Thinking of buying 2005 350z

[Nivek4209]

Hi folks I'm thinking of buying a 2005 350 it's got 33000 miles and is the gt spec

I'm mechanic by trade so am fine with the visible things but are there any hidden gremlins I need to know about before I go looking tomorrow

Nope

No big list of things to look out for that's good anyway

Went to a rally school recently and they had a 350 as their drift car I was hooked within 5 laps

I've had 2 imprezas and various other so called fast cars but now the wrong side of 40 a bit of comfort and decent torque is a nice thought

I'm not looking for an ass out all day on every coroner car but one that will if I want it to

Have I got the right car ??

Yes mate.....Great car and if you look at the specs far faster than many people think they are. Luvly to drive, loads of grunt

Good to know but if he doesn't answer the phone I can't look at it

I have no issue with a car having had paint before but not wanting a repaired write off obviously

I'd guess 80% of all cars get car park dings scratched and light damage at some point in their life

And not all panel beaters should be panel beaters )

[Nivek4209]

Blue one gone off Internet

Might explain why he didn't answer the phone

 

[mick-r1]

just as well, it was a write off, the whole passo side of it was what looked to be rattle canned, id a quick look over it over a year ago, then i believe gt driver had a look at it too when he was looking for one

[Nivek4209]

What about the metal grey one in Dublin 6€

Some one else looking today but if they don't take it I'm gonna check it out

The blue one at 4 grand isn't commercial converted and doesn't sound too well minded just my impression from talking to seller

[mick-r1]

Its not done? Strange seen as its advertised as it is.

 

Silver one I actually done know anything about. Didnt really look at the silver ones. Not a fan of the colour on a zed tbh.

[Nivek4209]

I lke the outside colour if it had black leather I'd love it

Yea the blue one has nothing done to commercialise it

[mick-r1]

They dont need anything done its all paperwork. Bit of a grey area too but can be done.

[Nivek4209]

There's rumour of the small goods commercial tax getting a big hike in the next budget it's an easy target seen as it's comparatively cheap and commercial vehicles generally do more miles on our roads

Might make it pointless
