Default Need your help again

I fell in love with a Z last night, but it has 44,000 miles. It is an Enth. - It has Nismo 18 inch wheels, Borla exhaust, JWT Pop charger, & Rotora Front Big Brake Kit/Rear brake kit.

Someone dumped a lot of money into this car. My issue is I don't know if it was raced, no existing warranty, and the rear tires have 40% tread left. Inside is immaculate, car is in very nice shape.

They want 21,900 for the car. What should I offer them. Consider the car will need rear tires, a new warranty, and a 60,000 tuneup in a year. I think a fair offer would be $19,500 for the car. Considering the trade in is about $17,000.

Here's a pic of the car

44K miles?? Ouch. I'm not even sure trade-in is as high as you think with that many miles. That's just a killer. I mean, why not find one with half the miles and pay $21-$22k?

Default tires feathered

killer funny tire feathering photo!!

Feathered tire on the outside means it is also feathered on the inside, since more than likely they have swapped it on the rim, better make that 4 new tires and an alignment!!
