I personally wouldn't because for like maybe $8k more you'll get a brand new one with no issues and it'll be clean titled so you'll never have issues with trying to sell it AND if there is a problem with the car it's self then you're not gonna e wondering what the hell it is and you won't be blaming it on the fact that it's salvage and the car will probably last you a lot longer too. From self experience on buying salvage and used cars I'd say save your money and get a new one haha though the miles are nice and low. I have 113,400k miles on mine, clean title, 40th anniversary, weather and sport package and I still owe $18k+. So idk man you analyze it.

It has no warranty whatsoever after crash.
Bent frame?
Good luck with future resell value.
For the price, you can can find low mileage 09-12 around same price with clean title
More insurance cost for salvage vehicle
Any hidden issues? Refer to no warranty

I see. cant find touring version for that price

FairladyZ40th 02-26-2016 09:44 PM

You're going to be over paying. The car was declared total loss. Was the hit on the front? You're going to have engine trouble for sure sooner than later.

Engine rebuilt? Begs the question, is the car going to handle any mods you may plan on doing? Furthermore, how long will it go before it needs to be majorly fixed.

No warranties? You're walking into a mine field.

Feel like selling it? You're going to have to rip your self off if you want to resell it.

Brother, this is NOT what you want to hear, I know that! And I'm sorry but honestly these people are really trying to help ya out. Don't do it, you can get a whole lot better for just a little more or a just a little older of a model. That's it. Much love man. May the force be with you!

It will be a sellers nightmare when the time comes & quite possibly an owners nightmare as well during the ownership period. Unless I was building a dedicated race car, I would never buy a salvaged/ rebuilt titled vehicle.
$.02 :cool:

YMMV

Don't buy a wrecked car. Loss like from your info you already have a 2010. Why want a newer model? I had a 2011 and bought a 2014 and really had buyers remorse. It wasn't worth it in the long run for me.

UNKNOWN_370 02-27-2016 07:56 AM

Go buy that 328I, that Ford Mustang and whatever else you think is better than a Z n stop playing games.

SouthArk370Z 02-27-2016 09:13 AM

Unless you have the resources (time, cash, tools, workspace, knowledge, &c) to repair all the "little" things that are probably still wrong with the car and those that are likely to crop up in a salvaged vehicle, pass on it. Save up until you can afford one in much better shape.

UNKNOWN_370 02-27-2016 11:07 AM

Playing along with this... I'll say, you can get a clean carfax 2010 or 2011 fair mileage Z for the SAME money...

Hell no. Buy one that's slightly older and wasn't wrecked. Unless you want a track car. Then look for a better price. And a manual transmission. Either way, this is a terrible deal.

Z-Girl 12 02-27-2016 09:37 PM

Run Forest Run! Cargurus.com has a gazillion 370z from low to high mileage with clean car fax. Take your time...too much baggage with a title like that.

nis350 02-28-2016 10:27 PM

Great info. However, I would be more worry about what you don't see. There was frame damages based on the before photo.

I'd rather buy a well maintained older model for the same amount of money.

lol well i wasnt asking you directly was i. you didnt have to comment or follow me around.

settled on a car and im happy

RobV 02-29-2016 06:09 AM

What did you "settle" on?

Spstone 02-29-2016 07:04 AM

I used to have customers that would buy cars they couldn't afford with salvaged titles. By the time they got down with all the little **** that constantly popped up they would have been better off with saving a bigger down payment and buying one not salvaged. There are lots of sensors and circuitry that are just time bombs after a crash. Not to mention from and alignment issues that never seem to be made right after a crash. I would say even for a track day car I'd find a shell that a dude popped the motor and is off loading cheap before I did a salvaged titled car.

This. Salvage titles are for suckers. It's the most expensive cheap car you can buy.

MagmaRed370z 02-29-2016 07:17 AM

I would not do it. Find yourself a clean car with no issues. You will always wonder.....

mishuko 02-29-2016 08:20 AM

rush and buy = over pay for problems.


I was in a rush to buy... slowed my sorry *** down and got a deal on a newer lower mileage car. win win.

You're asking the Forum. Every single one of us is the forum Jungle Z.

That's way too pricey for a salvaged car regardless the year and mileage.

I've bought several salvaged cars and have been fortunate and have had 0 problems with them during long term ownership.

I bought my '09 Z Touring Manual in 2013 with 36K on it for $15K. I currently have 52K on it and listed it for $15K and found a buyer but it didn't sell since he couldn't get a loan for a salvage title car so be aware of that problem if/when you try to sell.

During these 2 years the car has been great knock on wood.

I also have an S2K that I have had for 10 years that's a rebuilt title and have had 0 issues knock on wood. Although that is a garage queen so really doesn't get used much.

I think people get too freaked out with rebuilt title cars. If it checks out and the price is right (not in this case) I don't see a problem.

I'd be less worried buying a rebuilt Japanese car than a preowned clean title European car!

FairladyZ40th 03-02-2016 01:21 PM

Good deal? Car is rebuilt.
