Default Thinking about buying a used 370z

I'm in the market for a 370z and this one caught my attention
what do you guys think price wise.
look like the car have some mods and the wheels don't go with the year.
the tires look sunk and small
also the tinted rear lamps have to go, I don't like them
I'm not in a hurry, my 350z is pay off,looking around and taking my time.
anybody know this car, opinions good and bad welcome
thanks

I just picked up a 2013 370Z, IMO the exhaust note is ALMOST as sweet as my old 350Z. Not quite there but this car is SO much better IN every way, other than the exhaust. Its definitely deeper than the 350, doesnt have that "warble, bubble" tone we all love so much though.

Went to see car and no disappointment with car ,the car look better in person, but the sales guy don't know s.. about the car.

He say the car was stock and only the rear lamps cover were aftermarket,but the car had aftermarket exhaust,injem dual cold intake, the strut brace is not stock, look like a fake nismo brace

The problem was that the wanted to give me only 7 k for my 350.

I'm no familiar with the clutch in the 370 i have not drive a manual since I sold my Porsche 951 turbo long time ago,
found the clutch soft maybe I need to get used to it.
I was no ready to buy,told the guy I'm looking around going to see a couple more cars and make my decision.

Honestly, as a sales manager for a dealership... $7k for an 03 with 90k+ miles on in is right on the money for dealer purchase. You can get about 15-20% more if you sell it yourself, but you have to do all your own paperwork. Just a thought.

Id say go for it, anytime you buy a used car make sure its safe and sound. One of the reasons why buying used is so great is that at the end of the deal you have a nice chunk of cash lying around for aftermarket parts.
