Default questions about a 06 350z with high miles

im looking to get a 350z, most of them in my area are around 200k plus for 7 grand, i found one with around 176k miles and in good condition, 06 enthusiast auto trans (i like manual but i just need a daily), regular oil changes and some service records, for around 4k, just want to get some input on if its a good deal or it might be a nightmare of issues, i know all cars with high miles usually burn oil and need a bit more tlc than usual,

just want input please

Sounds like a pretty good deal. Make sure you inspect it all around for worn parts that might need replacing like bushings. If the bushings have never been replaced after 125k+ miles, odds are they're worn/shot

Things to consider -
$$$$$
Are you paying cash or financing?
Do you have an emergency/repair fund if this will be your daily?
Especially if you're under 25 yrs old have you priced out insurance?

I understand you're looking at high mileage cars for a reason, but you might try the Atlanta market, we're only 1 1/2 hours away. I know I'd be happier paying more for a car with fewer miles. Gl!

you're in Georgia? Do you know any scrap yards with 350z's in them for parting? I've searched but couldn't find much
