Getting a census on the 350Z

[vkong]

Hey guys, hope this isn't a repost but i did a brief search and while some questions were answered some weren't so here goes...

just graduated college but don't want a huge car payment but i did want the 350z so instead of getting it brand new decided to look at used cars. saw that the 04 - 06's were going for about 14-17k and that looked great. now getting into the buying mode i know that certain cars have certain problems as time goes on (ie mitsubishi's have sketchy tranny, rx8's have problems with their oil). i was wondering besides the normal carfax reports etc... if there was anything else i should be wary of (recalls, etc)... also i plan to use this car for at least another 5 years after the purchase has anyone run into any problems outside of basic tune-ups oil changes etc?

i am looking at this car in particular cuz its not boosted and doesn't have the additional stress as a boosted engine would and comes stock from Nissan with plenty of go... thanks

if i remember right.... consumer reports had some useful information on the 350z's a year ago or so.
