SO Just How Reliable Are The 370's....Looking at Buying Used

NickTurnon · 07-25-2013, 10:32 AM

I got an '09 with 25k on it 2 years ago-
Only issues have been steering lock (left me stranded with a $175 tow).

"Also looking at C5 Z06's, Audi S4's, and BMW 335i's. This is going to be a long-term car for me. I want to find something I love and keep it for a long time, which will be a new experience for me!"

z06 will be much faster - less quality interior by a long shot, maybe more mechanical issues.
s4 - older gen has around the same hp as the 370z, except its AWD. Interior is better. Worse MPG. EXPENSIVE Maintenance. EXPENSIVE Parts.
335i - Nicest interior IMO. Fast, but around the same as 370z without bolt ons. Parts are expensive. Service is expensive. Itll last a long time (probably til turbos go or another part breaks).
