- Here's why I believe the Nissan 350Z is a modern classic worth investing in! We delve deep into the reasons that make this sports car a worthwhile investment. Unveiled in 2002, the Nissan 350Z has turned heads and gained a loyal following for its distinctive design, stellar performance, and Nissan's history of exciting sports cars.
We'll explore the car's collector value, looking at how the 350Z has gained a cult status among enthusiasts. We'll examine how the 350Z's unique combination of nostalgic design and top-notch performance could cause prices to rise in the future, providing a great return on investment for its owners.
The video also digs into the performance aspect of the 350Z, which comes with a powerful V6 engine and well-tuned chassis. These features make it not just a joy to drive, but also a highly appealing option for potential buyers, adding to its resale value.
Lastly, we'll discuss the Nissan 350Z's reliability and maintenance aspects. Known for their dependable engineering, Nissan cars are more affordable to maintain than many other sports cars, and the 350Z is no exception. Its lower total cost of ownership makes it a smart investment for any car enthusiast.

Hey Johnny, I've been going through a really hard time with PTSD and your videos often feel like an escape, I love the 350z and cars in general, Your videos in a way direct me into a better head space, Keep making these videos, I love every single one of them ❤
I read this comment while playing darts at a local NYC bar & besides the fact it made me happy reading that you get an escape from his vids (i agree too, as well as MANY 350z/VQ UA-cam vids) but also due to the fact that I just recently sold my car when i came across a mint, very low mileage, one owner 08 350z enthusiast pkg, 6mt a month ago that i now own. I have been debating on starting posting vids of mine bc i dont know how to edit yet & basically i dont know what i need in order to do a good channel like these guys do.. i get a feeling that i will be successful, BUT seeing your comment made me really decide to JUST START. To bring an escape or just any sort of ‘break’ from this chaotic world we are living, gives even more meaning to me other than the fact I absolutely love my z! Cheers to you bro & hopefully sooner than later, ill be posting content for YT viewers who appreciate the good things in life! 🙌🙌
@@redline350zHRi can follow to that man looking for to seeing them👍🏽
@@redline350zHR thanks man your comment means a lot, I would love to watch your z videos.
Hey!! Just now seeing this comment and it made my day. I’m so happy these videos can be a little escape for you. It really does make all of the 3am nights staying up to edit all worth it🙏🏼 hope you’ve been doing well since you left this comment. Really appreciate you tuning in and leaving this heartwarming comment. Please take care my friend!!
I don't know about "classic" or "collectible" but I think it's gonna fill the role of the 240sx in 10-20 years where most are gonna be modded and or thrashed so hard (cosmetically and or mechanically) that finding a good stock car will be incredibly difficult...I remember 10 years ago you could find a decent running 240SX here in Texas for 1-2K, now you have people asking 3 to 5 times that for something in much worse condition...the prices are also without taking inflation into account but I think yall get the point.
If anyone's interested in the 350 I'd recommend they patiently wait to come across something good, instead of spending 4 to 6K on one that's meh or a work in progress spend 8-10K on something that's low mileage, 1-2 owners tops, good factory paint, etc. Not that long ago I saw a pristine condition, low mileage, one owner 35th anniversary edition in my area for 8700$, I'm already busy with 2 cars so I wasn't the buyer, but I'm just saying those deals exist if people check their marketplaces often.
I thought about getting a 350Z, but decided to get a 370Z Nismo instead, it's an absolute blast it's my first manual transmission vehicle and I couldn't be happier!
someone's got money
@@yuu5089swear bro went from a 5-10 k car to a 50-80k car tf😭
@@thecornfieldcrip8706god I wish ok conditioned 350z were 5-10k in Canada
@@slowspecv69find one in america they are cheaper down here
@@thecornfieldcrip8706what nismo 370 is 50 to 80k? you can snag one for 35k in florida
In 2003 I had my first 350Z and it was such a cool car to own, it was always a good looker, very well considered design - thanks Ajay who came up with the design Nissan went for. Definitely already a classic. Although I have new European cars for my daily drives I have my 3rd as new condition 350Z as a weekend toy - just love it - cheers from Brisbane
Female designer Diane Allen was responsible for the complete exterior design of the 350z. Ajay panchal was only in charge of the design team but didn’t come up with the design he only made sure his team was doing the job correctly.
