should I not buy 370z?

7speed · 03-05-2014, 04:10 PM

Any car can have issues. I have 09 , I bought used at 38,000 mi and 1 week later I heard rod knock. So I got short block replaced. About 1 yr later 50,000 mi , I have valve cover leak and cam cover leak, so they are also changing coil packs and spark plugs . I believe this is related to short block job Nissan dealer did, so to accommodate me I don't need to pay deductible. Whatever you do get extended warranty, because any issue like this you would be out thousands, instead of just deductible.

First time short block job took 2wks, this time around waiting for coil packs and fixing cam cover , it's almost 3 wks that I don't have my car but warranty covers a loaner each time.
So again get extended warranty for any "expensive parts" car.

Is it just me or the OP complaining about a car before he has even bought it a little weird

OP, if you are already worried about having to fix things on your Z that breaks when you don't even on one yet.............

That seems a little crazy and maybe you should not be driving period

What's so weird about researching common issues with a car you're considering buying? Isn't that what you're supposed to do?

imo I would get the touring w sports package manual. Its a rare combination and all the goodies that come with a touring make it worth it. The Nismo is bare boned creature comforts.

I learned the hard way to get an extended warranty with any used sports car. 370z aren't as expensive to fix when compared to other foreign sports cars.

My biggest complaint is the blind spots on the car.

but if he's buying used.... he should be asking the owner of the vehicle in question if there has been any repairs, recalls, or any issues.

Asking questions about costs of things that hasn't happened to vehicle he doesn't own is being a little too paranoid

We all know cars break down right, no matter what make or model....
If someone is concerned to the extent that they open a thread in a forum about our beloved 370z breaking with multiple issues..... I think for the OP he should buy a brand new one, or find one with existing warranty. That kind of goes for what ever he/she buys....

OP if you have that much concern about a vehicle failing... buy new or one with warranty. All your problems will be solved with warranty

Shop wisely brother

Am i the only one who is tired of seeing all these threads on" should i buy a 370z"???
There's like 50 of them.
All cars break. If u can afford this car, u can afford to fix it. If u can't afford repairs on a vehicle A smart person would buy something they can afford.
All cars have their problems. EVERY SINGLE ONE. if the OP doesn't realize that???
They need to rethink this car thing.
