it's expensive to own a 370 or 350z because you wanna mod the shit out of it

Wow, I've owned my 370Z now for 6 years, only needed tires, and I just had them mount and balanced them for me. Dude, did you buy your Z off a Salvage lot?!

Your a funny dude that always seems to stay positive. I'd be very depressed with those costs, haha!

I don't own a 370z but I think I started following your channel many years ago when I got my '09 Altima. I'm not even a car guy, but I got hooked on your laugh and personality. Glad you still post videos once in a while.

Never seen someone so happy about car repairs. God bless him and his wallet.

bought mine brand new in 2010 I have 56k miles on it and no issues so far still running with original battery

u got ripped off so bad

His laugh reminds me of KSI, always makes me giggle. :)

Just so you know you can get a gtr with a very similar insurance and gas milage, you would only have to pay an extra 70.000 for the car which should be quite easy since a house is pretty easy to sell.

I'm so glad I wasn't eager to get a sports car at a young age. I'm 54 y/o. I own a 2014 base Z. My insurance is $429 per year with $250 deduct for collision. 19k miles and no problems to date.

This is one of my dream cars so that's why I'm here

You're awesome man, you could make a video about anything and I would love it. Love your attitude and joyfullness. Subbed af!!

I bought a 2009 370z with 64k miles on it in April of 2016. After over a year and 9k miles, I have had only one issue with the car which was a loose battery terminal and mount (previous owner failed install). Two zipties and some foil fixed that issue and the car has been flawless since. I have replaced the warped front rotors that came with the car, all brake pads, engine + tranny + diff fluids but that's all labeled as planned maintenance. Very reliable cars if you buy them once the previous owner has dealt with the initial issues (CSC, steering lock, possible oil consumption, etc) in the first 35k miles. Parts aren't much more expensive than other Japanese import cars aside from headlights ($700 a piece). Taxes were $580 and insurance for under 25 year old male clean record is ~$1,100 per year for full coverage.

I absolutely love this dude's sense of humor!! he Laugh's at everything! this guy's a regular riot!!! thank God, there's still genuinely good natured people.

You should learn how to fix your car! I own the nismo, and i had the power steering issue, I bought a used power steering pump from a totaled 370z with 12k miles for $100 and changed it myself, along with a $10 power steering fluid, so $110 fix, you just gotta have the right tools, but its nothing hard.

Great vid as always, +expensive things you got there man😬😂wish you good luck. Keep up the positive energi👍🏻👌🏻and great content😂😂

Hey man good to c your still making awesome vids, still saving for my Z. About half way there. Haven't seen any of your vids for a few months so just catching up on them now. Still entertaining as ever , keep laughing and keep up the good work my friend

Not interested in buying 350/370z anymore. Thank you for very informative video. Saved me a lot of money.

for any young person thinking about buying this car, my insurance is $320 a month. i haven't gotten a ticket in over 4 years but I've had 2 reckless tickets and 3 speeding tickets when i first got my license, I'm almost 22 now so I'm going to take driving school to hopefully bring it down. moral of the story: dont drive like an idiot and you will be able to afford nice things. (also not die)

I sure miss my 2010 370Z. I'll have to watch you enjoy your ownership before the wife will ever let me get one again!

What a GREAT review, loved it..

This dudes attitude towards expenses is awesome. Just laughs it off I love it!!!!

I like how you casually continue the commentary from inside trunk

Really want a 350z, I enjoyed this video immensely so I can now know how much money to mentally set aside. Good information and great video, I watched the whole thing.

Thanks for the video! I have an old Volvo I bought that is dying. It was a temporary car until I got the funds together for another one. Anyway, I was looking at a Z because Nissan has a decent reputation as far as reliability, but a friend of mine who's a mechanic and an old Z owner (240 I believe) told me to do my research on the car as the Zs can have problems. So far it looks like I'm going to go back to my Corvettes after all. I guess, there is no such thing as a trouble free sports car. Still, they are a hell of a lot of fun to drive!

