Seriously looking at 370Z and need some pointers

Hey bcoffee20. I think everyone else has already said the same thing but just to put this in perspective (because I hate seeing people get ripped off.)

The car you are looking at (without mods) has a KBB value of $21,582 (give or take depending on your opinion of KBB)

The mods you listed were included do not have what I would consider "top of the line" parts that might make this really worth considering.

Here is a breakdown of how much some of those mods run (note I used the most expensive options just to show higher end price)

VIS Carbon Fiber Hood $948.00
VIS Carbon Fiber Trunk 948.00
NRG Carbon Fiber Roof $649.99
VIS Carbon Fiber Side Skirts $906.00
VIS Carbon Fiber Rear Add Ons $600.00
VIS Front Lip $600.00
EvoR Carbon Rear Diffuser $349.95
EvoR Carbon Fiber Rear License Cover $174.95
5Zigen Bronze 19" Wheels $586.30 per wheel?

So basically you will invest in travel expense for a car with a questionable history, with upgrades from the middle of lower end of the quality spectrum and a SRS light on which you would have to diagnose.

I also want to point out that anybody can throw parts on a car - the part quality and quality of the installation will determine the "perceived" value.

Also from a modder's perspective - not much aside from really great upgrades like a Turbo kit installed by a reputable shop will ad "real" value to a car.

I just installed a nice carbon fiber spoiler on my car. Decent part but that doesn't mean I added value to a depreciating vehicle. Instead I probably lowered the overall resale value of my car because I was F***ing around with it.

So overall, I would recommend holding on this one or keeping an eye on our own for sale page. I have seen some very nice Z's listed over the last few months.

Good luck with your decision!
