Buying a salvaged title Z

We drove it around and it was pretty nice, no frame damage. Would you recommend it if I took it to an Nissan dealership and got that 1xx point check

We drove it around and it was pretty nice, no frame damage. Would you recommend it if I took it to an Nissan dealership and got that 1xx point check of the car, corrosion from salt doesn't happen much here, it's snows but only for a day then it's hot so the roads don't get salted very often. Still dealership and if they approve it should I get it? (Obviously I'll talk down the price) it runs and drives, sounds nice and handles well

Go for it. What could possibly go wrong? I mean, everyone here told you the exact opposite of "you should get it", but you seem to know better.

Why did you even bother to ask the question in the first place? I could understand if the responses were close to 50/50, but ...

See this way to often. Make a thread asking for advise and then do the complete opposite

Around here we call that the "Minsu Manuever".
TerribleONE and Ghostvette like this.

"Yeah, Mom, she's a beautiful girl, nice upbringing, not too old, and she is "tight and drives well." So, you get married and find out she has AIDS...now how good is she????

It may be a little dramatic, but there are so many things that can go wrong that are not seen now, it is in most peoples opinion (who may be older and wiser) that this one should be left alone. While we understand your passion and excitement in getting a Z, it is "probably too good to be true" and we all know all about that statement.

So, you can do what you want, but it is most likely a better choice to get one without a salvaged title...

Good luck with your decision @Joe1561

I imagine it would be in Nissan's best interest to approve it as future repairs/service could potentially bring in large profits.
