Default Advice on being out of state

I am looking to purchase my first 350Z but it is out of my state. Any advice on what to look for or see before traveling the distance to see it would be great.

It's a 08 MT 350Z Base 39K Miles

Price: 18K

12" Kenwood Subs
JL speakers and tweeters
two amps to power speakers and subs
Kenwood in dash screen
TSW MAX wheels
18x9 in the front, and 18x10.5 in the rear
full invidia exhaust with ART test pipes

Sounds like a good price and the mods sound good.

It comes down to how it drives and runs. I would just go and check it out if it's the "one" for you.

Those wheels don't sound too nice..

But I would check KBB to see how the price is. The miles are low and that's a plus just check the carfax as it could be a salvage car..

Why not pay a local Nissan tech to do a full, detailed mechanical assessment? It'll cost $100-150 but could be the best money you ever spent.

Bought my Z from out of state also and definitely pay close attention to every single detail. Price sounds good for everything it has.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Probably cheaper than going out there anyways and finding something wrong with the car. Thanks for the response

That brand sucks to be honest.

They don't increase the value if the owner states t hat he's wrong. Only wheels like volk will because they are rare.

I flew to Detroit to pick my 350Z about two weeks ago! Did a road trip to Chicago then to St. Louis and back home to Austin, TX Just make sure there are no leaks or other related problems....GL
