Considering trading my '15 base model auto for a heavily modified '09 sport trim manu

TheWolfe · 04-16-2019, 02:20 PM

Instagram user @forkickx is selling his 370z. I asked on Reddit (/r/370z) what they thought about the trade, and everyone said don't do it. I'm very biased, so that's why I'm asking here and on Reddit for your opinions.

Here's the original text I posted on Reddit:

I know it sounds kinda dumb, but it's clean and I really like what he's done with it. It's essentially modifications I've been saving up for after college anyway, plus I'd like to go for a manual Z this time around anyway.

I've got 30,000 miles on my Z, seller has 80,000 on his.

What should I look for? What should I ask about? Should I be talked out of this deal? I'm asking here for help, since I'm obviously biased because I've been following the guy on Instagram for a couple of years now, watching his build really take off.

I asked for a full parts list and this is what he sent me:

Quote:

What do you think? Should I be talked out of this deal? These are all modifications I was planning on getting anyway, give or take a few. I don't think I want to dump another $30k into my car, so this seemed like a perfect solution.
