Default Thoughts on this Base 2008 350z

What do you guys think about the price on this 350z w/ 93k? The only thing that concerns me is its a base model (but does it really matter?). Asking 12,000$ btw

"Car has 93k all highway. 2nd owner CLEAN title. Intake, greddy full exhaust, lowering springs, and Volk te36."

Thanks in advance

If you've talked him down $3.5k, that's not a bad deal. I picked up my 2008 Base with 36k miles and new Pilot Super Sport tires for $15k

Wheels are "Reps" they don't have any of the Volk forging marks between the spokes.

I would be careful. Since he has replica parts and the fact it's modded it could have been abused.

Price is okay but why not get a VQ for 9,000 with the same miles?

Can you really tell they are replicas based off those pictures?

If they were real would it be worth it? I'm really shooting for an HR motor, aside from the price what would the the benefit of a VQ over an HR?

Hey told me they were TE37s, when listing it he made a typo calling then TE36. Are you for sure they are replicas based off the pictures? I'll confront him about it if you're for sure

The wheels look real to me. Just ask the seller for a close up picture of the wheel. If he is really interested in selling, I'm sure he could give you a picture of the back of one of the wheels as well.

I also found this, vendor on selling volks and the mag blue set they have pictured do not have the rays logo printed on the inside. Maybe not all TE37s have that printed?

The picture you are referring to is an older model 18" TE-37 before they added the lettering in between the spokes (due to replicas). However, the car you are interested in has 19" wheels and ALL 19" TE-37s have writing in between the spokes. A close-up/clear picture of the wheels will verify.

Thanks for the info! I'm supposed to get pictures tonight. I'll double check and verify this!

Needless to say if these wheels are deemed legit, I'm probably going to get the car this weekend! Keep your fingers crossed!

Looks like im SOL... I dont think there is any Rays branding on the rim. Can someone confirm this so I know I'm not jumping to conclusions.

Correct, they are fake. The decals were even put on the wrong spokes.

Here is the new response I got when I asked for a shot of the rear of the wheels. Upon receiving the picture I asked for a better one because... What the hell am I looking at? Blurred wheel? Apparently this is best he can give me... lol

Can anyone even make out whats on it???

IF there is ANY doubt, walk away. I was talking to a guy in Cali that was going to sell me his "TE37s". I asked over and over and he provided blurry picture and excuse after excuse. I said it was too much and he came down $500 right away..... red flag city

If I recall, the seller DID scam someone on here, or on teh FB group and the buyer just wanted to sell the wheels for 1/3rd what he paid and was getting low balled at that....

DO NOT DO IT. There are better base models out there.
