be careful, they don't have traction control so they're one of the most dangerous cars for teens. Ie they hydro into curbs, alot...

[@ppbbuuopposition2444]

Hey do any of you guys know where I can purchase a 350 z and what year should I get when I find one. I’m 17 and I’m tryna get into cars so it would be good if I buy a 350 z and start my process of modding it

[@jay2x477]

Bro that’s crazy I’m 17 too and I’m looking for one I have a 6k budget but unfortunately because of the inflation in vehicle prices it doesn’t seem as if that’s enough but I’m gonna keep looking

[@JohnnyB.]

Hey! The 350z is a great platform to start with! I'm not sure where you're located, but I always find pretty good deals on OfferUp! @Jay2x is right though, the inflation right now on used cars is pretty high. I think it will go down within the next year or so, but not by much. I'd say a good condition 350z with continue to rise in value as they just get harder to find! Could be worth 15k+ in the future! I'd say right now, anything under 150k miles for around $6,500-$8,500 is a good deal! Clean title preferably, but that also gets harder and harder to find every day lol The 07 and 08 model years will rise in value the fastest as they're the most refined version of the car with the VQ35HR!

Personally, any year 350z is going to be great, but if you're looking to burn the least amount of oil, I'd go for an 03-04! You could go 07-08, but they're getting quite expensive, so act quick! :D Thanks for commenting!

Thinking about purchasing one that may need a new battery + alternator. Do you think it would be good to purchase or should I wait for another one to come into the market?

[@JohnnyB.]

Hey! A battery and alternator isn’t too bad if you’re getting a pretty good deal! Hard to know if there’s anything else that needs work though! If you go to check it out, make sure it’s cold and have him jump it with you there. Check the oil before he starts the car! A lot of people will jump the car and get it running before you get there to inspect. Hope it helps! Keep me posted🙏🏼🙌

Hey I’m 17 and male. Will the insurance be something to overly worry about for a 350z? (I have a part time job)

[@islami658]

Get insured under your parents name

[@Toymonkeyjr]

I'm 18 and I was quoted for 133$ under my parents and I work part time, I could afford that but it'd consider more of parts and maintenance especially for older z's to cost more, getting insurance for a z right now by yourself would be killer but once you are 18 it would probably be 200-350$ a month depending on where you live

[@VQDE_RobLee]

While under your parents policy it will raise their premium. Eventually you will have to you get your own insurance which will kick your @$$.. until you hit 25 or get married.

[@juxzir3665]

@@islami658 Thank you means a lot

[@JohnnyB.]

Hey! It really depends I think. When I got my own policy, I actually ended up paying less each month. I just turned 24 and have two speeding tickets on my record I'm waiting to fall off lol Personally, I thought It was going to be a bit more, but I pay $133/month in Insurance for both cars, which is a steal I think! Also, I think owning the Miata helps because its listed as my main vehicle, not the Z. I think it would be a lot more if I had the Z as my primary vehicle. Either way, you could always call the insurance people before you get the car, and get an estimate :) Thanks for commenting!!

[@primatology6221]

Sir where can i buy 350z?

[@JohnnyB.]

Hey! I actually found mine on craigslist, but I see plenty of 350z's on OfferUp for a pretty reasonable price! Also, check Facebook Marketplace, sometimes good deals on there too! Another tip would be to check everyday, in the morning between 8:00am and 12:00pm, a lot of people wake up and decide they want to sell a car and you've got to be there to take it off their hands haha! Goodluck, and let me know if you find any good deals or have any questions!

[@d3admaub938]

@@psychedeliceuphoria in my opinion buying an already tuned car isn’t a good idea, most likely the previous owner was trashing the hell out of it. You’ll probably have to spend a lot of money on repairs/maintenance plus you don’t know if the person did a good job modifying the car. Try to look for something completely stock and then tune it yourself, especially with a 335i tuning is super easy. You can go from 300 to 400 hp with a charge pipe intake and MHD tune which you can download on your phone. Overall tho what’s your main goal with the car? Just outright power? If so I’d probably go with the stock 335i and tune it, if you’re up for that. If you’re tryna slide n stuff I’d go with a 350z.

[@d3admaub938]

@@psychedeliceuphoria that being said sometimes you can find already tuned 335i’s that are in solid condition, but they will be very expensive

[@psychedeliceuphoria]

@@d3admaub938 okay, do you think the reasons for which I want the 350z are rational? I want it because it reminds me of my dearest memory from my childhood... NFS Underground 2 It comes with amazing exhaust sound from the factory (this one has prolly a different exhaust so better noise) HENCE I want to be NOTICED when I drive around... and people will notice 😅 It is a jdm car... I consider it to be amongst the most legendary cars known in jdm... rx7, r34 etc And it isn't being produced anymore so I'm one of the "few" owning one... and it might rise in value over the years despite mileage etc. Overall THIS car has exterior tuning already done, front splitter, side skirts, spoiler... everything, sport seats...

What about that rev🤨😂

[@purkeyy4019]

the engine has been replaced is that a red flag? it had 200k miles previously and now has 30k

[@JohnnyB.]

Not necessarily a red flag, it could have just been that the previous owner didn't know the car burned oil and ever added any... Only red flag for me would be if they got the engine swapped and there is NO receipts/proof of it happening. I'd only go for it, if there was proof a reputable shop did the swap, the proper miles on the new engine were recorded/verified and wherever they got the new engine is reputable as well. People on craigslist will say anything to get the sale sometimes, so just be cautious and always look for proof! Great question, I appreciate you tuning in!!
