Hi Biancar,
 
That's good to hear as I bought from Sheehy in Annapolis... they seem to be customer service oriented. We'll have to compare our notes on the two locations.

Yeah, please do! Only thing I don't like about Sheehy is they don't do bodywork. I've got a little ding on the door, and a slightly messed-up front bumper (someone rammed a shopping cart against my car in a parking lot, apparently), but I can't get it fixed at Sheehy, and I don't know a good body shop.
 
Pallone did body work. When someone sideswiped my Maxima and tore off the mirror and scratched the door (also while my car was parked!) the Pallone guys fixed it perfectly. But now I think they only do Chevys.

It might be a bit of a hike, but Duty's on Kent Island is a great body shop. They fixed up my 99 Trooper after an accordian crash on Rt. 50 last year. They fixed the truck perfectly and had it in and out of their shop in 3 days... I've seen other Nissan's in the lot (not Z's though) so I think they know what they are doing. They are also in State Farm's network as a preferred shop so I would think that other insurance companies would have relationships with them too (if that's the route you would go to fix the dings...).
 
Since body work can be very profitable, it's strange that Sheehy in your neck of the woods doesn't offer that service...
 
Bummer about people who don't know how to drive shopping carts or in parking lots..
 
I've started parking my Z as far away from other cars and cart return areas as I can...

I do too, park it as far away as possible that is, but sometimes there's just no hope. Whoever rammed the shopping cart into me did it on purpose; the bashed up paint is more than just the casual scratch it would be if a cart just accidentally rolled into it. Sigh.
 
The side door ding was probably an accident.
 
Where is Kent Island? I'm just south of D.C., in northern Virginia.
 
I doubt I'd submit it to insurance; I carry a high deductible so probably wouldn't get much of a payment above that, and then my premiums would increase anyway most likely, so probably not worth it.

Kent Island is right across the Bay Bridge on Route 50. It's about 45 minutes from DC unless you are driving on Friday night to the beaches, then it's a bit more...
 
Duty's Kent Island Auto Body
(410) 643-6692 | 207 Love Point Rd Stevensville, 21666
 
Might be a bit of a hike from NoVa, but you'll get in and out faster than using a bigger city shop... just a thought.

Ah, too far away from me. I'll try to find someplace a little closer. I got a recommendentation from the Sheehy folks for a place called "Spectrum Auto Body." Anyone ever heard of it?

Hi,
I live in CA, are there any "350Z" clubs like the "Corvette Club"?

To all the 2007 350z owners. Is there any problems with them? i know in the 03,04's there was a tire problem/suspension i wanna say it was. but was curious if anything in the 07s im thinking of buying a 07 enthusiast model, i got one offered to me by a dealer for 27,555. i may say yes!

I'm still dealing with the front end/tire issue. I have a 2003 Touring model which the dealer adjusted the front end and put two new tires on at 4000 miles.
 
I now have 24,000 miles, the front end noise is the worst it has ever been, the two front tires are feathered away and NISSAN is telling me they won't do anything about it.
   
This is a serious issue where these cars eat up front tires and as I see it, if you want to be noise free, the tires need to be changed every 10,000 miles. Mind you these tires are pretty expensive.
 
I've been told the later models do not exhibit this problem but you will not know until it's too late. I have serious doubts Nissan has corrected this issue because if it can be fixed they would have fixed mine.
 
Anyone care to share their experience with the front end problem?
