I've been looking for my first 350Z, but have to admit only looked at standard GT cars so far. Just out of curiosity what effect do all the mods have on your insurance? My insurer (Elephant) says that even if they insure a modified car any replacement parts in the event of a crash would be for stock parts which seems a bit unfair as the charge extra insurance for any little mod at all!

Also, does the lowered suspension give you any trouble with speed bumps?

Thanks for the welcome and tips guys. I've emailed the seller to see if he has replaced the clutch/exhaust.

The Parkers price, corrected for mileage, for a 2004 04 GT at 65k is 10k these days so if he hasn't replaced these parts I will have to offer less.

I'm sure the current prices depress existing owners, but to me it's great - until I try and sell my lovely - albeit relatively slow - MX-5 I suppose!

Thanks for the welcome and response.

Good point about the clutch, any idea how much one would cost?

Maybe I should avoid a high-miler after all!!

Hi all, I am a newbie and looking to get at my first 350Z soon.

One I am considering is a 2004 GT with approx. 65,000 miles which is above average so I was wondering whether I should budget for a new exhaust fairly soon. Does anyone have an idea how long (miles/age) a stock cat and/or exhaust should last?

I may be able to negotiate the seller down if I need to replace these parts soon, so any advice will be appreciated; hopefully I'll be driving my first 350z before too long!
