Need advice for buying 370z

eddieconfetti · 02-03-2011, 08:43 AM

I wouldnt mind buying repaired cars as long as its cosmetics. If there were any damage done to the engine and was repaired, then i would avoid. Cosmetic damages are no biggie to me. Curb rashes are also not a big deal. Could happen to anyone and if its stock, who cares. Just dont scuff up your aftermarket rims. 54k is alot. I bought my car july or august of 2009. right now i have about 31000 miles.

Also.... buying a car off of a website is kind of a crazy concept to me. Can't inspect it? My Z was 3 states away and I still made the lonnng drive to see it twice. You also want to have it inspected by a mechanic before you buy (although I didn't, but I bought mine from a forum member) - especially if it was crashed in the past!

I would stay away from a car that has 54k miles and all sorts of road rash. It just shows the previous owner was an idiot and didn't take care of his car. I'm not sure how much you are planning to spend but this is an example of a car worth buying...

You may have to pay up to $900 to get it shipped but it will still be less than $26k.

I wouldn't buy a car I couldn't visually inspect with my own two eyeballs. A great majority of online car sales and auctions are scams anyway. Don't do it.

Close your eyes and say" what am i doing?" Now open them wider and look for a car you and a mechanic can inspect.
