Get it checked out for suspension damage in the back. It looks like the damage could be worse underneath. He could have even put a new rim on the back. If you can drive a manual transmission then I automatically..pun intended..think that you should buy a Z w/ a mt.

Have you run the car's VIN on Carfax? I encountered a private seller that was quick to talk about a minor collision involving his Z that he was selling at a bargain price. It gave the appearance that he was really up front and honest. Upon checking with Carfax, I learned that the minor collision mentioned by the seller was not in the report, but instead it listed frame damage from an earlier accident and theft of the car in NY and its recovery in CA. In short, had I bought the car for its low low price, the negative Carfax report would have made it very difficult for me to sell or trade the car in the future, since it was damaged goods.
In short, a deal too good to be true, often is. Do your homework before spending your money on this car or any other.

hmm..
Whats the guys number?
I'll fight you for it
I got my 04 track edition for $14600 shipped w/clean title and light damage, about $1500 worth of parts and i fixed it all by myself which saved me probably $2000 of labor cost.
This is a good deal if its a clean title.
