Don't worry bout the year. Get the lowest mileage for the lowest price is what you want, also carfax report.

17k + miles and not one issue other than the air cond needing a recharge.

bought my 09 brand new. Havent had an issue with it yet. Been almost a year. Only 7500 miles, but I drive my car pretty hard. Its already been to the dragstrip as well.

As someone who is looking also, I've been on this website for a while researching all the time and I won't buy an 09. There does seem to be more problems with this year. But there usually is with first year models.

Care to elaborate? What issues have you found that are more prevalent in 09's and not in 10's?

My 09 Nismo goes over 2 this week with just 9,000 miles and no problems.

Econ · 06-14-2011, 11:52 AM

yea 09 with 5400 miles here no major issues

FromG2Z · 06-14-2011, 11:57 AM

That's what I thought so too.... I don't recall ever reading/hearing that 09's have more issues than 10's. I just wanted to make sure he justified his statement. I don't want other Z and potential Z owners getting scared of 09's....
