Buying a '03 350z, need help.
So yea i was looking for 350z's online since my car got totalled on the 15th on the highway, i got rear ended =( , anyways theres somebody sellin a '03 350z for 15k , but i was checking the vehicle report and what exactly does Lien mean? I emailed the guy about it and he sent me this back
Hi,
The price listed is correct 15,000. First of all I need to tell you that I
have moved at my parents in Martinsville, VA after I have lost my job, and
the car is locked in a garage in Hollywood, Florida, at my old address.
I am selling the car only because I have recently lost my job, and I don't
have any savings, the bills and the loans I have to pay are too high. I was
forced to move at my parents as I was not able to pay my rent, and right now
I need to sell the car as I can't afford it.

Lien most likely means the car used the financing at the time of purchase, and the back may still hold the title of the car until the loan balanced is paid off.
15K for a Z is a little too good to be true. But if you are local and can have anyone check it out for the legitimacy, do it and find out.

I would definately have this car checked out. It is an '03, that was sold at an auto auction the very first year this model car was out 
I don't know if it was bought, then stolen, or bought and the original lien holder couldn't make payments so it was repossed. Seems suspicious to me. If everything looks good though, and you can get a mechanic to look at it, then go for it. 15K is a good deal, well depending on the milage of course.

I couldn't imagine him not just selling it as a used/demo otherwise. It obviously went to Florida from here. Probably to a used car dealer.
