Default Buying a rebuilt 350z

Hello everyone! I'm a new member here and got a few questions about me buying a rebuilt title 350z. It has 86k miles with no frame damage(at least that's what he told me) he is the 2nd owner of the car and needs money to support his family financially. He didnt register this car on him and the title's owner is still the previous owner. He is selling it for $7500. Here's are all the facts that i can get from the car. Let me see what you guys think. Thank you!

I would walk away from that car..............no, I would run away very quickly. Keep looking until you find a car with a clean title.

Agreed.

You're just gambling and asking for trouble. I'd keep looking.

What problems could i have if i decide to buy it for $7500? With no frame damage is it really that bad?

#1- you're taking his word that there's no frame damage. Caveat emptor.

#2- a rebuilt title means you may not be able to get full insurance for the Z.

#3- a rebuilt (salvage) title is always bad for resale value and it'll never be worth what you paid for it.

If you can afford to risk losing $7500 and then still be able to buy another car after possibly writing off most of the $7500, it's just a gamble.

If the car runs as good as the pics make it look, great.

If the car is a heap of crap.....you just rolled snake eyes.

BTW, the wheels he has on the car now were never offered for the Z in 08. He says there was damage to one wheel/corner, but he has four wheels that did not come with the car.

I'll bet you It would be a hell of work to have your name registered and titled on this car.
