Default My deal - good or bad?

Hi guys,

I'm new to this forum and to 370z ownership. Bought my first Z two months ago. 2013 370z touring + sport, solid red, automatic, 7.8k miles for 24.5k in Texas. Car is spotless, interior is brand new. In fact, still had plastic in some areas in the trunk. pretty much like a brand new car. What do you guys think?

Follow up question - anything I should be looking out for in terms of repairs?
I calculated over 5 full tanks and I'm averaging about 17mpg, is this normal so far?
oil temp seems to be around 180. it jumps to 200-220 if its pretty hot outside (100+) and semi spirited driving.

Thanks!

Welcome, she's a beauty.

Be prepared to replace your CSC (there are MANY posts about it on the forum)

You should consider getting an oil cooler...25 row or more, especially if you do a lot of 'spirited' driving or tracking.

gas mileage isn't something I ever thought about or consider in the Z

6 months ago I was about to find 2014-2015 touring models with under 10k miles for $25k or less.

and that was on CARMAX, where they inflate the price due to their so called "glorious warranty and inspection"

Get them down to $23.5k...Id tell them $23k honestly once I told them my first sentence.
