Is $9k too much for an 07 350z with 144k miles?

Yup, clean title San Marino Blue. I got everything from keys, manuals, wheel locks in packaging, window sticker, etc. I got a super steal lol, I just wish insurance was less. My 2018 STI is just a little over half monthly.

If they're going to put a decent warranty on it then maybe. Otherwise, pass.
I look at it like this, at 144k miles that thing could be a mile away from a tear-down, rebuild problem. You can roll the dice from a private seller for 5-6k or get a warranty from a dealer, at least 3 years, 36,000 miles. If 9k includes such a warranty, then it could be something worth looking into. Obviously your skill set and garage comes into play. If you're like me and you don't have the tools to fix anything major then you'll want a warranty.

For reference, I bought my 04 Enthusiast automatic with 40k miles for $12,250 in 2009. 5k under blue book at the time. It's still my dd. A warranty-less 07 with 144k miles for $9,000 in 2018 is an ambitious asking price to say the least.

Heck, even in California where used car prices are completely nuts, you can pick up a 370z all day every day for around $15k with about 60-70k miles.
If you're even considering 9k for a 350z, you might wanna save up and go for the 370z.

It was a repo at a open to public auction. Oh and had to replace driver window motor too. Has a check engine light from high flow cats, but otherwise runs and drives perfecr now

Primered. One of them has been replaced with a used one that was silver. Guess they thought it looked better primered in both sides than silver on one. The top needs a respray anyway so thats next on the list

As far as the cel goes, it comes and goes. It throws a p0430 every so often, but the cel goes off after a while. Did find a bolt missing from the header to the cat this past weekend so hopefully when i get that bolt back in it will solve the problem
