Question What to look for when buying a used Z

I'm buying a Z and I'm going to look at one in a couple days. It's a 2003 Enthusiast and it's got 19K miles on it. The guy selling it is the car's second owner. What should I check on the car? Grinding in 2nd and 3rd? Is the grinding sound similar to actually ****ing up with the clutch and grinding a gear? What does feathering actually look like? Anything else guys let me know. I can't believe how helpful these forums have been already.

From what I understand, the warranty is only transferable once. You may want to check that to see if you have any warranty at all.

If it still has original tires on it, rub your hands around the inner and outer parts of the tread (especially the front tires!) My inner tread of the front tires were cupping bad! You can easily feel that it is not smooth. Every three or four inches around the tire, you could feel a difference.
