This past Saturday I saw a 2006 Convertible at a local dealer and went to check it out. they offered $2000 for my car in trade in but would not reduce the price on the Z. Upon further check in I found that2006 Zs have a oil consumption issue on earlier manufactured models. Also have CSC (Concentric Slave Cylinder) failure issues due to plastic parts. So good thing that I did not buy that car. I offered a decent price but they would not come down due to low miles on the car. I had a strange feeling of betrayal.

Thanks Box and Richee3. Over the weekend I did some search on the Z forums. The early 2009 and 10 370z had the CSC issue with transmission oil leaking through the Concentric Slave Cylinder. there was an after marked fix and the plastic parts were later replaced by metallic parts. Clutch hitting the floor was the problem because of the CSC on first two years. The 11 to 17 are apparently fine and go for high dollars. The car I looked at drove nice, however, had engine check light ON and the dealer was willing to look into it but not reducing the price. This model did have the Rev-up engine with 6 speed manual. This ws the Enthusiast level in the Convertible. (Conv. only came in 3 trim levels for 2006.). Overall it is a nice car but with all the complaints about this model, I can wait to find another one or another car. so now it makes sense why 2007, 08 and 09 are not readily available.
Another one on my list is Lexus 450 SC. There are few of those around but the early 2002 03 models. What do you guys know about this car. I read a few articles and visited the forum. Apparently it has a V8 in it and is hard top conv. This post has been edited by msk59: Jan 30, 2017 - 12:42 PM |
