Trading in my Z...Help with new car purchase

zrider

As the title says, Im selling my Z. Reason is, that I plan on going to graduate school, and want to save as much money possible before I go. It KILLS me to sell this car, because I love it sooo much !!! But I want to have no debt for graduate school or as little as possible when finishing up. So the Z must go.

I have already found a replacement car that I want to purchase, but it is from a private seller. I have never purchased a vehicle from a private seller before, so I'm asking for a little help from the Z community. Any pointers and things I should watch out for? I know about the whole vehicle condition routine including checking the history, records/maintenance, having it checked out by private party, but anything out of the ordinary that you guys might have experience with and or advice is more then welcome!!!

Thanks for all your help and I will be staying around the Z community, maybe even post my build for this car if AK allows it
