Default Looking to Purchase 2005 350Z w/ a Greddy Twin Turbo

Hey Gang,

I’m new to section (own 04 350Z) , just looking for some advice/tips. I’m looking at a 2005 350Z with a Greddy Twin Turbo kit already installed. The car seams to be 100% stock other than the basic Greddy TT kit, 12,000 miles. The car is even rockin the stock 17" and exhaust. What are some of the things I should be looking for (other than the basics) when inspecting the car?

The car fax shows one owner, lease turn in, sold at auction, with no damage reports.

some shots of the car in question,





Thank you in advance,
Rob

Who puts a turbo on a leased car? That doesn't make sense to me.

Do a compression test and a leakdown test, if BOTH are good, and the car feels strong. Go for it. As long as the price is right.

Here is my opinion. If I was going to get a KILLER price on it, and it checked out good mechanically I would go for it. However, if they are asking anywhere near 29k+ I would rather buy one for 21k and have the mods done myself.