If it's not a classic yet it soon will be. Long live the 350Z!
Just picked up a 350z Anniversary Edition with the color yellow, 3 days ago. I'm very happy with it. Well I too do think this car will be a collectors car someday. Maybe the Anniversary Edition will be even more worth than the normal Z's.
I forgot about the Anniversary Edition! I absolutely believe it will be worth a bit more than the normal 350z's! Especially that yellow color is so awesome. Glad to hear you are enjoying that thing! :) Appreciate your comment my friend!
Engineer Gaming
Just got mine too saturday i got the 35th ae sliverstone and its a beauty🤩
honestly the fact that an account called engineer gaming got a 350z get my hopes up that one day ill own one too
@@glutenfree8348 You will get one to bro no doubt. Just put in the work and you'll get there, partner!
funny enough I bought my Z last year after watching a bunch of his videos lol they’re great cars and shouldn’t be kept in a garage. They’re so fun to drive and as daily drivers they have plenty of power to have fun any day of the week.
Exactly 🔥🔥
Yeah this is a sign for me to buy one, been debating it for ages it’s my dream car! one day I’ll make it happen
*chants* Do it! Do it! Do it! Haha you must try it someday, they're such a blast! They hold their value really well too. Buy it, drive it for a few months or a year and sell it for probably exactly what you paid! Or keep it if you're really enjoying it like I did haha Appreciate your comment my friend! :)
@@JohnnyB.i agree! I cant picture selling mine after owning it for a month now!!
My dream car, also. I can't wait to buy one.
I have a 2006 enthusiast. 26k miles automatic convertible. Mint condition. Don't know jack about cars. Just enjoy driving it when the weather cooperates. These cars are so much fun to drive.
I found a 2006 350Z Roadster Touring in 2023. It's an automatic, but it was the only low-mileage, single-owner Z with no accident history I could find. To my surprise, the "manual mode" lets me shift up and down through the gears like a manual. And with my bad knee, it's actually a blessing. If anyone's looking to buy a 350Z, make sure to check the car's history. Most of those I looked at had several owners and multiple accidents.
i found a 2004 roadster manual with 140k miles but it has two owners. i’m going to look at it soon!
@@Schnitzeldawg - Check the vehicle's history for accidents or major mechanical problems using Carfax or Autocheck. It's worth a few dollars to get as much info as possible before making a purchase.
A car made for a King. DK from F&F Tokyo Drift lol. But also, the Option Stream Z top speed car from back in the day is a huge 350z inspiration. 😍
Bought a 2005 6speed convertible! Absolute blast to drive... Not because of the performance.. Just the raw feel and sounds...
I just picked up an 05 convertible a couple weeks ago 🤣
@@babylonisfallen4411awesome reading that there are so many comments on this vid stating that they just picked up a 350z like i did as well a month ago!
Have plans to supercharge it and build the motor... Needs a better LSD also.. Maybe I'll add content to my channel
Great video, I loved it, especially since I'm shopping around for a 350z. I've never owned a Nissan before. I'm so excited about buying the Z!!!
As someone who's been patiently waiting for z prices to drop so I can pick one up......shhhhhhhhh....
Respectfully, goodluck
XD I know how you feel my friend, I too am hoping they come down a bit in price so more people can experience them. Really appreciate your comment!
😂
People always want their car to be a classic/popular till they find out they can't afford to maintenance it anymore if it does reach that status...😂🤷
one more year and im getting one, cannot wait for it ! She will be my weekend ride. Btw how many miles do you have on her and were there any serious problems ?
i sold my hr not about 6 months ago and i miss it. i’m gonna go buy one this weekend🙌
dang
I'm going to buy a 350z once I sale my Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycle. I'm so excited after watching all of these UA-cam videos.
