
1. Cold Start: While true, it is unrealistic. Most sellers will not, and should not, invite you to their house, as it insanely dangerous. 2. Owner number is less relevant than length of time of last couple owners. 3. This is usually true, but not always. If you have the time, jumping on "too cheap" ads can get you a great deal.. 1/10 times :P Mustang Mach e is not a Mustang.
Currently saving for my 350Z, this is a great video - thank you. Your car looks great, I love the stance/wheels and that spoiler. Where can I pick that spoiler up? What’s it called?
I got lucky on mine. Bought an 06 with 145k on the body and the guy swapped a 50k mile engine from jdm of California and had a bunch of Z1 upgrades done, new wheels, and tires. New black paint job too. Got it for $7500
Got mine just before my birthday, 117k miles, 1 other owner, $10,800 for the car and just needs some fixing up like cosmetic stuff mostly but not in bad shape and most of it is cheap stuff so a plus
I bought my 350z convertible a few months I'm the second owner drove it from nc to ky nice ride but gotta paint it and do a few things but all and all a good car 🚗 ☺️
just copped a 80k mile single turb 350z for 3.5k 🥵🥵 shit didn’t run when I got it but kid changed the coolant system and left air in it.. couldn’t ever fully bleed it bc of the turbo setup so I rearranged it a bit bled air out and now it runs mint . Oh also I had to bypass a censor but we won’t talk about that... 🤣👍🏼👍🏼 good video g
I was thinking about doing a turbo kit for my z, do you think its worth it?? Love the vids can't wait to see you blow up. You deserve everything bro!!!
Thank you so much bro, I appreciate the kind words🙏 I would definitely be interested in slapping a turbo kit on this thing eventually. I feel like once it's where I want it to be cosmetically, the turbo will be my final mod haha they're a bit pricey installed+tuned, but I do think its worth it. Hard to beat the sound of a screaming turbo VQ! Appreciate you tuning in man!🙌
Too good to be true is definitely a good one to look for I got a g35 for $5000 it ran really good for like 2 months then the motor shit itself because the last owner botched the swap
I got mine from a car collector with one owner before him. Car only has 30k miles so I sent it even know it’s auto because the engine isn’t even broken in yet
I see a sports car dealership selling two 370z’s for 20k. A 2009 one has 57k miles and a 2014 or 2016 370z with 100k miles. Should that be suspicious since all 370z’s basically built the same? Both are base models and the 57k mile one had 1 owner and clean title.
Just bought my 350z for 7,000 it had a lot of stuff I had to replace but maintenance wise I only have 4 more things to fix and I’m good but I love the car
Hello! I’m looking at a 2003 Nissan 350Z Manual/ AC&Heat work/ 96,000Miles Salvage title ( wrecked/ air bags went off) * I notice rear right fender / bumper area scratched / dented. Was told insurance was going to total it but it was cosmetic damage / airbags that went off. The guy who owns it right now picked it up from the person who picked up the car. 1) would you purchase a de 350z? Is it “ worth “ getting a DE 2)should I wait it out or try to buy it off him? If so what would be reasonable price?
What sup thanks for the vid! I have a 2003 350z with 121k miles. Car is almost in perfect condition. Just salvage Bcs of very very minor damage. Front bumper was broken that is all. Nothing else was damaged.
Question, I saw that a lot of times you shift rather high in the rpms. I recently purchased a Z and the previous owner had the rev light at 5,000 so I haven’t really pushed it much beyond that for fear of causing undue stress on the car. Have you or anyone you’ve heard of noticed any negative outcomes of shifting at higher rpms or am I just babying the car unnecessarily?
