this is the 350z i found the guy came down to 4900 but im still sticking to my 4000 offer price. what do you guys think should i get it or not? what are some possible issues i could run into if i do get this? this is as close as i have gotten to a 350z the guy is also 2 and a half hours driving distance away. he says it runs but when i ask him if it drives he doesnt respond. oh and also what do you think ill be paying for repairs on this? all help is appreciated thanks.

 

"the driver is a non-smoker"

lmao as if that would matter hwen you have to replace the roof windshield and hatch...and pillars.....and hafl the car

 

so no?

 

Chop the top, then give an ice cream paint job...

Srsly tho, it looks like it lost it's structural integrity...

 

dude, don't get that. The car is messed up, too much of a headache trying to fix all that up.

 

Yo
I know how you feel.
But trust don't get it.
You will regret it and be like I ****ed up.
I am telling you from past experiences.

save your money
and better opportunities will come up.

 

I would pass, that thing is beat the Eff up!!

 

im on a really TIGHT budget ive been looking at altimas too but its just not the same i been wanting this car since i was 11 when it first came out

 

I'm going to look at it on Thursday i appreciate the input from you guys and ill take it into serious consideration my cousin owns a shop in Dallas off of spring valley road. I don't know if you guys know him or not; its spring valley tire. I'm sure that he could get the parts cheap and install them perfectly. I'll check the frame out and the structural integrity as you said to see if there is any unrepairable damage. If it is so beat up to the point where it can not be fixed I'll leave it as it is and continue my endless search for my z. Thanks again. Oh sorry for the double post and fyi the guy has come down to 4000.

 

The wheels look good.

 

I wonder what he has under the other tarps....

 

Honestly , he could probably buy it and sell a lot of the parts and make his money back and then some if he could get it for 4k. Thats what I was thinking at least when I saw the pics. If you wanted to fix it though, no way not worth the headache and expense unless your a body shop and know how to do this which if that were the case then you wouldn't be asking this question here.

 

assuming you want this as a daily driver? No
project car? Maybe
Im not an expert but I would ask someone that works in collusion repair to look at it. In situations like this, you get more than what you bargain for...

If you wave the 4k in his face, how could he say no? Just be careful man

 

Do you have a decent job? Go finance a used 350z and put 3500 down from the 4k you have now, then make payments.

 

then maybe this isnt the right car for you at this time to begin with. wait until you can afford something you wont have to screw around with. a "TIGHT" budget will not allow you to make the proper repairs to this car. spend the proper amount of cash on a well running, structurally sound vehicle that wont cost you anything in repairs, and will allow you to stick to your "TIGHT" budget.

 

you are a fool if you think you can buy some totaled z on a 'tight budget' and repair it.

 

Great, and now you're what, 18?

Just save up and buy a car that isn't totaled. You realize that he probably "bought it back" from the insurance company for $1,000-$1,500, after the totaled it out, right?

 

This is funny. Kids see the price tag of $4000 and think it's a deal. That top cannot be fixed without sourcing another wrecked 350z and having the top cut off the donor car and then welded onto yours. Welds are strong but you have to deal with the alignments, which I'm sure will be a nightmare. 10/1 says if you did get it fixed you'll have water leaking in from either A. the windshield B. door windows C. rear window. Not to mention you'll need a new door skin for both doors, front right/left fender, side mirrors, rear quarter panel (which is welded in), and the whole car painted again. You're going to spend too much for a headache. I'm sure it'll end up like this again once you get a hold of it, seems as though every 18 yr old kid with a sports car destroys it.

My advice, wait, buy a Civic and play F&F for a few years until you can afford a real car or car payment.

 

+1 youll have a decent Z w/o needing repairs

 

In for watching this kid dig himself into a hole larger than the grand canyon. Sorry bud........ this is a no brainer. Get a 1992 Saturn or something.
