Default New 350Z Buyer!

So, I'm about to buy me first Z and Ive been looking at this one. Haven't seen it in person but from what I can tell it looks like a good deal. I was wondering if there is anything I need to be aware of when buying a modded vehicle like this one. Upkeep, reliability, etc.

Any advice you guys have I would really appreciate it.

The seller mentions the word “safe” twice so it must be safe.

$24500?? If ya can afford that, buy a 2008 HR with low miles for 21K then mod to your liking. HRs will hold up MUCH BETTER boosted than an 06 DE. Keep in mind, 06s also have an issue with oil consumption as well.

i wouldn't buy a boosted z, you have no idea on whats going on, or if the car will last. Like stated before with that kind of money you can easily pick up a nismo, or a regular hr with money left over for mods, but thats my .02
