Nissan 370Z Forum  

Looking at a 2011 370z, What do you guys think of this car?

I always worry about buying cars with mods when I don't know who owned it and did the wrench work. Guys start modding and start driving harder a lot times.

I would rather start with complete stock vehicle but that is not always an option. If you go to look at it, maybe try to hit up a couple local members to look it over with you. I believe you should never buy a vehicle alone. The more eyes the better as somtimes it's easy to overlook things when blinded by excitement.

My headlights are extremely hazy, but my poor car lives outside in the brutal South Florida sun.

Being a 6-speed check out the trans. and the clutch. Have the dealership's service dept. run the vin# and check the CSC. Good luck with the car, hope things work out!!

try not to overthink it. Just make sure to get a warranty, drive it like you stole it for a little bit just in case something could brake..

then enjoy it. Exhaust mods and little cosmetic stuff shouldn't be a dealbreaker

Not deal breakers, but definitely something that gives you bargaining power. It's hard for dealers to move modded cars for the reasons already mentioned. If you want this specific car, use that to your advantage to get the best price possible.
