Would you buy a 370Z with a replaced engine?

why not just look around more for one that didn't have its engine replaced?

if everything else about the car is perfect. than take it a step further
and check with the dealer and get all the paper work. most z owners keep
better records on their cars than the IRS. you said it was done at 18,000
so its under warranty. the drive train is 6 years or 60,000. but i don't know
if that starts over on yours at 18,000 or not.....good luck

Thanks for all the responses guys, I really appreciate it!

@Apoc370z: Unfortunately, he's a 2 hour drive away, so I'm in the process of deciding whether it's even worth checking out... There aren't any good ones available close to where I'm at, but you are right, I am not desperate and something else should eventually turn up.

@SPOHN He says he has all of the paperwork. Regarding what was changed, he just said they put in "an entire new full block"

@frost He said that the engine work apparently is visible on the carfax, which I haven't looked at yet. His listing made no mention of the new engine, he only mentioned it in response to my asking if the car had any warranty work done to it

@delusional I think you are right, I'm leaning towards continuining the search, the main thing about this one that is tempting me is that it has the options I want and I would potentially be able to negotiate a lower price due to the engine change...
