Gentlemen (and Ladies),

I've been shopping for around for another car and have decided to pick up a Z.

I've found two recently in my price range, an 04 Touring w/ 35k miles, and a 05 Touring with 28k miles. Both in silver (sadly, i wanted blue). I will be putting in some performance upgrades, but mostly A/V. It may be a daily driver, it depends on how much I enjoy it 8)

My question is what should I look for at time of purchase? I'm not too mechanically inclined, beyond intakes and exhaust, so I'm hoping for some help here. What should I be on the look out for before I sign anything?

Also, what issues are known to be had with these styles and years, in particular? Any tranny issues, etc?

I've been through the 100 questions thread, but I'd like a bit more specific input.

Thank you in advance,

~D
