A. thats a lot of miles.
b. is the outside messed up"? or was it just debadged?
c. what kind of options? Im guessing since it has nav it also has premium package, etc? is it a 6MT with the Brembos and wheel/tire package?
d. what is the Kelly Blue Book on it?

Doesn't look debadged ... they flat out lost the I's.

It's also missing a lug on the tire in the picture.

Have you driven it?

It also has 17" 350z wheels on it. I'd venture to say that this car has lived a hard life. A simple test drive won't prove squat. There's too many decently priced, clean Gs around to choose this well worn example. A Carfax may give some insight on this car's history, but it's obviously been abused. I wouldn't trust it to have had regular maintenance, so you never know what type of catastrophic failure awaits. Run from this one.

If you are thinking about buying this car take the kbb trade-in value to the dealer and tell them that this is the trade in value of this car which means that this is what you payed for it, but this may not always work because some dealers usually pay more than that, they might drop the price more than what they quoted you. keep in mind wholesale on this vehicle is $21,125. if you need to run a carfax I can do that for you I would just need the VIN#
