If the deal is too good to be true, then I likely is. And yes, someone can steel a car and sell it on autotrader. Hell, someone can try to sell "someone else's" car on autotrader (Scam).

What is your question? If you want to know how a car is you have to go see it and drive it. Well, since you're not officially getting it you should make your mom drive it and you sit next to her. If you like it, go for it...

Find someone local who knows a lot about cars and have them go look at one with you. Even better, find the nearest Z club chapter. Attend some meetings and meet some real 350Z owners. More often than not, they will be willing to talk to you about Zs, tell you what to look for and maybe even go with you to look at ones you locate on Autotrader, etc.

Whatever you do, don't take out advise too seriously, Like I said, we can't see the cars in person and can't offer you realistic advice. About all we can do is warn you when something in the listing doesn't look quite right.

OP is now in bed . . . past his bedtime. Hmmm, 16-year old driving a Z. Scary . . . I'm glad he lives in Florida. Is he on "probation" even though he's back?

well it depends on what you want....do you want an automatic or do you want a six-speed manual? Its your choice. Time to make your own decisions. O yeah, do a carfax before you buy.

lol my favorite person is back.

test drive both. what happened to not being able to test drive them? you mentioned that they wouldnt let you test drive the car unless you had the money to buy it?

and i think buying a 16 year old a 350Z is absolutely absurd.

im 18, and if i had known what type of power and handling i was getting when i bought my car, i would not have allowed myself to buy it. this is a serious driving car. its got gobs of hp and tq, and as many fellow members are figuring out, it takes skill and finesse to drive. Just look at how many "totalled the Z" threads there are. it scares me ****less to know that a 16 year old with next to no driving experience will be driving this car.

Even I am scared to drive this car the way it was meant to be driven, and i still think im invincible i know i cant handle this car, so i dont push it. will you have the same foresight? or will you be another statistic that raises my insurance and blames the car, the tires, the engine, the tranny, the rain, the road, the sunspots on venus...etc...

At 16 you're not even legally able to buy a car. More than likely they will not even let you test drive it. Schedule some appointments to see the car.. take your parents and a good mechanic and make a wise desicion.

I live in FL and am not thrilled about having an inexperienced 16 y/o driving this car. Try to not kill anyone and stay away from me on the road.

Since you stated you can't drive a manual, the choice is a no brainer!

Without even checking the CarFax report, I can make an educated guess that these cars either have flood titles or salvage titles. Don't get either one.
