get it... 1-2 weeks later say u got rear ended in the parking lot and just found the car that way. pay your $250 deductable and get it fixed. then dump the insurance company and get another one b4 the car is done being repaired and lock in a 1yr to 6 month rate b4 the dmg is sean on the other insurance. I think its a vary good deal if the frame or hub assembly is not dmged. drive it and see if it has some alighnment issues, if it does the accident coulda bent a rod.

Yeah the spots on the spoiler are air diffusers (not sure i like them, probably will remove them, along with nismo stickers)

Plan to check out the car in further detail at a shop hopely.

Oh and its not chille or ice cream, it was some random lady with nasty soup!

When you get insurance they take pictures of your vehicle from every angle... that'll be consider prior damage and deduct it

good idea but usually when you start a new insurance policy they ask for you to get it inspected by one of their shops in their network. They're one step ahead.

The seller cannot afford to get the car fixed. That should give you some idea of the repair cost. Think about it.

And I wasn't aware you could get 17s on touring model...pretty sure they were 18" standard, so confirm the model before you buy

18" wheels were an option for the Touring auto. The 6 spd had it standard.

if it's got clear title, 14K$ is a pretty good deal. Depends on how you want it fixed...new quarter panel replacement would cost more than just pulling out the damaged section, bondo and repaint. Looks like the bumper is clean. Good luck.

Let me get this straight:
Guy has a 350Z with rear damage he cannot afford to fix, so hes selling it
(at a freaken bargain) so that he can buy a more expensive vehicle? That makes no sense man, none at all. Cars are priced for a reason, from my experience people rarely price LOWER than what they would like to get, and what they would like to get it ALWAYS more than its worth (would you want less money?) I call BS. Plus, if its an auto, you have to factor in a manual conversion, cause AT sucks.

if you want an auto AND you get it checked out by a mechanic and body shop to make sure there is nothing else wrong it sounds like a good deal.

Sometimes people say they don't have any money when what they mean is they dont want to mess with something like this. It could be the damage is just an excuse to get out of the car.

This is my friends Z and I'll vouch for him. He kept it in great condition (before he got hit). he cleaned it almost everyday. His car is in great mechanical condition. It's going to cost around $2500 to fix it i think
