Sounds like a helluva deal.....but I'd really have the car checked out before you decide to buy it. Weird that someone would let go of his 35th for so cheap. Maybe it's not a real 35th, but a touring with 35th wheels on it!

Have you looked at the car? Had it checked by a trusted mechanic? Run a check on the VIN to see if the title is clean? Is the title clear or is there a lien holder? Have you driven the car?

The car is from a dealer in So Cal, and it IS the beginning of the year and they are trying to get rid of inventory (my guess about the price). But you guys think I should go check it out?

Carfax! Not sure if it's unique to Z's, but two (out of three) used Z's that I checked out had "intresting" histories. One, an '03, not only had reported frame damage, but had been stolen in NY state and recovered in CA. The other had accident damage and three owners in 20 months. I am not sure how everyone views this, but for me a car with an unfortunate Carfax history is something to avoid. While I am not saying that this car is damaged goods, I'd be wary of any dealer offering something for nothing.

You should go and check the car out for yourself to make sure everything is working properly. If so then I say.... ENJOY!!!

It's good if it's at a NEW CAR (Honda, Ford, Nissan, Chevy, etc.) dealership. They don't buy used cars that are involved in major accidents. If you somehow find something wrong with it of that nature, you can return it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Great Move. Now sell your old beast. In November I bought a GMC Sierra. They offered me $1,000. for my old truck, a '98 Isuzu. I put an add the paper, and the first guy that saw it bought it. I got $3,500. for it.

Best of luck with your new ride.
