2003 350Z

Hi noobie here, kinda...



I am considering buying a 2003 350Z with 51K miles. The car has some minor underbody scrapes on the paint, it is pearl white. I am driving it until Monday to see what I decide. I have some questions if you guys could help. TIA.


1.) Can regular or mid-grade unleaded be run intermittently instead of premuim gas all the time?


2.) Is $16K from a dealership a good price, if I get a warranty?


3.) How reliable is this car? What about cost of ownership, ex: tune-ups, maintenence, etc..


4.) What is real world gas mileage (assuming I drive responsibly)?


Oh, one more question, is this engine belt or chain driven? TIA again

wow, not one reply? lame. Oh well, I Googled and got much info, then drove this Z for about 40 miles, hwy and city and averaged 18-20 mpg while driving responsibly. Not good in this day and age, what a pig! Perhaps I need to be looking at either a Sentra SE-R or wait for Saturn's Astra later this year.
