Default Another trying to buy a Z thread

So i got in a nasty accident and have 14k to spend on a z.

i saw a blue z over the weekend the guy wanted 15k..

2006 automatic with 41000 miles.

The bad, it has been repainted because the previous owner scratched the driver side door so now the car has over spray. Needs to new rear tires, new brake pads, the inside arm rest on the drivers side was all messed up. The car kinda looks neglected. Minor things like it was missing the plastic case that covers the battery up. I was planning on taking it to AAA for a full inspection but What do you guys think? main problem to me is that the car has been rapainted.

Im in no hurry, just want to find a good low mile automatic z.

Keep looking man. Pass this one up. I bought mine few months ago, an 05 touring with 25xxx for 14k from dealer,(before taxes). Saw plenty of private ones that were auto with low mileage from 11-16k in better condition from 03-06. You can do better imo.

Agree.

Yet to figure out why new members would even consider a POS Z? Because its cheap to fix? Not smart. If it was cheap to fix the seller would fix it before selling.

lol the dude wanted 14.5k, screw that $hit. It seemed nice but it seems too much for a 9 year old car.

edit: I'm talking about the 2004 roadster with 41 k miles.

Yup, i saw it. From far away it looked in great condition, but it did look neglected from the engine area to the inside of the car which i noticed he was smoking and the inside was really dirty. Who knows if the oil changes were done on time. lol

What do you guys think, saw another one.


2006 automatic Touring coupe 77k miles $12999 OBO.

Who cares what the seller wanted. The seller may want your first born child and an hour with your wife. Did you offer 13410 as I recommended?
