Default Good buy or no? Need advice

Still looking for my first z and ran into this one.
2003
Touring model
Silver stone or chrome metallic I can't tell (was looking for white or black)
114k miles
Clean title
6 speed
Mods: no name cool air intake
Real hks exhaust(he has receipt and emblem that comes with it also sent me a video)
Tien springs
Side skirts
Front lip
Says is mechanically sound has a good scratch on front from a shopping cart.
Here are pics. He is asking 6000 and that is after a week of talking him down. 3 hour drive for me. Thanks




























Really wasn't looking for a silver or a touring model but this seems to be a great deal. Any input is greatly appreciated.

The wear on that seat looks severe. Get ready to do some reconditioning. As for mechanical condition, don't rely on random advice from an Internet board. Hire a Nissan specialist to do a full assessment of the car before you buy.

My real HKS didn't come with an emblem. You can get those off ebay for the cheap. Those seats are wrecked. The rest of the interior seems taken care of. But, if its not what you were looking for, I'm sure you can find something with lower miles.

Edit: ebay lip with NISMO rep skirts. Fitment is horrible.

Based on the condition of the stuff that you can see, like the seats (and who doesn't vacuum a car that they are trying to sell???), I would not trust that this owner took any type of care of regular maintenance. I would stay away.

Ugh that car is rough

Not sure what you're expecting for that price, from what I can tell its been treated with the cheapest modifications someone could do

I can only suggest to get it inspected by a mechanic