Exactly what Tony said, keep up on checking the oil/topping it off and you should be good! I’ve had 0 issues getting the car up to 6500+rpm. Obviously everything in moderation, but it’ll be okay haha thanks for tuning in bro🙏🏼
A semi bright yellow 350z maxed out or even with some upgrades just not stock is my dream car obviously I would Want to buy stock then upgrade because it can be messy to buy a car that's built
HEY! i got my 08 for $2800!! BUT, i got it two years ago at auction and there was some fixable rear end damage. luckily my step dad has his own shop for that work so i got a deal on fixing her up. she's a great car.
been eying out z’s for a while now got the money but just been waiting for a good deal 🤷♂️ most likely might buy my brothers since he wants to buy another better one gonna go Monday so in 2 days I should have his z , his is a 6 spd 03 Le Mans sunset for about 10k cad, around 7k usd, 96K miles touring package so leather seats vcd traction control heated seats etc, with some mods done to it only internals are headers and straight piped dual exhaust, exterior wise 20 inch wheels with some nice black ruff tires, has some scratches on the paint and on tires that I’d definitely wanna clean up and front bumper has some holes and dent, but I’d wanna remove it anyways and add the nismo v3 bumper, as a whole im planning to also add some coil overs, side skirts and a nice little duckbills, for the internals get a plenum spacer test pipes pop charger tune camber arms to support lowering it etc , also would be my first car if I get it can’t go wrong with a Z for the price literally the best bang for your buck pretty good power stock, vq engine reliable, they have so much aftermarket support it’s insane, and come on it’s a 2 door sports car that is so beautiful stock as is with other mods like I mentioned earlier, literally beautiful
Great video**.....so I own a '06 350Z Base model.....it's been a great car....no major problems....EXCEPT.....it has the oil consumption issue.....do you have that issue?
Been wanting to get a 350z for the past couple months but seems like prices just keep going up. Is it foolish to hope they come back down once the production issues in the new car market get resolved?
Hey! Good question, personally I've been wondering the same thing. I've been hoping that maybe with more affordable electric cars taking a lot of media attention, more people will be inclined to get electric cars and more 350z's will come up on the market which will cause prices to drop a bit, but probably not by much. I think in the long run people will desire gas motors and these 350zs will be iconic in the Japanese car community so their prices will eventually continue to climb and hold their value. Thanks for the question and for tuning in!!🙏
Mines had 2 owners before me, wealthy guy had it from new part exchanged a pretty new at the time L200 and still paid 12k cash, then the other lad just before me definitely ran into problems he tried to shift off and in the grand scheme of things the cats were wrecked and the comb was moving around restricting airflow and causing power loss on and off depending how much the comb restricted this obviously scared the lad and he got rid of it so I got it for £6,000 with 60,000 miles on an 06 reg (de engine gt uk spec )
I’m looking at an 08 350z with 88k miles with 3+ owners. Has a Z1 performance clutch installed by a shop and Z1 dual catback. I would just like some feedback if it’s sketchy or not.
I’m buying a 350z from a close family member it’s got 135k miles interior is brand new and it’s got body mods and chameleon paint on the hood and roof they want 5500 and I’m 15 and wanna make sure I don’t get a car ima have to pay 10 grand to repair in the future what else should I look at on the car?
Don’t know much about this car except hp and torque. Had a few 240 and 260z as a kid and as well as my first car. Is the 350 a good car for a 17 year old? Looking for my son because I want him to have a z as I did but I’m afraid the power. (Don’t know anything about this car)
Hey Charlie! As far as I know, the 350z didn't come with Bluetooth, but it's pretty easy to install an aftermarket unit into the dash! Most people have already switched them out. I don't think I've even seen an OEM 350z radio in years! Mines got Bluetooth and aux! Appreciate you tuning in!!
I think Nissan knocked it out of the park with the 350z/370z design! I too haven't seen the new Z yet in person yet and can't wait! I appreciate your comment my friend!
pro tip: if the description says something along the lines of "traction control deleted" or "aftermarket rear quarter panels" stay away from it even if it is low mileage🤣
These are three good tips for buying any used car. And I HATE when a car is listed as a manual but it's really an automatic. Waste of my time and you missed anyone who wanted an auto.
