Like the title says: Has anyone owned a 350z? If so is it reliable? What are or were your thoughts on it? Should I buy one?

Thanks NS!
 
wat. i have no knowledge of cars or anything youre saying. but.... i just took a joy ride in my dads old rx7, mmmmmm the purr of the rotary engine mmmmmm
 
I've spent a lot of time in a 370z and just a bit in a 350 and I can say they are both great cars. As is the case with most Nissans they well built, powertrain is solid, both the 350 and 370 are sharp looking(Maybe the 370 a bit more...ok a lot more). In terms of its performance I say "meh" for both, I've seen better, but hey for the price it's a good car. There are a lot of aftermarket options for the 350 as well.
 
the 300 was waaaay cooler.....especially the twin turbo'd 300z. man that car was fun as fuck to drive.

350z isn't bad though. kind of heavy, but a decent vehicle. one of my friends drove one for a few years. personally, i wouldn't buy one. you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere.
 
I don't get your poll 3 fairly different cars. TCs are a glorified corolla so I would stay away from that option. Personally I'd go with a 350z never driven one but seems to be a pretty sweet car with lots of aftermarket stuff available. Just be careful buying used a car that many people just beat up.
 
You could get a better car for the cost of the cars in the poll, v6 mustang, well thats for bitches, TC is strying to sporty but its a 2 door corolla, needs to handle better. 350z is a good choice for these the 3.5 v6 sounds fucking sexy and it handles well. I do believe on top gear jeremy said it was very stiff but im not sure. Of the 3 Id go Nissan but you can get some better options.
 
Considering you said 350 and not 370, I'm guessing you're looking at a used one. And assuming you're of the same general age as most NSers, you're not looking at a low mileage used one. Nissans are great cars until they hit about 90k miles. They're not cheap to fix and they have multi-chambered catalytic converters, which tend to be the first things to go. Every time you have to get a cat fixed it's almost $1000. I own a 2000 Nissan Maxima and from 95k to the current 150k miles I've probably dumped close to $9,000 into it.

Just a warning that if the 350 you're looking at is riiiiiight around 85,000 miles, you've got just about 6 months before your pockets will be promptly drained.

If you're buying used and you want something with pickup on the cheap: buy domestic, or buy toyota.

Thanks for the info. I did more research and people did not have issues with the catalytic converters with the 350z. Issues o the z starts around 150k miles.
