For Sale 2005 Nissan 350z Touring 6-speed manual
2 owner, no accidents, no break downs, no problems. 88,000 original miles.
We are the second owners of the car, we purchased it at 18,000 miles from an older couple in upstate New York in 2011. They garaged the car 100% of the time. It has never seen snow in any way whatsoever! In fact it has never stayed outside overnight, they garaged it, and we garaged it. We moved to California in 2012 and since that point, it has been a well cared for daily driver. It is the most reliable car we have ever owned. It has NEVER broken down, NEVER had a check engine light, only ever needed maintenance, and it has been driven cross country.
Here is 100% of the work that has ever been done to the car:
Many oil changes, every 3,000 miles without exception.
Several air filters until changing to a K&N filter, which is cleaned regularly
The first set of tires replaced in 2011, next in 2014, and most recently in 2016
The rear differential and transmission fluid changed at 30k and 60k (LSD additive)
The brake pads and rotors in 2012, and again in 2016
Wiper blades replaced as needed
Rear hatch lift struts changed in 2016
Battery in 2016
The coolant was changed in 2017!
THAT IS EVERYTHING, LITERALLY ALL THE MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AND NO REPAIRS
I cannot stress enough, it needs nothing, this car has never been worked on and hacked up. Still all original. The original owners had five oil changes performed at the Nissan dealership, then we purchased it from them and I have performed all of the maintenance myself, with the exception of one oil change, which was done at Torre Nissan in La Quinta CA. Why the one oil change? Because I changed it literally the week before we drove cross country, and the drive was 3,000 miles. We got here and because I did not want to go over the 3,000 miles and all of my tools were in my moving trailer, we rolled right into the Nissan dealership and had them do the oil change. I have the paperwork, it was at 29,000 miles. NO ONE ELSE HAS EVER TOUCHED THE CAR. The reason I put so much emphasis on this is because I am and ASE certified master automotive technician. I work on cars professionally and am extremely meticulous about how work is performed. I will attach a picture of my certifications to show proof. I realize this is now a 12 year old car, but it has been our baby, this was my wife’s dream car and it has been treated like it is a $100,000 car. She takes great care of things and I am semi OCD with maintenance and cleaning. She drives to her job at an elementary school every day. She gets there early to park under awning so it is not in the sun. She comes home and pulls straight into the garage. If it is going to rain she takes my truck. As soon as the oil change is due, I take it to work and do the maintenance, whatever it needs at that point will be done. When we bought the car I was an automotive technician, now I am an automotive instructor at a community college. I have always had access to the facilities required to perform any type of maintenance or repair. All it ever costs me is the parts, so if it needs ANYTHING AT ALL, it gets. It. Again, this is my wife’s dream car and happy wife, happy life. Knowing cars, and how much of a difference this makes, I cannot even say how much of a value this is, it is priceless really. Anyway, more about the actual car.
All 350z’s come with a lot of great options including:
Power windows, locks, mirrors
Cruise control
Leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob
Xenon HID headlamps
ABS
And many other standard options
This is the touring model which means it also comes with:
Bose audio with 6 disc CD changer, amplifier, 7 speakers and subwoofer from the factory
Limited slip rear differential
Heated leather seats
Traction Control and Vehicle Dynamic Control
Carbon fiber driveshaft
Front and rear strut tower braces
Slightly larger 18 inch with 245/45r18 rear tires
Automatic temperature control
Homelink (garage door opener in rear view mirror)
Aluminum foot pedals
Aluminum interior accents
6-speed manual transmission
Rear windshield wiper
It also had extra options when it was custom ordered which include:
Aerodynamics package ($530)
Z floor mats and trunk cargo mats, and seatback organizer ($240)
Splash guards ($130)
Aluminum kick plates ($100)
Upgraded 18 inch wheels ($1660)
The person we bought it from ordered it with these options, it was the top of the line most expensive you could buy at that time. The one and only option he did not select was navigation. The navigation systems in 2005 were not very user friendly so I am happy he did not.
The color is super black
The interior is black leather
The windows have been tinted 20%
The tail lights, maker lights, and back up lights have been tinted
All of the tint is 100% removable, the lights are perfect underneath, we like the look but if you are concerned it can come off. I will remove it for you if you would prefer.
We have upgraded the brakes to drilled/slotted EBC
The bose sound system is excellent, and we have an IPOD adapter that we love. I will include the adapter/ipod dock.
The wheels are OEM Nissan wheels that I had sent out to San Francisco to have custom powdercoated, face machined, then polished. They are one of a kind without being junky universal fit aftermarket wheels. Still the factory fit and finish, with a better look. Cost $1800.
Other than this, the car is 100% stock. I think it should go to a collector, or at least a Nissan Z enthusiast!
-Mechanically 100%, would absolutely say to fly in and drive it anywhere in the country.
-The interior is exceptionally clean for its age, not perfect but will not disappoint. The leather has been treated regularly to make it last
- The exterior is good, the paint shines. My neighbors say it still looks like a brand new car. There are a few small blemishes that can be seen if you really look for them. The car looks amazing, we get compliments all the time, but it has a few little imperfections, I have to be 100% honest. There are a couple tiny door dings. A few spots that have been touched up, and a little wear to the front bumper. Overall I would rate it good, and I have an eye for imperfections.
The car has never had any accidents, and never had any paint sprayed. It has had a few spots touched up with the factory matched paint. Literally it has no body repairs, no bondo, no cheap clear coat that is going to break down and come off. All 100% factory original.

Just purchased a 2017 Camaro ZL1, waited 3 months after ordering to get it. We really would keep this car but it would have to sit outside, the garage is full and that just isnt right!
Message me, I would be more than happy to talk to you over the phone. I am 100% straightforward. I have sold to out of state buyers previously, they flew in, paid, got the car and drove 2000 miles home. If you are local message me and lets talk in person right here with the car.
