Been looking for a while for something i havent had yet. A nissan 350z sounds pretty good right about now. Now to find a touring model since i love leather and all the extra bells and whistles. Now the hard part is purchasing one that hasnt been beat to crap buy a young kid or made into a drift car, since drifting is the "in thing" now. I still own my 300zx, fun little car just bored with it. But the possibilities of a 350z are endless for me. Definitely gotta re freshen up the engine and suspension. Any in put on them, pros and cons? I been searching the 350 forums for a while now, so been learning as much as i can. Anyone have real world experiences with them??

That's an 06 6 speed, so it has the RevUp engine. Priced well though, looks clean!

So wasted a weekend going to look at the z, lets just say those pictures are not of that car. The inside was dirty, not detailed, it was in a accident but never reported, horrible over spray job and blending. Drove it for a whole 15 mins after i let it warm up the temp went through the roof. They lied their ass off on it. After i was done looking at it, young kid with mom and dad looked at the car and were about to do paperwork on it, didnt even test drive. I feel bad for them. So the hunt is on pause now. If one pops up ill check it out, just seems like the Z idea is fading away day by day haha
