Questioning a buy

zellsexy · 03-15-2012, 12:38 AM

Would it be worth buying a used 370z that comers with mods? Like exhaust. Tune. Gen 3 intake. Pulleys. HFCs. Or would it cause soon ? 20 k miles

wstar · 03-15-2012, 01:01 AM

I think it would definitely cause soon 20k miles.

I think he meant to say

"Would it be worth buying a used 370z that comes with mods? These mods include exhaust, tune, gen 3 intake, pulleys, and hfc. Or would these mods cause problems soon, because the car has 20k miles on it already. "

Really, the person you buy it from would matter more to me. I would rather buy a car from some OCD freak like myself who does tasteful mods than from someone who keeps the car stock and doesn't care about it and bounces off the rev-limiter doing doughnuts in the parkinglot.

Yeah, with a modded car it's all about the seller. Find out who did the work (what shop, or the owner themselves), what the goal was, get a good look at the car. Try to figure out if the car's been abused (but that's just standard advice for any used car).

zguynate · 03-15-2012, 10:17 AM

Haha. This thread is funny. It really depends on what you want. If you want mods already on the car that's one thing. However my main concern would be how the car was driven and maintained. Just because a car is modded doesn't mean that it was abused, but you never know.
