Default Opinions please

I found a guy with an 05 350z with 124k. The catch is flood damage, the guys asks 9k. But he said he would be willing to take 7500 cash. What do you guys think?

Hey man don't do it. If you're willing to pay $150 for a plane ticket here's much better options. I'm just saying that there's plenty of good deals if you're willing to go a little further than your own state, I did

also, idk why but Connecticut have the cheapest Z's in the nation lol

I would shy away from the flood damage…offer him $3500 seeing that it's a 'damaged vehicle' and when he tells you no, walk away and tell him if he changes his mind than he can call you...

Dont do it bro, he says there is flood damage, no telling what the extent is, not only that if he has been driving it, if there was anything wrong he has been riding dirty on it for 40k miles, not a good look, and there are better options out there for 7500

First: Where's the carfax. Second flood damage. Third: More excellent 350Z's out there for the same price. Do a little research and get one you will like, that's in good shape from the beginning and then you can just fix it up your way without worries of the past. Dark blue is a nice color by the way.

Probably because they are considered more seasonal around here rather than Cali/Fla/Southern states.

But you will see the prices do vary a lot here in CT. And if you find a really high mileage one, because of the snow and crap they put on the roads here in the winter, chances are it's starting to rust somewhere. That chemical crap is horrible on cars.
