Default New to the Z Field

Im a 20 year old college student and just recently purchased my first 350z. Looked it up on KBB and it seemed like a good deal. i wanted to see what the rest of you think. its a 2005 Fairlady Z, 6 speed manual, 80,000 miles, has 19 inch rims of a brand i cant really identify, 285/35R19 in the back and 235/35R19 in the front, the car has an aftermarket Pioneer double din in-dash with GPS, the car has been lowered but seems to have been done so by cutting the springs (the drive still feels great just a bit stiff on bumps) like i said, im a noob and just looking to get some input from you guys. Purchased it for $12,000

Welcome! Congrats on the purchase. I doubt your springs are cut... I bet someone installed lowering springs.

Welcome and congratulations.

Keep a eye on motor oil level
Have a mechanic look at the suspension. Cut springs are OK but may damage dampers. Take a look.

Enjoy the ride.

Congrats! At least you got the drop, head unit, and wheels out of the way. I'd remove the smoked out tail lights.

Welcome and congrats!
I'd says it's a pretty good price. I got my 04 enthusiast with 49k for $13.5
