Should I buy this 350z and for what price?
Should I buy this 350z and for what price? Here is the ad:
https://detroit.craigslist.org/mcb/c...537816121.html
It has a salvage title which was done by an auto auction at around 105k miles. It was a lease for the first 22k miles. I spoke to the current owner and he claims that it was made a salvage title due to the previous owner/auto auction basically committing insurance fraud since they knew someone who worked at progressive and was able to get an 11k or so payout and keep the car (or something).. and that it was never actually wrecked/damaged in any way to warrant a salvage title. The current owner agreed that I could take it up to a local shop to put it up on a hoist to inspect it.. I would also like to compression test the engine.
My instincts tell me to stay away, however, it's the color scheme and year that I want and it's around what I can actually afford. I don't think I would offer $5500.00 (what they are asking) in any event. VIN is J21AZ36A64T016190 in case it's useful to anyone.
I know I'm a noob on these forums but I would really appreciate feedback on what I should do, things I should consider, and what price I should offer! thanks in advance
