This is my first Z. Bought it 4 months ago. Is a 2004. Top works great, previous owner garaged the car and put new tires on prior to selling. Clean title, took it to a mechanic and the mechanic said the car is running really strong backing up the previous owners story that it was a freeway driver. The previous owner is an older lady who would have to drive about 80 miles a day to and from work. And because of such the car has 194k miles on it. I am wondering if I paid too much? Just right, or too little. Paid 5,000 for the car.

I'd say $5k is a good deal.

Unsure. I wouldn't buy anything at that mileage unless it's priced at 50% over scrap value or lower.

I'd have passed but I'm always thinking a step forward - Meaning what can I get for it when I sell it.
I think 200k miles will put people off so you'll have less people interested in it, which will dictate what you can ask for it... probably the same issue when you bought it.
There's going to be only so much $$$ in that car from here on out, unless you go the route of changing out the engine / tranny.
What ever you do, keep the receipts... It'll help you when you come to move it.
