yep, all she needs is some new panels and some paint and she's good to go

Exactly.
Good for the OP. I hope he has fun repairing it and enjoys the car. How dare he buy the car, proceed to fix it and ENJOY doing it without consulting the all knowing Z Gods of this forum. Let's hope he puts up several poll threads asking about paint color, types of wheels and engine mods so he can pick up whatever is popular at whatever the agreed price of the forum says instead of what he likes. It's all of our money after all.

He posted it on a Forum for people to give him their opinion. And he is getting our opinion.

Also. Good luck matching PPW for cheap........


But let's calculate how much he could get for some of the parts:

Engine: $4000 (???)
Transmission: $500 (???)
Headlights: $800
Taillights: $250
Wheels: $750
Suspension: $200
Brakes: $250
Exhaust: $400
Interior: $300

Part it out and Buy and Unwrecked 08 Z.

Um, no. He asked if anyone knew of the car. He posted what he paid but he never said "Gee guys, is that too much?" Who gives a rats ***. he isn't using my money. Go him. If he wants to put $100,000 into a beat up Z, go for it.

that is alot to spend, but looks like it would be fun doing the work.

if you ever get discouraged just get insureance and say it was a hit a run.

I save on the labor, and I wouldn't be able to afford an 2008 Z with that kinda mileage on it. I'll keep you updated on how it goes. I found a receipt in the car and contacted the previous owner. Turns out he hit a patch of ice and hit a lamp pole. He's actually a member of this forum, I forgot to ask what his SN was though.

It will be a difficult project. Having a dad that owns a shop really saved you on this one. Thanks for the updates.

i would have thought it's a bad deal as well up until he said his dad has a shop... clearly that right there means that his dad probably went with him to check out the car to make sure that it's "fixable," to say the least.


some of you need to take that sand outta your vaj. what if he didn't want to finance for a brand new Z or even a semi used Z? i can laugh at everyone on this board that finances their Z's for buying a car they technically cannot afford. but i don't. yes i paid for my Z cash, and yes the military did help.


op, don't worry about the flamers, they are just trying to start **** to compensate for their small *****.

Yeh actually he did go with me to check it out, that's why we purchased it because it was a good deal for us. I could care less about the flamers. More pics tomm.

Why is it that we never answer the question the poster asks?!
No one seems to know who's Z that is...its a late model with no mods and in a state that has low activity on this forum.

since that's taken care of...HORRIBLE buy

watch the news...recession..they are giving cars away esp pleasure cars


but fixing it will be like phucking your overweight cousin
you will learn alot and love her once u are done...but you will regret it after a few years

I just paid 15K for my '03 Touring with 33,xxx miles.... to help give some perspective. Good Luck with build. Any money you spend extra will be worth it for the experience(unless it's a Gawd Awful Ridiculous amount )
