NOTE: This is a reposting, and information has been updated after going through some maintenance (plus a few more miles on the odometer). For sale: an unmodified, low-mileage, regularly maintained, manual transmission convertible 350Z. I've owned it for 5 years, and when I bought the car, this was a pretty rare combination - current eBay and CarGurus listings seem to confirm this. If you're local (Houston area), I can schedule a test drive if you'd like: weekday evenings and most weekends are ok.Mileage will increase from what is listed, since I drive it about 13 miles per day. I'm not going to go into detailed specs with crazy fonts - if you're looking for this model, you've doubtless done your research already. This is the Touring Roadster model, and the specs are easily available. Features: This car's greatest feature may be its lack of features. No aftermarket rims, dubious entertainment systems, air coolers - nothing. Previous (and 1st) owner installed a LoJack system, and this was professionally removed. Unfortunately, when I bought the car it did not come with a key fob, so only 2 master keys come with it. History: I'm the second owner (last 5 years) and am a non-smoker. Car was originally bought in California and the owner moved to Texas, where I bought it from a dealer. I have all maintenance records, including regular oil changes. Many typical Z problems have been encountered and fixed so you don't have to deal with them, including:Quick-draining battery: removed previous owner-installed LoJack, now has a 1-yr old battery.Tear in convertible roof behind driver's side window: replaced entire roof in 2015. Not OEM, but comparable and probably better - the OEM roof tends to rip along a certain joint in the top frame.Hydraulic pressure too low to fully return clutch pedal: replaced slave cylinder and associated lines, known to be faulty on the 350Z.Low oil pressure at idle: replaced timing chain cover, tensioners, oil filter, and water filter. This is an expensive fix that can happen around 60,000 miles on Zs.Convertible retracting mechanism: Fixed open/close switch 1 year ago, but had to go back and repair the fifth bow motor when the brushes failed.Driver's side door: interior plastic latch mechanism broke, replaced with OEM handle.Other fixed issues:Bad pothole-->bent rim and blown tire: replaced all 4 tires (2015) and replaced broken rim with OEM.Front bumper cover got dinged on garage entry: non-OEM replacement, but comparable quality.Condition: As mentioned in the "condition" section the car has some wear and tear. There's a chip (sealed, at least) in the paint on the deck lid/convertible top cover, a few minor scratches on the front and rear bumper covers, and minor blemishes here and there on the rims. The interior shows a worn shift knob and driver's seat. Otherwise, the car is in great condition. In the 5 years I've owned it, the car has been garage-kept for 2.5 yrs, parked outside for 1.5, and under a carport for 1 year. I didn't want to bombard visitors with 40 pictures, so I took just the critical ones. Please let me know if there's a specific angle, part, or issue you'd like to see and I can send those.
