Cracked Head Gasket

if the maintenance headache that this car will cause seems worth it to you then by all means pull the trigger

So you're saying those two threads are indicative of what all z owners will experience?

No, i'm saying Nissan provides poor service and resolution to issues and that the car has a proven track record of unreliability. So if your lucky and the car is reliable good for you but there is a good chance your in for some trouble and to consider that before buying a nissan.

A good chance? Let's not be unreasonable. If something goes wrong, service can be a crapshoot, but your experience is not at all the norm.

Where did I say my experience was the norm? You can gain a lot of information from Nissan's handling of my issue though. In short they don't care. If your car turns out to be a lemon they DO NOT stand behind it, despite a "warranty".

A reliable 370Z has nothing to do with luck. I would be interested to hear a valid argument for why you claim "the car has a proven track record of unreliability". I'm sorry you had a terrible experience with Nissan, but your claim is completely baseless.

I hope people understand that no car manufacturer out there is bullet proof. How about BMW? How about Audi? They are "notorious" for defects too. Yes you do see people complaining on the internet about their car broke down while majority of people are fine with theirs and there is no need for them to report to the internet that their cars are running fine. Just because you see people had issues with their cars on the internet here and there doesn't mean they are the majority of the owner. And doesn't mean that particular car manufacturer is unreliable.

The first thing I did with both of my 370Z's was to pull the "Randomly Fail a Part" fuse.

No trouble since...

Yea I don't disagree with that .The issue becomes how does the manufacturer react to problems? Do they actually fix them? Do they correct manufacturing defects? Are they actually concerned with the quality of their product? In Nissan's case my experience has been no to all those questions.

So I'd just like to alert op to this potential possibility. Its highly likely you will have an issue of some sort, especially with a used car. Don't count on Nissan to fix it though even if its under warranty!

I hope he loved the car. He needs to select his next care wisely as it will be his last at that rate.