Mines not an hr but I picked up an 06 with a newer import engine at 68k miles and it’s the best time I’ve had going around corners.
Nice!! Love my 06, and with the right suspension / tire setup, these cars feel like they're on tracks!! Appreciate your comment my friend :)
nice!
The best car ever!!
It really is!! It does everything so well🙏🏼
I'm probably at 6 or 7-ish years now of ownership of a 2007 GT...these are great cars. I've looked up the production numbers, and if I read them correctly, my car is one of 12 optioned the same way for the North American market. I'm in Canada and my car is a Canada market car...5 were made in 2007 optioned like mine for the Canadian market.
Nice! Thats a great excuse for me to empty my bank account for one 😂
Z’s are over inflated now… was once about $3500-$4500 and now is $8k-$15k with like 160k miles. Idk if it’s drift tax included. (And I’m exaggerating)
I agree, it's a classic and a great car. Sounds great, good performance, iconic looks. NFSU2 all day. I never really liked how it looked though, it felt dated almost out of the gate but Hyundai launched the Ioniq 6 which is the same "computer mouse" shape and I think it looks amazing. Maybe the 350z was a bit ahead of it's time. It's definitely growing on me.
Haha computer mouse. Best expression of the shape ever! Don’t get me wrong, I’m 350z owner and I love my z😂
Sounds great?? Any other v6 sounds better
I have to point out one thing. Z’S, Brz/gt86’s/ Genesis Coupe’s and many other 200-320hp cars arent the fastest on street. But what is the point of having 700HP and barely use it. 214 in my car feel soo good to driving. And i drove cars like m2/m4 F generation, audi s5 with 333 HP and they were really fast cars. Great cars for daily but having little thing like Z with 280HP feels really good. Ofc the handling would be Better for a sports car, but 370Z solve that problem a little. People just gotten crazy with 1200HP builds that arent really a good thing to drive it daily.
07-08 manual in good shape 7-12k.
I’m looking at 04 350z eith only 35k miles on it seems unreal so I gotta take it in the shop first
Excellent plan! I had my 08 with 110k checked out. The engine, trans and electrical were good but it needed suspension work. I showed the report to the place selling it and got the price reduced. Worth the effort!🙂
I just bought a clapped out 06 enthusiast thats been stripped 90 percent inside, has the non rev up swapped into it, has a welded diff, rear bumper cut for rear bash bar... its a pile but its my first z and i plan to get it back to its former glory. It'll be a long road because it also has a lot of cheap aftermarket junk on it that i have to replace too. Why do people treat these cars this way!
Goodluck to you 💪🏽 You got it
I know what you mean. I see this with a lot of different cars. Butchered by 'tuners' and or the 'resto-mod' crowds.
I just bought bumpers, carbon interior and hood. Speakers head units and subs. Headlights and a rocket bunny. Complete do over I should start a channel too.
start one and let me buy your other pieces and also give me a small loan of a carbon piece please
Have a you ever recorded a video and talked about a whole concept you were planning on uploading but then realize you weren’t recording at all at the end😂
350z is going to be the next drift machine after e36 prices become unaffordable.
the 350 is gonna be just as valuable as the r32, r33, 240sx, one day
Without a doubt!! I see "Wrecked my Zee" on reddit almost everyday...sad, but the drivable ones are going up in value!! Appreciate your comment my friend :)
@@JohnnyB. yep, i just bought a silver 350z, its a 2003 and i only got 104k miles on this beast, i will never sell it
@@ghosted5889 104k miles is low!!! Great find. Enjoy that thing and be safe out there🙏🏼
Ofcourse its going up in value
Im trying to get a 350z as my first car rn and it is a good idea?
Can you afford it? Insurance will be expensive, also think about whether or not 2 seats and small cargo room is going to hurt you. But otherwise the car is amazing and has excellent reliability. Shouldn’t cause you any problems.
They suck gas like a mother, and use premium. You'll be spending a lot of money on gas.
