Should I buy one?

Hey guys,

I am considering buying a used 350Z and need your input as I am very confused.

I currently have a BMW 335xi on lease that I need to return in a few weeks. I am a regular user - 8-9000 miles/yr and don't drive like a madman but do like the occasional rev from a traffic light etc. I live just north of NYC and roads are fairly well kept in the winter.

I am planning to buy a used 350Z as my primary car once I return my leases car. I was thinking of a 04/05 car with 70-100k miles for a year. It is the only ones that are coming in my budget of 10-12K (wife going back to school so finances are kind of tight now).

- how reliable is a 350Z of that year with 100K miles or so ? Don't want to spend my time in the workshop every week.
- if I put on snow tires will the car be ok in the winters?
- what are the things I should ask the seller/ look into when I buy the car? Potential problems?

I know some of these questions may be redundant in this forum but any help would be appreciated.