Thanks to this video i were able to pick up a 04 350z for $4k. 200k miles but number of owners and maintenance records go A LONG way. Highest mileage car i bought but the one with the least ticking engine noise. Fun cars:)
is it worth it to buy a salvage title 2004 350z for 6000? im only 17 and trying to save up for a car to take me through college but im only gonna have around 8000 and im thinking of getitng a Eclipse, g35, or a 350z where a 350z would be my first option
Hey man, great question! These cars salvage for pretty much anything nowadays, so it might not have even been in that bad of an accident, but you never know... I would probably save/look around just a bit more and get a non-salvage title 350z! It's only the difference of a few grand, and will save you probably many headaches/grands in the future! Some salvage title cars are pretty clean though, so its really all about the maintenance records and how the owner treated it prior! Really appreciate your comment my friend!!
I understand what you mean, I check the oil once or twice a week and it's not too bad, just takes a min or two. Plus, popping the hood pretty often allows me to check everything else and gives me more confidence in the life of the motor. Appreciate you tuning in man!
Good question, I haven’t had much experience with aftermarket front bumpers for the 350z, but I’ve worked with a few GTR bumpers that were from Duraflex and none of them fit well/had proper mounting points. Whatever you do, buy from a reputable company! They might be a bit more pricey and still not fit 100% perfectly, but it’ll be closer to OEM then most of the cheap Duraflex pieces. Thanks for tuning in🙏🏼
350z
See it on a Cold start
Check oil and for metal spec’s
last time they got a oil change = 145$ in cost and labor
Look at coolant when cold
Check if hoses are dried out
Check cooling system = 60$ in cost and labor
Check spark plugs = 300$ in cost and labor
Check undercarriage
Check exhaust smoke
Check windshield = 315$ in cost and labor
Rev car to check for smoke
Check for calipers = 866$ in cost and labor
Idle should be at 800 when warm
Check how many owners
Check alignment
Check tire tread 800 = in cost and labor
Check vin for title
Check body panel alignment

gotta love the 350, great thing is usually somebody shouldn't need to do much to the car in terms of power. It's a great platform.

Currently saving for my 350Z, this is a great video - thank you. Your car looks great, I love the stance/wheels and that spoiler. Where can I pick that spoiler up? What’s it called?
I just picked up an 04 with 37k miles, one owner! I also live in the area.
I got lucky on mine. Bought an 06 with 145k on the body and the guy swapped a 50k mile engine from jdm of California and had a bunch of Z1 upgrades done, new wheels, and tires. New black paint job too. Got it for $7500
Subbed! Great vid. Currently looking for my 1st 350z. This helped. Thanks.
Peak business of traffic “2 o’clock” California for you.
I'm going down to get mine in two days, couldn't be more excited
yo you still got the Z?
@@haydenstonerock1750 yup
Got mine just before my birthday, 117k miles, 1 other owner, $10,800 for the car and just needs some fixing up like cosmetic stuff mostly but not in bad shape and most of it is cheap stuff so a plus
I bought my 350z convertible a few months I'm the second owner drove it from nc to ky nice ride but gotta paint it and do a few things but all and all a good car 🚗 ☺️
I love ❤️ the car
These are just general buying tips, not 350z specific...
You are correct! I’ve got one more specific to 350z’s in the works, appreciate you tuning in🙏🏼
perfect car, good video, looking to buy a 350z, earned a sub
Thanks for tuning in, appreciate the sub🙏🏼
I needed this video
Glad I could help!! Appreciate you tuning in!🙏
just copped a 80k mile single turb 350z for 3.5k 🥵🥵 shit didn’t run when I got it but kid changed the coolant system and left air in it.. couldn’t ever fully bleed it bc of the turbo setup so I rearranged it a bit bled air out and now it runs mint . Oh also I had to bypass a censor but we won’t talk about that... 🤣👍🏼👍🏼 good video g
No way!! Sounds like you got a deal😜 Would love to boost mine someday, enjoy that thing!! Thanks for tuning in man!
That was my homie sliding rehab🤣🤣
Thanks man great z great vid cant wait to get my own z!
Thank you bro, I really appreciate you!🙏 They are definitely fun cars, and you can't beat it for the price!
Thanks for the video! Man I love these cars!
I was thinking about doing a turbo kit for my z, do you think its worth it?? Love the vids can't wait to see you blow up. You deserve everything bro!!!
