Wish me luck I have an eye for this "white" (not sure what the the name of the actual color is, forgive my ignorance) and will propbably take a test drive within a week, but I need to know from you ppl what other issues are there to be looking for, I'm a 1/2 century old and want to retire soon and not be able to drive a car due to the fact that Nissan made a good looking car with issues....

Welcome to the forums, hector . The name of the color is Pearl White and it looks really good. If you don't track your car, it's quite impossible to overheat your car. Only other thing I can think of is road noise when driving on gravel or rough surface. If you know a road in your area that's rough or gravel filled, take the Z to test drive there. Tell the dealer you want to check for the road noise. Since you're NOT coming from a 350Z, you may find that Z has bad rear visibility. I drove 350Z for a long time so I didn't even notice it. But those coming from Evo, STI or other cars with good visibility, may find themselves upset due to bad rear blind spots.

Good luck on your test drive and hope to see you on the forums regularly.
