Personally, I think it could be worth $13k if the car was more immaculate and didn't have some of those aesthetics, i.e. the godawful wheels, the mismatched bodykit, neon lights, and the "new paint job." I wonder what that's really covering.

Check the engine, see if you can poke around underneath the car, drive around and listen to the engine and in-cabin noises, etc. Hell, check all the fluids to see if they're clean or topped off.

Whether modding a kitchen or a car........the mods may only have value to the person who did them, especially the more specific or unique they are. This guy may believe his mods are just fantastic.

Specifics: The dual fog lights on the bumper. The wheels seem more appropriate for a Dodge product. The gigantic air inlet on the front of the bumper - which probably does not lead to anything.

Look for more of a "blank slate" car. It'll cost you less and will leave you a lot less to un-screw.

thanks, i got to drive it already and it sounds nice. Really smooth drive. I know that the mods detract from the value but its hard to find a low mileage 350z thats not too expensive, and if i had a 350z with no mods, id probably add most of the ones this one already has, just not the same ones.

I would sell you my 03 Touring with my Volks and name brand parts for 11K.... If that says anything. I have a feeling that car was ragged and beat on by a young person. Plus it's a auto, who buys a 2 door sports car that's a auto unless it has paddles??! Lol. His FS post would scare me away personally. Lights in the wheels, upgraded shifter?. Throws red flags to me personally.

Couldn't have said it better. Just keep it simple in life. It's nicer that way.

Pass... no thanks. You can find much better deals out there -- try to avoid modded cars.

Agreed the one I'm picking up only has an air intake and a front sway bar that's it everything else is stock.
