If I decide to go over and take a look, are there any things you guys recommend I keep an eye out for, especially on 2009 370Zs? Any common issues or signs of trouble? Any noises, behaviors, etc?

Anyway,

that last oil change gap has me a little worried, but my impulsive half is saying "ehh, he probably did an oil change elsewhere"...at least I would hope....For anyone who's wondering why I'm giving this particular car so much thought, it's a pretty good deal which fits nicely into my budget....

Thanks for your help so far guys, this forum is awesome!

I don't have oil change done at the dealer too, it's $75 VS $35 with same oil and filter...

No matter it was leased or owned, it is still
considered an used car, test drive it, see how do you feel, any rattle, smoothness of the engine, condition of the rubber sealing, if you can bring a mechanic friend to have him take a look it's even better!!
