you probably seen my last thread anyways...
i been looking for a g35 6mt or 350z 6mt for my next car i owned a 2004 g35 coupe for 3 years already. i was going to get a black g35 6mt but it was sold the day i went to look at it. i found a 2006 350z 6mt 68kmiles (out of warranty) and had it inspected by a local nissan dealer (payed for the "99 point inspection") only thing it needed is a brake job. my main worry is oil consumption. i asked one of the workers there about it and he said that he has seen only a few come in for that. i know that an oil consumption test takes 1000 miles, i dont want to buy the car and then find out about it consuming oil. well i was thinking to myself if it had oil consumption i dont think it would of lasted 68k miles. What should i do?

If properly maintained, an engine with the OC issue will still last a while. Overhauling the engine will fix the issue.

 

Luis, look for a later model with less miles or even one with an extended warranty. I can see how you might feel, 68K miles and no net to catch you with that Z. Would it be worth it for you to buy a Nissan extended warranty for a year if you really like this '06 350Z? Something to consider, Good Luck hope you find what you're looking for....

today i called the dealer to ask for the built date of the 350z it was built september 2005 i have read somewhere that some 2006 models the oil consumption was not a problem depending on built date. my question is would this built date be affected with oil consumption?

i personally have the 04. If you really dont wanna deal with it just go to the 03-04 and be wry free. But its gets tricky trying to find an extremely low mileage G in those yrs GL

 

i called nissan north america and gave them the vin number of the car they said that their is no outstanding recall for it, my question is can they know if it has oil consumption with just the vin?

^no.

 

thanks, thats exactly what i thought

 

i did listen to your advice gary and i found a 07 350z 6mt, 36k miles. im glad i waited the only thing that im worried about is what i have read on the forums about the clutch petal sticking or not coming up all the way, what would be the fix for that if it was to happen??

thanks
