[CA] Trying to buy a 370z : Bad experience with VIN JN1AZ44E59M402001

My advise is buy new. Yes you pay a bit more but worth not having to deal with this kind of bs. There are some problems an inspection won't find that's why I always buy new. Just keep saving your money.

wait, "gearbox has to be replaced (problem found on 2nd and 6th gear), covered by the warranty"...

Is there a TSB or something that I'm not aware of? My 2nd/6th don't "grind", but it's astounding to me that you'd take the car to a dealership for a "pre-sale inspection" and find that they want to do this sort of repairs under warranty.

Perhaps it was an honest car dealer he had it checked out at?

Thats exactly why I buy new. I had a Acura RSX Type S last decade. I flipped it and the whole car was rebuilt. Probably 8k in damage and weeks in repair. Before I ditched it all carfax.com said was I had 300 dollars in damage. I went with it when I sold it to the dealer. So right now someone is riding around in a RSX that literally had every metal part removed including the roof and every reporting service tells them its a legit car.