I mean how old is the car and how much mileage did it have? I'm glad I have my 2012 Corolla. So far zero repairs in 7 years. $45 oil changes and $30 to fill the tank.

I can relate. I have a 2010 40th anniversary edition and my clutch was going out and tranny is going out then car battery then my door locks started not to work with the remote. Then steering columns needed to replaced thank god it was covered by Nissan do to recall. Great video

Seems like every car is good really... it's just going to treat you the way you treat it. Good vid dude!

love watching this guy. so intertaining =)=)=)

I love your nervous laugh as those costs add up!

the laugh of pain hehehe

I have a 2011 and just did the steering wheel lock sensor. Wouldn't start and had to tow it. Also needed a battery. $700.00 with taxes.

My Z sadly has been costly so far. Need a rebuilt transmission since my 7AT has been slipping. Also just replaced map sensor , fuel pump, did oil, brakes, and new tires. Not cheep at all lol. And I have a 11

Love that rear wing, looks beautiful

I have an '05 350 Roadster with 83K (bought with 36K in '12). Had minor electrical issues $300 and recently had to replace wheel bearings for right rear $2-300, if I remember. Other than that just normal wear and tear maintenance so far - tires, brakes, battery, oil. Still love the car. BTW my mechanic at Precision Z - awesome garage, google 'em - in LA says to stay away from '09-'12 370s if possible, tho I can't remember exactly why due to old age (mine).

TGD, you make very amusing videos!!! I hope you were able to fix your issue without it being too much out of your pocket. I myself am the proud owner of a 2014 black cherry touring sport roadster that I purchased last May from PHL with only 11k miles on it. It truly is a VERY AMAZING car!!!! I've only put 2k miles on it since then. It still smells new. I don't see very many convertible 370zs but a ton of 350z's. Everyone one wants to talk about the car. Heads DO turn??

Hey ! I love the video - Glad I found you. I'm looking to buy a 370z to replace my old '72 240z that I had to sell a couple of years ago - tnx - S

Hey! I’m trying to pick up a 370z as a beater for my Cayman GTS, how reliable are they past 150+ K miles? Should I consider more on a used model around $10k or just lease (Purely from a cost perspective, I just want the cheapest possible method with average repair cost accounted for the used path)

love your personality dude

Although they are not cheap to run I think you got quite unlucky bro and the garages you went to bumped you on your repairs

i lov my z.. never a problem yet and i beat on it daily.. i pay $110 a month full insurance.. im 22 yrs old...its not expensive to own at all..

Like you said, it varies from person to person and depending where you live. Some at 25 or older will probably only have to pay half of that, and if you can do the maintenance and stuff yourself, even less.

Great video and love your laugh! That is pretty expensive but I think the norm for sports cars. Eeeek, gotta love your car.

😂😂😂😂hes so funny, in the beginning he said "there probably looking at me like an idiot" 😂😂 (I died)

What did you buy to keep your iPad sticking to the middle console like that?

Holy shit man. I just picked up an ND Miata. Fun to drive annnnnd 32mpg combined 50/50 highway/city. But the Z is a beautiful car and I love your mods!

How is a power steering hose ~$600 and the pump is ~$300?!?!? The hose would have killed me, and I probably would be finding another mechanic.

idk what country you're in but my cost for 6 months is a lot cheaper, there is not tax on the car, i haven't needed any repairs, maintenance was about 150 for me, 3rd party insurance that protects you in crashes only (not theft/fire) was about 325 and fuel is about 720. So in 6 months (excluding the killswitch i installed) the car has cost me around 1195, less than your tax alone.

Is it easy to see the back with the mirror in the car ? I mean maybe the spoilers will block it

Such a good video xD subbed. Very likable guy. Sweet car.

The insurance does seem to be a bit high but otherwise I haven't had to do anything besides oil changes. The tires will be expensive once they wear out though.

