Default Looking to buy this car...procharger..

Hi,
Im looking at possibly purchasing a 03 base z with a procharger.
car currently has 72K miles, procharger installed and tuned by a reputable Z shop at around 60K miles.

https://my350z.com/forum/buying-leas...it-or-not.html

Would you trust purchasinga used car like this.

Im interested to hear from FI ppl and see what their mileage, power,etc... is and see how reliable the cars have been.

Rob

do a compression and leakdown test and get some pulls done on a local dyno to look for hiccups and current state of tune (AFR, knock count). This will be your first indication if it is worth buying. I would never purchase a non-FI FI'ed car without this info at a MINIMUM. Then start the normal used car checks after the tests and dyno.

You need to find out if FunctionTuned did the install or tune.....if Dave did i would not be hesitant to buy it.I would still have a c-test and ld-test done.