The automatic 2006’s have 287 , I have one 😂
With the 300z,370z and the 400z that came out finally I think Nissan is competing with itself do I think the 350z like every other JDM will raise in value yes but don't think it'll reach Mk4 or NSX prices ... At least I hope not
i hope so i just grabbed one lol
@@sopretty43vr Yeah everyone wants their car to be sum special and the Z's are but just not 100k$ special, if they do reach that price thats a bad sign, less parts,less 350z on the road, higher maintenance cost etc
But the 350Z is turning into the new 240sx soon or later none will be stock and most will be beaten to a pulp like most of them are now and won't gain much value besides there drift tax on the chassis.
@@sopretty43vr So If you got one take care of it, if you do want the value to go up
a question but would u sell all 3 of ur cars for a nismo 350z ?
350z nismo? It’s literally the same thing as the regular one. Not worth the price.
@@2seep johnny the one that said it's his dream to buy a nismo 350z so that's why i asked that
Being there are only 1600 authentic Nismo's on earth, I really feel it would be the pinnacle Z experience! That, or if I could swing a 380RS!! Don't think I could sell the red Z or the Miata, I'm way too emotionally attached to those haha the Blue Z not so much (yet)... once it's painted I'm sure that will change though haha I wouldn't be completely opposed to trading the HR + money on top for a Nismo someday! Appreciate your comment Jay :)
does this one sound like the one in tokyo drift?
DK's from Tokyo Drift has a very unique sound! I'd say this is close in comparison, but the closest sound you'll get to that one is the Magnaflow Street Performance Exhaust for the 350z! Appreciate your comment my friend!!
@@JohnnyB. thanks for your answer. this 350z has always been my dream car ever since i was a little kid . if i ever buy one i wanna make it sound like the one from the movie 🥹
Blue Pearl has to be hands down the best 350z color, shame they're on the rarer side.
I didn’t qualify for one with white leather seats, it wad beautiful. But I got a red one 😊
z33 chassis is only going to get expensive bc s chassis will become unobtainable. @5:15 that is the only reason they will ever get that expensive.
Z is getting VERY expensive.
why is this video sponsored?
I think they don’t age well. At least the design. And that sound is horrible. But cool that it’s an affordable rwd naturally aspirated vs6, but it’s like a sister to a pt cruiser lol
XD I understand what you mean...done wrong the sound can be unbearable... but with the right exhaust, they have a great high-pitch screaming noise! I'm just gonna ignore the PT cruiser comment :D I appreciate your comment my friend!!
First
Thank you!! Really appreciate you tuning in today :)
These are cars are junk. my friend has owned 3, all of them giver him different problems.
Sorry to hear that you’re friend is very unlucky had mine for a 10 years and it seems its going to outlast me 😂
I have a 2003 350z with 144k, runs perfect. It's a shame because you never know
@@christophermanning8378me too. Have a 05 and runs great still. Had it since 07.
350z and G35 are not worth investing in.. i wouldnt be proud of keeping up with a newer turbo civic lol! This is a great car to step into the car scene with as one of your first sportier cars..
I like my 350Z and my Infiniti Q60S because they are made in the Tochigi plant north of Tokyo
and use all Japanese parts. The 350Z and the G35 share the same basic platform and
the 370Z and 2014 Q60S share that same platform. . Both cars are built like tanks and are both very reliable.
They may not be the fastest in the stop light drags, but where they really shine is
in top end power and in their balanced handling. There is more to a car's performance
then just 0 - 60 times. I much prefer the overall balanced driving experience of my
Q60S and 350Z over the Civic Si or pretty much any FWD sport coupe or sedan
I have driven. To get a better overall driving experience you have to go
with one of the more exotic sports cars with a cost in the six and seven figures.
Most of us don't have that kind of cash.
Thats a chicks car and they aint even fast at all. A Prius has a faster 0-60 😂
I don't know what Prius you're driving in your dreams but in reality you are most definitely mistaken.
Bought my 05 350z in 07 and still drives like a champ. Mainly drive it on the weekends only now though. But i still love it. Can’t see myself ever selling it. 🥹
Meh,
