As you see there is a red Z with what looks like a turbonetics turbo kit on it with lambo doors. The carfax report says the last owner who had it registered it in jacksonville. With the lambo doors it has i figured someone would have had to seen this car. It is such a good deal Im trying to figure out more info on it. Thanks a lot guys!

being that the vehicle is in jacksonville ,NC and the marine corps sticker on it the car was more than likely driven pretty hard. i would definitely get it checked out before buying it.

A 350Z is fast already as NA, FI, turbocharging it makes it faster, so he must have driven it hard.
Marine Corps has nothing to do with it. If any, they are Honorable Men serving their country.

There is a difference buying a forced inducted car from someone you know or a well known member on here. Usually they have it installed and tuned professionally. Especially the tune, you really want to know that the owner had it done correctly.
By looking at those cheap chromes and lambo doors, i would stay away from that car as far as possible. Don't be surprised if your car blows up.
If you do buy it, just make sure you aren't financing it since paying monthly for a car that can/will break on you isn't fun.

Im sure I could get it down to low 18's....which for low 18's with an aftermarket exhaust/alpine type R sound system/aftermarket rims/ and a turbo for a an 03 track Z is a good deal if it were in good condition.
