If buying used, either go with a Nissan certified pre-owned or find a private party that has a documented history of the car. Neither of these will offer you 100% assurance that the car won't have any issues but you'll be stacking the deck in your favor this way.

You didn't indicate in your post if you've driven a 370Z yet. I would make that your first priority. When my Z32TT died, I wasn't completely sold on going with a 370Z until after I drove 5 or 6 used ones. Full disclosure: I ended up buying a new '12 but I was very close to picking up a used '11 when the new one with all the features I wanted popped up.

Good luck with the search.

well i don't care about little problems a car will have. but more about major drive train components. but yes i know what to look for, in terms of getting one that is not beat up. i know what will fail in a car that was driven hard.

again never bought a used car before. i would guess a certified used will cost more in general ?

i am going from a boat of a camrao, a 370z drives great. i have driven one.
