Default Good deal?

2003 350z base. 130k miles, engine was replaced (90k on replacement)

Small windshield shatter towards bottom, minor hood damage and a moderate dent on roof. Tops of front quarter panels slightly bent.

Seller was asking 4600, have him at 4200 now. Completely stock.

Autocheck is clean.

Edit: just discovered it needs new tires. This is seeming like a money pit, might just back off from this one.

That's what's called a "parts car".

The idiot didn't latch the hood properly when he took someone for a test drive so it came off while driving.

Engine got replaced at 90k, I think it's still good?

If you're looking for a well conditioned Z, raise your budget so you're not buying a shitbox.

With respect, sir. Post 1. Line 1 say 90k on replacement. This poor Z has been used and abused if all info correct.

I never said I was a good reader. What's worse is I double read before I commented. My apologies.

Yes for clarification. The replacement engine was used with 90k miles already on it at time of install. Seller also put in a new thermostat, claimed old engine was overheating. I doubt I will buy this, I'm friends with a certified Nissan mechanic and I could get a free windshield from another friend. I definitely don't want to be pouring money into this thing all the time though. Seems like a headache waiting to happen. Just thought it could possibly be worth it if I got him under 4k.