I know how you feel man, fellow Z owner here haha (Z32). It's worth it though!

09 g37 90k miles on the odo currently one year into ownership. I have to replace the front end links and that's it, so $150 but let's be real car is 10 years old bushings and end links tend to wear around then. Sounds like your first 6 months was rough.

I've had my 2014 370Z since December 2014. It rolled off the assembly line in October 2014. I haven't had any problems whatsoever.

I love his energy ((:

Wow! Ya gotta love the cars!

Subbed at 2001 Subs, sound like wise guy to watch, keep up the good works.

So do you advice me to get a Mustang v6 2012? Coz it costs less than 5000 USD here in Sharjah UAE. my brothers told me the spare parts are affordable, plus i love the Interior and the logo of Mustang. i don't like Japanese cars sounds honestly.

GEEZ! hahaha i just subscribe coz you funny haha! Post more content bro! hahah

Do you work full time or part time? Because I’m planning on getting one and I’m also a college student who’s returning back to college after facing diversity writhing the workplace after getting a certificate for automotive so now I’m going back for nursing. Please let me know on your advice

What did the actual car cost you though.... Obviously you bought it out of warranty status so how many miles were on it when you bought it and did you buy it outright or make payments as well?

i thought fuel was going to be the killer for my 350z, but its not too bad.The thing I'm always spending $$ on is car washes/supplies...and since I have a roadster the car washes are all by hand....but I 100% agree its all worth it

Have you been at the cars and coffees? I've went the last two times it's fun

I be never had these problems with mine... what year is yours

All of these problems should have been covered by the dealership under warranty. Your one very patient and nice guy to let them do this to you 😂😂.

People might think that he must be unlucky, but this things actually happen, 3 months after I purchased my 370z my antilock system failed $1400 to repair it! :/ other than that my Z is running great now. Oil change are cheap, repairs are expensive.

i just wana know how much it costs stock

How many miles does your car have bro ?

how did you pay for repairs ? is it not under warranty

Those rims are unique and look awesome on this car.

I'm 29 with no accidents and drive a base model sentra. my full coverage insurance in Louisiana is 210 and that's with multi car discount

Talki g of fuel here in the UK, my 370zgt only runs on 98 octane and costs 120 pounds to fill up, and it's the equive of 130 dollars

Hello, I am new driver planning on getting a nissan 370z. I am currently on college but have free tuition and no rent. I am 20 and all I wanted to know its how much you think I would pay for the insurance of the car. The car that I saw it's a 2010. I make $2000 each month so I think I can afford it. Based on that what do you think I will pay.

Love the FairladyZ. I picked up the 2016 370z Nismo-Tech for about $48,000. Sales tax was over $3,000 or so. BUT I have had this car for a year now and not needed one repair. I hate that you've had so many issues with yours. I pay about $112 a month for full coverage thru esurance. SWITCH over! $230 is pretty steep for insurance and im only 2 years older than you (27). Give esurance a call. State Farm was gonna charge be about $240. But keep at it man. Love the Z.

oh and you might be interested, i quoted full coverage for a 370z (im 23), with nationwide, and it was 127$/m, and they called me and said they could lower it if it would get me to switch to there insurance

don't let tank get below quarter tank. Save the fuel pumps

How are you getting 14 mpg ? I have an 2017 Nismo and Im consistently over 23... you bought a sports car with no warranty ? you paid $600+ to have a hose installed ? Are you going to ZDAYZ ? in NC , May 18-21 if so great I'm driving down from VA.

I have had my 16 Nismo for 7 months, It had a fresh oil change, free, I have changed it once since. It had 6k on it and has 11k on it now. The car is amazing, there is no comparison to any car unless you are looking at a Porsche. I pay $67 per month for full coverage. My 7 months of ownership has cost me $1200 tax, $600 gas, $490 Ins, $40 oil. $2330 total for 7 months. Also one thing to note is at the drag strip I ran a quarter mile in 13.2 seconds! Your mustang may beat me in the quarter but on a road course I will own you!

