High Miles Z a bad idea?

First of all, buying a car is never a good financial decision. Cars are money pits.

Second, what Z's have you found that have 70k miles?? I didn't find a single 370z at that mileage, only 350's. There isn't a Z on earth with 70k miles I would pay $22k for.

When it comes to cars with high mileage, Nissans are pretty good. But any car at that mileage is going to require more maintenace. Are you doing the work yourself? I owned an '04 Z, and by the time it had 82k miles I had replaced an O2 sensor, the exhaust after the cats, replaced the rear calipers. This is in addition to oil changes, etc. Not the end of the world to me, I did it all myself. But that's the type of stuff you will need to be doing.
