That's overpriced for it's mileage regardless of the area. Like others have said. Pass on it and wait for another.

125k on an 07, and it's an auto? This thing was definitely a daily driver that probably wasn't treated very well. For a few thousand more you can get a garage queen weekend toy.

You can find a better deal, but check carfax and look for rust. Miles isn't always the best sign of wear.

Default way to much

My best friend just bought a 05 with 30th on the body, with a full built z1 motor and momentum turbo kit. Around 600 whp and it was 15k. You can find awesome z's for really cheap now days.

Wait for a better car, there are plenty of Z's out there these days, find the right model, lower mileage, & some bolt on's will be a plus. Good luck & take your time, don't fall in love with the 1st car you see.

Nah nothing serious, just some autocross events, but it's free weight savings and if I had the open diff instead of the viscous diff I probably wouldn't have held off upgrading to a quaife. In the back of my mind I know that if I ever turn this into a dedicated autocross/track car it's not the ideal platform to start out with. Besides, between the coilovers, exhaust, and test pipes it stopping being a comfortable ride a long time ago (not that I care), so I figure at this point it would have been better starting off in a more performance oriented, less comfortable form.

I do like the display and navigation and the leather seats in certain situations (driving wiminz around ) which is why I only *kinda* wish it was a base, rather than full blown regret . Hindsight is 20/20 though amiright?

I see where you're coming from.

I was under the impression they all rode the same? The leather just looks nice (I maybe use the factory nav once/season).

I definitely understand the feeling about upgrading the diff.

You're right, they all ride the same. I was just talking about things like leather, heated seats, and cruise control which don't improve actual ride quality but rather make it a slightly more comfortable vehicle to be in (which has been essentially cancelled out anyway by stiff suspension and a loud/smelly exhaust).

It might not be a money pit, but parts for these aren't cheap and unless you know someone in the trade you'll get stung for labor as well. Have you read the top 100 questions at the head of the forum? Some of won't apply but a lot of it will. This is your dream car, don't rush into it as it could quickly turn into your worst nightmare.
Yea your right thanks
