And also if you are only concerned in price buy a z in winter. They are very price sensitive when it comes to winter and you could save a couple thousand.

It really depend on what you plan on doing with it. If I were you, I'll do a hard test drive, check for power responding with how the motor and trans react, check for bearing noise, leak, oil, trans fluid and have someone rave up the motor while you look at the tail pipe for sign of smokes. Sometime it a lady owner and take good care of the car and don't abuse the car like some guys do and it still run well with high miles on it or mostly HWY miles. Before I bought my Z, I have 2 choice of Z for the same price with a lower and higher miles. the lower miles Z runs like Honda and higher miles Z still runs like only have 10k miles it. I did bought the one with a little higher miles and it was a older lady driven it. just my 2 cents.

I wouldn't buy it.
I read somewhere the Z engine (VQ) is supposed to go 200k miles stock. Anything after that, you may have to do some major maintanance.

LOL Auto-basher, z clutches suck and aren't worth replacing. Plus 95%of stick drivers don't shift correctly so auto beats manual every time.If you push your car to the max a lot shifting is annoying and slower Lol

Does it seem like a care? I was just hopping around and so many people bash autos when I beat manuals all day because manuals shift slow asf in z's with a stock clutch. I'm just wondering why it even matters Lol
