should I not buy 370z?

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.
