Default Help with buying this 350z

So im wanting this 06 350z 70k miles on it 4 owners with a nice carfax, was serviced well and maintained well. The guy im trying to buy it from is asking 12,000USD. The interior is clean, little damage one of the nicer interiors ive seen in used car sales for 350z's.

Has some cosmetic damage on the outside, scuffs on the front bumper and a pretty large drift stitched hole in the back bumper (i can get over these cosmetic things for a low milage well maintaned car..)..

Its a black base model, 06. He's added mods to it Kansei toku wheels + tires
Z1 intake
z1 rear toe arms
z1 wiper delete
a wing
and some coilover mods.

My question is does this devalue the car below the 12k mark and should i be worried about buying a modded car?

70k miles is nice, 12k is affordable for me but i want to hear your opinions on the matter. thanks for your time.

Regards Quuabi:
Sounds like "rode hard & put up wet".

As always, I suggest buyers pay for a professional assessment of the mechanical condition of any car they are serious about buying. This is a separate written report from what a dealership provides and be prepared to pay $200-300 for it. It's the only way to really know what you're buying, and what extra cash you'll need on hand to bring the Z back to optimal condition.

Or just link in general. The description is useless for anyone to assess.
No one is going to buy it from under you

Depending how high your budget goes, I have a 2005 6MT Enthusiast with 25K miles on it for sale in MA. I know its a decent trip for you, but may be worth it if you're desiring a truly low mileage Z.

Better yet, post pictures in a 'for sale' ad under the new classifieds section. Then link that ad to this thread.
