Because even that you saved all that money, it still will be a Salvage Title.

sometimes just letting go is the best thing

just let go and never forget. Like Rose and Jack on that ship

Congrats on saving a Z!

I'm more curious to see what it looks like UNDER the rear bumper cover. That looks like it needed every panel on the rear end replaced, crazy work

haa yea there was a gaping hole in the rear half way through.. ill put up pics tomorrow for anyone whos interested. and i intend on keeping her for a loooooonnnnngggggg time...i put 700 miles on her in the last 36 hours haa...only problem so far was we forgot the clips underneath the engine for the plastic cover so whenever i break 100 it scrapes... not that i do that often of course....haa

Awesome save - looks great now. It breaks my heart to see a Z all banged up like that.

Has anyone seen the Salvage Black 370Z on Autotrader.com for $18.5k? It's been there for ages, staring me in the face. They've reduced it from around $21k iirc. (Oh, it's in West Covina, Cali, I'd post a link but the site's down right now).

$18k for a 2009 Sport/Base with 7000 on the clock. Mmm... I wonder why no one's snapped it up.

18.5 sounds high for a starting point

. Is it rebuilt?
