Default Looking At a Z tomorrow...

Hello, going with my dad to look at a Z tomorrow for his daily driver. I've already read the top 100 questions-lots of good info there. Anything I should look for that would stand out as a reason to tell dad to walk away?

Here is the one he really wants to look at:

Hope that link works-sorry if I seem like a "NEWB." When it comes to Zs I am a newb. LOL

I'd prefer to go with an '06 model with less problems, better lights and better interior. The monthly payments would not be a lot more. My .02


Ok... In that case, I'd go for a used '05.

He doesn't want a brand new car. No reason for that.

Thanks though

Yeah, I know. He doesn't want to spend over a certain amount, and when he sets his mind to something, there is no stopping him. He saw the low miles on this one, and another add for the same car with a lower price, and decided we'll go look at it.

Anything major I should look for?

I'd have a qualified mechanic look at the car. Good Luck!

Not to be rude, but what part of "He bought that 04" was hard to understand.

LOL, he loves it. It's a great daily driver for him-sporty enough that he still has fun with it.

Maybe you didn't get the fact that I wasn't the one looking for a Z.

...going with my dad to look at a Z tomorrow for his daily driver...


It's all good. I cleaned up the Z for him yesterday, but it snowed a little bit last night and the Z had to get dirty again. LOL
