Well, I went to Wayzata Nissan between my two jobs today to look at it. Be ready for a long post!
The dealership is very small. I didn't even have anywhere to park my Z! They had lots of nice cars crammed into that lot though. They had like 4 370'z, a GTR some nice beamers. But I didn't see a Nismo. So I walked in and asked the first guy about it. He said it was in the body shop getting the bumper fixed. My SCAM Alert radar went of. I asked why it was in the body shop and he said it was getting some paint chips and what not fixed. Then I was like ok that makes sense. I told him the story of having a buddy that is looking at it and I was checking it out before he got serious about a purchase. So we go back and the car wasn't actually IN the body shop. It was out back. And on to condition.
I didn't snap any pics just because I felt super awkward. But I remember everything about it considering it was 20 mins ago. The first thing I noticed was curb rash on the wheels. The fron passenger wheel has curb rash about 1/4th the distance around the wheel. The Drivers Side has only about 3/4 inches of curb rash. The driver rear wheel has curb rash about 1/2 diameter around the wheel. The tires are in decent condition. I'd say 60-65%
The interior was nice for the most part. It was obvious the the previous owner didn't car about the car. (there is a reason for this lack of care that I'll explain later on) The driver, interior door handle looks like freddy krueger must have owned the car. Idk how nails get that sharp to scratch the door like that. Also on the driver side, the weather stripping has worn off. Again idk how they managed this in 8.5k miles
Lastly there was only 1 nismo floor mat. I asked where the other one was and he couldn't tell me. But the rest of the interior was really good.
I started the car, and all sounded good. I didn't get to drive it, but mechanically I doubt there are any problems.
One to warranty and other things. The reason why they wouldn't put a certified warranty on it is because they just don't do that at that location. Reason being because it costs them to much money to get it certified through nissan. But you can still purchase and extended warranty. Also that car is still covered under the Manufactures warranty for 1 more years for electric stuff, and 3 more years for power train.
Over all I think it is a gorgeous car. I love Nismos and the red is so bright. It looked damn good sitting there. But I would definitely have them drop the price at least 2k for the wheels rash, floor mats and scratches.
If you have any questions pm me your number and I'll call you when i'm done w/ work.
Oh btw the number is 328
