Or would you rather save a bit more and wait till you have a car that everyone you ask about it say, "buy it buy it buy it!"

It sounds like there's a lot of convincing and compromising that needs to be done to be ok with this car.

My real life lesson was: My first Z I cheaped out and cut corners...every single time i saw a loaded one i was like , f*ck. Long story short, i ended up getting the one i have now, fully loaded Z-R. You just feel different in the car when its EVERYTHING you want it to be.
I get where you're coming from and i do agree, but this will be a secondary car which wont be getting driven with the exception of weekends so it's not to big a deal to me

If you were shopping an AUTOMATIC? I'd have reservations at that mileage. But it's a manual. You're good bruh. That Z should get out to 250,000 miles or more with little issue. Cars are just better made than say 12 years ago.

We'll see, but yeah i never had an issue in the over 30,000 miles i drove my previous one so I'm hoping this one will be the same, aside from that i plan on switching out the CSC with one from Z1 and making sure i bypass the electronic steering lock if i do end up picking it up

BTW, looks like you're in Fullerton. You should come out the SoCalZ rallies.
