Question Differences in years '03-'06?

I'm considering getting a 350z. Are there any disadvantages to purchasing an older one if it has low miles? What are the major differences between the years? Thanks

If you're going to get a 350Z, get one past 2003. That was the first year of the 350Z and the major issue was front wheels/tires feathering caused by improper toe in at the factory. Major problems like that were fixed past 2004.5 models. There are still some other issues such as rear axle clicks, window grease, etc., however they aren't anything to be greatly concerned by us 350Z owners.

Not sure about the '05, but the '06 revs to 7000 rpm and makes 300HP, instead of 287HP. Also, the front end looks different on the '06, wider grille opening and different headlights. Also, the '06 has LED taillights that were a "JDM" accessory other years ('05 may have had them... not sure).