The normal issues with a 350Z within 100K miles are replacing the water pump, timing chain, and tensioner. It is not uncommon for the AC compressor to start becoming noisy at 100K miles. Another issue is leaking valve cover gaskets, especially the little ones that keep oil out of the spark plug holes. If you have a manual transmission, you'll most probably need a clutch. All brake rotors will fail by 100K miles. (They can go sooner if you are hard on brakes) You will also most probably go through two to three sets of tires in 100K miles. If you have all this done at a shop, you are looking at around $8,000 . Parts alone will run you around $3,900. Oops, I forgot the driver's side power window motor and the starter.. Add another $300 for the parts. Triple that if you have them replaced at a shop. These cars are not cheap to operate, but neither is any other car. My Honda Accord needs it's timing belt changed every 90K along with all seals and the water pump. It also had the good old automatic transmission fail at 109K. Exhaust manifolds like to crack around 100K on 4 cyl Hondas. Suffice it to say, driving is NOT cheap. The average sedan costs around $0.35 a mile to drive. The 350Z is around $0.40 a mile to drive. But it is a true sports car.

I'm subscribing to you just because of your laugh and the fact that you make things that aren't funny, funny by laughing randomly.

Is a 350z / 370z good for a 17 /18 year old ?

your a funny dude! every time you laughed, I laughed myself

so what you're saying is get a standard transmission?

You just gave a new meaning to the word mirrorballs *grin*

To be honest, it won't be that much more than a regular car. It also depends if you have a heavy foot or not or if you can do some of the repairs yourself, like the engine belts. That repair is very simple and doesn't take very long if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. The cost to fun factor is also better. I like to look at smiles per gallon as a factor as well. My Z has treated me well over the 12 years that I've owned it even though it's a 350z. The 370z should not be any different and will last you a while if you take care of it.

Sounds like me when I bought my 300srt8 used from a lot. I feel like you have to find these cars from a private owner who actually takes care of their car. I loved my 300 srt8 but also hated the debt it put me in. I learned my lesson though

Also wanted to add that I'm waiting on my, "Fast Intentions", exhaust system to be delivered!!!!!!!!!

my last 09 was auto 80k on the clock just tires oil and 1 battery is all the maintenance it took and I drove that car hard

I have an 09 Nismo and it has cost me exactly $0.00 in any sort of repairs. Z is only costly in tires. It eats them pretty quick. I was lucky to get 25k miles out of my rear. Front look like it will make it till 30k.

What year is it ?

I have a 2008 g37. I know it’s not a 370z. But other than tires and a battery. Oh and the clutch. It’s been flawless. Beat it every day

HAHAH! Love your vids bro! You make us laugh too! Man that's my dream car! 370z nismo. /GG!

All these things are basic repair / maintenance costs that all cars will have realy need to learn how to service yourself will save you heaps

If you couldn't afford to maintain it, then why purchase it? Sounds like you bought a used lemon. Purchased my 05 350Z new off the lot. With over 110K I haven't had any of these issues. Sounds like the stealership just saw you coming.

cost of ownership goes way down if you don't tow it incorrectly if it ever breaks down :D

Been working for nissan for a while now and I've never seen most of these issues actually happen on the 370z. Most expensive thing to usually happen on these cars is tires. They're pretty solid cars. Sounds like you got the runaround.. find a new dealer PRONTO. If they made you pay $600+ and it didn't fix you're problem and the they tacked on more fees.. shady af.

Over $1000 in repairs in the first 6 months? Holy sh**. This is why I found a good mechanic and I have every potential new car inspected by them. I know a fair amount, but I'm not a professional. I pay $40 for a pre-buy inspection, and so far it has saved me thousands...

I was considering buying one of these cars before this video.. I liked the video though!

Im about to get one maybe next week

This is the cost of owning YOUR used 370z. Mine is 1 year old and has had zero issues.
