Should I pull the trigger. I woud have to pay around 3000 dollars for this deal does not include tax I would have to pay also. I can't give a good reason for wanting to change cars just that I have had the Z for quite some time and having a coupe vette with removal hard top appeals to me and I have always wanted a Corvette.

Do it. If the car’s in great shape and not a money pit, why not? You’re not cheating on your hot girlfriend or divorcing your wife, you’re experiencing a different car.
The reason why I’m on this forum, is because I’ve owned a number of other sports cars, currently an M2, but the Z for driver enjoyment is up there with all of them. Back in the day, I owned a 72 Vette and sold it for a 76 280Z, in I believe the year of 1980. It would have been nice to own both, but that wasn’t reality.
I sold the Z about 6 years later. Got married, and was going to have kids, so there went the Z. About 16 years later got into a G35C.
Point being, life goes in all different directions. So a 2 seat sports car is probably not a life long decision. If you love cars, enjoy as many as you can (affordability speaking wise). Because you never know when these wonderful ICE dinosaurs will end.
