Ok. I ran into some money otherwise I wouldnt be looking. I want something cheap and fun to work on, I already own a 4x4 07 crv, and miss my old 240sx from highschool.

So heres the details
2005 burnt orange
Manual
Cloth interior
120k
repainted in feb due to clearcoat coming off
Radiator replaced at 100k per nissan rec's he said
passenger window goes down but not up, new motor included
seats are a bit torn up, but to be expected
carfax says one incident where his car was backed into while parked outside his house
headlights replaced and look great
still in stock form

Ive been following this guys ads and its gone down from 6500 to 5k even. Hes a few hurs from me so jsut trying to do my homework and see what I should be looking out for. I asked him straight up as it will be a autox and weekend car for me, and he says mechanically it drives and feels great. He is also the original owner..

deal or no deal?

 

Seems to be pretty cheap / good deal maybe. Do you have any pictures? What trim is it? How do other Z's price in that / your area? Also, make sure to test drive it if you're that interested.

Definitely post some pics.

 

He just sent these...in my area most cars this age are rebuilt/salvaged...So the clean title is a big deal to me, and no mods it looks like. The wheels are awful but that can all be changed in time.

 

and the 5k Z is now a reality.... where is the car if it a couple hours away

interior looks good, engine bay dirty as hell

 

Im actually in FL now, not Texas, so its down here somewhere

 

Sad isn't it?

Agreed, the engine bay is extremely dirty, also it might just be the picture but the top portion of the interior looks good. Not sure what the part is called but where the AC controls and shift boot are looks like it was repainted black and looks a little grody. All-in-all for 5k it does not look like a bad car.

I would suggest attempting to get a car fax, or any other info you can. TEST DRIVE IT NO MATTER WHAT.

 

i mean if you are going to beat the hell out of it on the track, it is a great deal... not a bad deal in general anyway

 

The right rear is pretty curbed up. They sprayed the front fascia fins also. If it was my $ I'd get 2 pieces of white posterboard to ck for engine / tranny leaks. If good, go for it.

 

i think its just a reflection off the chrome.... dunno

 

Nah san. Dent and irregular edge at 2:30. Spreads up nicely w 2400 pixels on the Tab 4 pro.

 

What do you do for a living? CSI? Geez.

 

i see the dent now, but that doesnt look like a curb hit to me... it looks like something hit it

 

Oil pressure gauge/sender looks broken. Voltage gauge shows car off and oil gauge almost maxed out
Also, make sure you get the color code he used if you're buying it.

 

I'm almost sure it isn't the original motor. he probably blew the motor then replaced it with a salvaged one. paint looks decent tho.

 

this z was probably beat to **** only way it would be listed for 5k.

 

Now i c why your sn is deadeye haha

 

This Z looks like it was wrecked. Front bumper has been painted and the hood doesn't look like it closes right. Large gap on the sides but looks closed from the front.

 

guess you just looked and didnt read. not to mention it is only 5k, it isnt going to be perfect

 

You're right, I didn't read. I scanned quickly. But what body shop can't fix that? I'm surprised that he accepted it back that way, since he is the original owner.

 

it almost looks like the hood is popped (not latched... dunno), look at the pic facing straight at the bumper
