Hey Guys,

I've found a pretty good deal on a previously leased 370Z. It was leased by one owner for 2 years/ ~20k miles. Now I know what is said about leased cars: the owners may have beat on them and not done the proper maintenance etc etc. but what do you guys think? Is there anything I should watch out for? The impression I get is that the z is a pretty well built car. My reasoning is how bad could it really be? Maybe they went hard on the clutch, but what else could get seriously messed up? Do you guys think any major issues, i.e. with the engine, could crop up later on? Plus it still has some bumper to bumper warranty left as well as several years of powertrain warranty. Anyway, what should I look out for when checking it out and test driving it? Are there any common problems on 2009 Z's which I should keep an eye out for? Thanks in advance for your guys' help!
