hey im looking for a Z and my budget is 10k

i talked to this guy about his Z, just want some opinions from you guys.
i can probably lower the price.

Looks okay from the pics take it for a drive see how it runs ..I'd check all fluids and the undercarriage it will give you an idea if the owner took care of it

 

He just got a new clutch in there. I'm just worried about the high miles since it will be my DD.

 

I say take it to a mechanic and have them do a full inspection to see if everything check out ok. plus i say the price seems pretty good if it has the such features.


P.s piecing together the parts it has on it alone would be a quarter of the car in price.

hope this helps.

 

The major concern I have Is the high miles. I have a friend with a s2000 with 120k miles but then again it's a Honda and it's reliable. It won't hurt to check it out I guess

 

Do you want to maintain a vehicle with 112,000 miles?

 

Not really but it's hard to come across a Z with a good deal here

 

I sold mine with 150k miles on it and it hadn't had any major issues if that helps..

 

People have a lot more miles on this forum...but maybe you should buy a different car

 

mine was babied and still threw a rod at 104k

youre buying a 10k car, and thats dirt cheap..a great deal if you can hack the price of repairs and upkeep.
Not a good idea if 10k is your max to get into the Z game at all.

ante up and spend 15 and buy a real car, say, one w 58k miles.

What youre asking is wether or not its a crap shoot to buy that car.. well sir, it is.
Sorry man.

 

Go look at the car in person and take it to a mechanic. Although the VQ engine is reliable, with any car with higher mileage, expect to shell out some extra cash for general maintenance (that, or save up for a car with lower miles).

 

I Always wanted a 350z since i was a kid,aha.. and now I actually think I can get one for a good deal. Otherwise I would end up with a rsx-s which is becoming desperate lol. Il just man up and take a look at it and have a shop inspect it. Thanks for everyones advice!

 

it has 35th anniversary rims, maybe there's a reason why?

 

112,000 miles may not be a "good deal" at any price. If you can afford to maintain the car go for it.

 

I think I might just wait for something better.

 

I live in the ATL area..looks like a great price if the car inspects well.
By the photos,it looks like he put later model wheels(black powder coated?) on the.
As I said,excellent price for this area for a track ...if no major mechanical issues.

 

yea the interior pictures look so much clean he sent me.
im looking at it this sunday and hopefully monday it will be mine!

 

You are a noob and I am a noob on this forum but what ever...send me a PM and i will give you a free autocheck report to let you know the history on the vehicle.


ALL you other random ****'s don't clog up my inbox with your vin requests..this is a 1 time thing for this guy and who ever else i feel like running a report for.
