Default 2003 350z reliable for high mileage?

I’ve been looking to buy a 350z hr preferably but they pretty rare where I’m at I found a 350z de with 170k miles on it. It look like it’s in good condition interior is still perfect no rips on seats or anything looking to test drive it soon just wanted to know if it’ll be worth buying with 170k miles on it the price of the car is 4500

Id seriously consider it and tuck away a few thousand dollars for a rebuild or a built engine at some point. Don't let the high mileage scare you away.

My best advice is to PAY an experienced mechanic to do a full mechanical assessment of a potential purchase. Every car is different and asking for opinions on an internet board is next to useless.

I would do what DK said and have it looked over and buy it immediately. It's got the brembo, 1st edition rays, tasteful minor mods, body is in great shape, single owner, 80k miles or 170k miles?? is this a different car??
