Default Need advice on buying my first 350z

Hey guys, longtime lurker but i thought i would ask for opinions about buying my first 350z. I've looked around for around 8 months for the right example and i think i may have found one. It's a 2006 Touring 350z with 150k on the odo, and is rolling on Enkei Kojin Rims. Upon inspection I found that it has some minor cosmetic damage including a small dent on the passenger side door and would probably need a new front bumper. Other then the cosmetic issues the car ran alright but the clutch was already on its way out and would need to get replaced if I were to buy it. I just thought I would ask and see what other people who are more experienced with these cars would think. Thanks!

Service records available? 2006, being the "notorious" year for oil burning engines, wise to check that, especially with that kind of mileage on it. Cosmetic damage is fixable cheaply. Engines not so much. The only way to know for sure about the overall condition of the car is a PPI, available from dealers or shops that know the Z car.
