Default Info on Z's and buying a Z

So guys I'm obviously new to the site and new to the car buying world. I've been interested in getting a 350z for awhile, I'm currently in the military stationed in Okinawa,JP and i have 7 months left out here. Meanwhile I've been trying to get some car shopping done so i can have a beautiful Z sitting in my driveway. I've looked at the more expensive route of buying one with less then 40k miles and I've seen some 100k+ for cheap cheap. If anyone could help me out with some info on if buying one with high mileage already is a horrible route to go or just quit being a cheap *** and just pay the money for the lower mileage.

Thanks.

???Whats your budget?
What can you afford to pay?
7 months before you will actually buy...
Why would you be shopping now?
Any car you find will be long gone by then.

I should be leaving island with at most 17k in the bank, im down to make payments that's not a issue, and reason for shopping now is i make more money out here on top of the fact that im not blowing as much cash as i would be stateside, so i could payoff more or have more money for upgrades. I'm currently sitting at 11k in the bank. Just didn't know if I'd end up paying more out the *** with fixing a car with higher mileage if it were to break down, break parts, etc. + my mother would be doing the purchase for me if i were to do it now, via wire transfer and what not.

Just save your money, when your a month out start looking for something with 40 to 60k on it. No point of buying the car early. What base are you getting stationed at next