Specifically the rev9 turbo kit
Thank you so much bro, I appreciate the kind words🙏 I would definitely be interested in slapping a turbo kit on this thing eventually. I feel like once it's where I want it to be cosmetically, the turbo will be my final mod haha they're a bit pricey installed+tuned, but I do think its worth it. Hard to beat the sound of a screaming turbo VQ! Appreciate you tuning in man!🙌
My dream car is a 350z I’m 15 saving up for one hoping I have enough to get one by the time I turn 16
Great video bro 👌🏾💯
Thanks for the help man great video
im looking for a 350z currently and what are the chances, i also live in temecula across the street from pechanga. anyways youve got a new sub :)
Too good to be true is definitely a good one to look for I got a g35 for $5000 it ran really good for like 2 months then the motor shit itself because the last owner botched the swap
American roads are bump after a bump.. Can you not lay straight surface?
Nope taxes go to xkraine and the transformers
I'm currently looking at a 2007 Nissan 350Z Grand Touring Manul transmission convertible with 40K miles 2 owners asking price $18,795 Black/Black
I got mine from a car collector with one owner before him. Car only has 30k miles so I sent it even know it’s auto because the engine isn’t even broken in yet
Bro when u mentioned having passed 3800 i thought to myself, "this channel seems like itd be in the high 50k's" lol
Dang man, I really appreciate that! We'll be there someday! Hopefully soon haha thanks again for tuning in bro!
Watched 350 and 370z’s spin in chicago over the weekend. And now my car is looking sellable😂
Hahaha man nothing like the sound of Z’s sliding around! Appreciate you tuning in bro🙏🏼
Great tips!
It sounds great bro! What exhaust does it have?
I see a sports car dealership selling two 370z’s for 20k. A 2009 one has 57k miles and a 2014 or 2016 370z with 100k miles. Should that be suspicious since all 370z’s basically built the same? Both are base models and the 57k mile one had 1 owner and clean title.
Just bought my 350z for 7,000 it had a lot of stuff I had to replace but maintenance wise I only have 4 more things to fix and I’m good but I love the car
Hello! I’m looking at a
2003 Nissan 350Z
Manual/ AC&Heat work/
96,000Miles
Salvage title ( wrecked/ air bags went off)
* I notice rear right fender / bumper area scratched / dented. Was told insurance was going to total it but it was cosmetic damage / airbags that went off. The guy who owns it right now picked it up from the person who picked up the car.
1) would you purchase a de 350z? Is it “ worth “ getting a DE
2)should I wait it out or try to buy it off him? If so what would be reasonable price?
Once I turn 18 Im going to try to get a 350z hopefully the prices go down a bit one its that time
The act of buying a 350z is the greatest red flag.
What sup thanks for the vid! I have a 2003 350z with 121k miles. Car is almost in perfect condition. Just salvage Bcs of very very minor damage. Front bumper was broken that is all. Nothing else was damaged.
I am selling jt
Sounds like it’s pretty low miles!! I’d say you’d get a good amount for it; even with the salvage title! I appreciate your comment man🙌
Just bought a Z, but I'm tearing it down and putting a Barra into it lol, so I'm swapping almost everything but great video nonetheless.
Question, I saw that a lot of times you shift rather high in the rpms. I recently purchased a Z and the previous owner had the rev light at 5,000 so I haven’t really pushed it much beyond that for fear of causing undue stress on the car. Have you or anyone you’ve heard of noticed any negative outcomes of shifting at higher rpms or am I just babying the car unnecessarily?
The car loves it, just make sure you stay up on your oil changes don't use cheap oil
Exactly what Tony said, keep up on checking the oil/topping it off and you should be good! I’ve had 0 issues getting the car up to 6500+rpm. Obviously everything in moderation, but it’ll be okay haha thanks for tuning in bro🙏🏼
My z actually runs better the more I beat it. There sports cars don’t be scared man!
Nah i been abusing my rev up for a year and had no problems
there’s diff kind of engines in the Z HR(high rev) and think something like DE not too sure what the one is exactly called its more relaxed
A semi bright yellow 350z maxed out or even with some upgrades just not stock is my dream car obviously I would Want to buy stock then upgrade because it can be messy to buy a car that's built
HEY! i got my 08 for $2800!! BUT, i got it two years ago at auction and there was some fixable rear end damage. luckily my step dad has his own shop for that work so i got a deal on fixing her up. she's a great car.
