Buying used Z , should I avoid the 2009model.?
 
Is there a lot of issues or any issues
I should know about that the 2009 370z have compared to the newer 2010 doesn't have???



What should I look for when buying a used 2009 z?

No issues at all. The only thing I can think of is the 2009's don't have a factory installed cabin air filter installed. But you can add one yourself. LOL

I think they also have heated outside rearview mirrors...or that is the 2011... :confused:

BTW, No problems so far with my 2009.

2010 got heated side mirrors.

I want heated mirrors dangit.

Not a whole lot has changed, even compared to the upcoming 2012's, so any model year you can get a deal on is fine. As some have stated, the only "update" worth mentioning is the heated mirror. Also, a used 40th is worth looking into if you're in the market.

My mirrors bring all the reflections to the yard,
and I'm like, they're hotter than yours.

mine is a slightly used (7,000) 09' and have had a few issues with it. Injectors went bad and now the tranny is acting funny. But I wouldn't narrow it down to the year...it could happen to ANY car.

Econ 06-13-2011 02:35 PM

all the same....

09 bought brand new, i currently have 66.5k miles on it with no issues

Econ 06-13-2011 03:44 PM

thats an envious amount of miles you got there

2009 and early (pre April?) 2010 cars could have the oil consumption issue, but most don't (mine doesn't even heat the oil!).

It is possible the ECU doesn't make the high-pitched whine that a few 2009 made. It is slightly possible the interior noise is slightly reduced in late 2009 models.

I wouldn't worry about it. I got an extended warranty with mine, verified the previous owner had stretched an oil change, and was fine.

I've got a slightly used (12.5k miles) '09 and I've had no issues whatsoever. Haven't heard of any either (aside from the oil temp issue, but that's prevalent across the board).

ZOLE 06-13-2011 05:33 PM

Have an '09 as well. No issues that any other years aren't having.
