Default New 350z buyer

Should I buy a 350 with over 130k miles as a daily car? I mean the engines do last awhile if they are maintaned which i have no idea if it is or not. But is that even a fair price for thag mileage and is it even a good idea for that? Especially slmeone who wants to put any modification on it?

Welcome, but this is a case of learning how to size up a car on your own. Start by taking a close and detailed look at the factory service book that came with the car. Doesn't have one? Well, that's the first negative mark. Next, take your time and look at the service records the previous owner has kept. Ah, none available? Put that down too. If the owner says the car was exclusively serviced by a Nissan dealer, you can get him/her to go get a printout of their service record from the dealer to show you.

The question of whether a Z car with 130K on the clock will be a good DD really depends on the whether there's adequate documentation. You have to dig to find it and take time to assess the car. Most threads like this are started by noobs who have no real mechanical skills at all and little patience.

How are we supposed to answer this with no price, no pics, and no maintenance history??...