That’s a great deal. Most Zs go for 5k-12k
@@BryanRacks 5k-12k? Where I’m from (the Netherlands) they go for between 10k and 25k euro’s keep in mind 12k with like 150k miles
The car sounds great! Is the exhaust aftermarket?
been eying out z’s for a while now got the money but just been waiting for a good deal 🤷♂️ most likely might buy my brothers since he wants to buy another better one gonna go Monday so in 2 days I should have his z , his is a 6 spd 03 Le Mans sunset for about 10k cad, around 7k usd, 96K miles touring package so leather seats vcd traction control heated seats etc, with some mods done to it only internals are headers and straight piped dual exhaust, exterior wise 20 inch wheels with some nice black ruff tires, has some scratches on the paint and on tires that I’d definitely wanna clean up and front bumper has some holes and dent, but I’d wanna remove it anyways and add the nismo v3 bumper, as a whole im planning to also add some coil overs, side skirts and a nice little duckbills, for the internals get a plenum spacer test pipes pop charger tune camber arms to support lowering it etc , also would be my first car if I get it can’t go wrong with a Z for the price literally the best bang for your buck pretty good power stock, vq engine reliable, they have so much aftermarket support it’s insane, and come on it’s a 2 door sports car that is so beautiful stock as is with other mods like I mentioned earlier, literally beautiful
Great video**.....so I own a '06 350Z Base model.....it's been a great car....no major problems....EXCEPT.....it has the oil consumption issue.....do you have that issue?
I’ve got the exact same car my friend. 06 base model with some oil consumption! Still runs like a champ tho haha thanks for tuning in🙏🏼
I just bought an 07 350z for 5k with 205k I’m the 5th owner nothing wrong with it just done the preventative maintenance
5k for an HR with any mileage is pretty good!! Great pick up🙏 Thanks for tuning in man!
Been wanting to get a 350z for the past couple months but seems like prices just keep going up. Is it foolish to hope they come back down once the production issues in the new car market get resolved?
Hey! Good question, personally I've been wondering the same thing. I've been hoping that maybe with more affordable electric cars taking a lot of media attention, more people will be inclined to get electric cars and more 350z's will come up on the market which will cause prices to drop a bit, but probably not by much. I think in the long run people will desire gas motors and these 350zs will be iconic in the Japanese car community so their prices will eventually continue to climb and hold their value. Thanks for the question and for tuning in!!🙏
It's definitely worth it thoe!! I picked one up 3 months ago and it's my daily now. Sure there has been a few things to fix but totally worth it man.
after searching "used 350z price" how lovely
Good video but title was a little misleading. I thought these red flags would be more 350z oriented
Mines had 2 owners before me, wealthy guy had it from new part exchanged a pretty new at the time L200 and still paid 12k cash, then the other lad just before me definitely ran into problems he tried to shift off and in the grand scheme of things the cats were wrecked and the comb was moving around restricting airflow and causing power loss on and off depending how much the comb restricted this obviously scared the lad and he got rid of it so I got it for £6,000 with 60,000 miles on an 06 reg (de engine gt uk spec )
Again, LOVE the POV!
Awesome!!🙏 I enjoy it too haha more to come. Thanks for tuning in brotha!
One more video like this bro
Coming up soon!!🙏🏼 Red flags pt2!
I’m looking at an 08 350z with 88k miles with 3+ owners. Has a Z1 performance clutch installed by a shop and Z1 dual catback. I would just like some feedback if it’s sketchy or not.
What kind off exhaust you got? I like the sound....
I’m buying a 350z from a close family member it’s got 135k miles interior is brand new and it’s got body mods and chameleon paint on the hood and roof they want 5500 and I’m 15 and wanna make sure I don’t get a car ima have to pay 10 grand to repair in the future what else should I look at on the car?
Thank you !!! I’m being one in 3 weeks
Awesome! I hope it goes well :) Thanks for tuning in!!
Don’t know much about this car except hp and torque. Had a few 240 and 260z as a kid and as well as my first car. Is the 350 a good car for a 17 year old? Looking for my son because I want him to have a z as I did but I’m afraid the power. (Don’t know anything about this car)
Does any of the 350z models/trims come with Bluetooth or an aux port?
Hey Charlie! As far as I know, the 350z didn't come with Bluetooth, but it's pretty easy to install an aftermarket unit into the dash! Most people have already switched them out. I don't think I've even seen an OEM 350z radio in years! Mines got Bluetooth and aux! Appreciate you tuning in!!
Side roads in America are even bigger than the main roads in like Germany
I think Nissan knocked it out of the park with the 350z/370z design! I too haven't seen the new Z yet in person yet and can't wait! I appreciate your comment my friend!
Bro you live by me in Ca i have a Z roadster dont know many people out here . Would be down to cruise 💯
i need help im trying to buy one but idk if i should it has the things it has and for 5,500 is pretty good i wish i could show u show u can help me
Don't buy one! The 300ZX and the new Z are great cars. Stay away from 350Z and 370Z.
pro tip: if the description says something along the lines of "traction control deleted" or "aftermarket rear quarter panels" stay away from it even if it is low mileage🤣
Really? Don’t know a lot about cars and was thinking about getting a 350z is that on any other cars or on these only?
HR is king, 3 red flags:
#1 don't buy a de
#2 don't buy a revup
#3 it's an auto
These are three good tips for buying any used car. And I HATE when a car is listed as a manual but it's really an automatic. Waste of my time and you missed anyone who wanted an auto.
Thanks to this video i were able to pick up a 04 350z for $4k. 200k miles but number of owners and maintenance records go A LONG way. Highest mileage car i bought but the one with the least ticking engine noise. Fun cars:)
I got a Pearl white 350z with 200k miles a few weeks back too! Guy took amazing care of the engine and it’s such an amazing car
@@jaehongjun842 that's great man i still love this car even though one week later it got into and accident. Can be saved but will need some work
Update on the car? Wanna know how good a vq is before buying one
i found a cool z and planning to get soon do you think i can send it to u for an opinion?
“This is a neighborhood so we can’t go too fast”
*2 seconds later bro drops a gear ☠️
is it worth it to buy a salvage title 2004 350z for 6000? im only 17 and trying to save up for a car to take me through college but im only gonna have around 8000 and im thinking of getitng a Eclipse, g35, or a 350z where a 350z would be my first option
Hey man, great question! These cars salvage for pretty much anything nowadays, so it might not have even been in that bad of an accident, but you never know... I would probably save/look around just a bit more and get a non-salvage title 350z! It's only the difference of a few grand, and will save you probably many headaches/grands in the future! Some salvage title cars are pretty clean though, so its really all about the maintenance records and how the owner treated it prior! Really appreciate your comment my friend!!
Rev up is the only z I wouldn’t get. My 04 is fantastic. Gonna stay away from the rev up.
The rev up is far better than the standered de...
@@joshhall2323 Not a fan with howmuch oil they can burn
I understand what you mean, I check the oil once or twice a week and it's not too bad, just takes a min or two. Plus, popping the hood pretty often allows me to check everything else and gives me more confidence in the life of the motor. Appreciate you tuning in man!
@@JohnnyB. of course man, I’ll keep tuning in :) keep up the good work.
@@sheetcvnt6132 I’ve seen a couple of 04 350Z, should I get it? I’ve been thinking about it.
any tips for getting a new front bumper? and is it worth going to a body shop to get it fitted?
Good question, I haven’t had much experience with aftermarket front bumpers for the 350z, but I’ve worked with a few GTR bumpers that were from Duraflex and none of them fit well/had proper mounting points. Whatever you do, buy from a reputable company! They might be a bit more pricey and still not fit 100% perfectly, but it’ll be closer to OEM then most of the cheap Duraflex pieces. Thanks for tuning in🙏🏼
@@JohnnyB. actually i like your setup, just oem bumper with a front lip, keep it clean. thanks!
