I see, well even where the offer stands, it is still a good one. I was just saying if you can then try to negotiate a little bit more.

Now it all boils down to if you want new vs used, did you ask him about any accidents, issues, problems he might have had with the car? If so, can you trust him enough to believe what he has told you?

I would also recommend running a VIN just to be on the safe side.

I asked him and he said there have been no problems/accidents. The winter tires were on, the "!" light I think it was was on on the left side of the dash. He said that its just because the 350z wheels dont have a sensor on them? Is that true? I've known him for a few months and he's always been a nice guy even before I knew about his car or he knew about my desire for one. He's not my best friend or anything, but he seems like someone who is trustworthy. Plus he is a marine too and works not even a hundred feet from me.

I have the VIN number, but does anyone have any carfax checks left I could use? I payed for the 5 checks or whatever about a year ago, but if I remember correctly it only lasts for a few months. I'd really appreciate it.

I think the computer doesn't recognize the tpms from the 350z wheels/tires, that should be fine, it shouldn't be an issue.

So no one can help me out with a carfax check?

Anything I should for sure check before I buy the 2010? Some things I might be forgetting?

Did you ask about any of the warranties he got when he bought the car? And if he is extending them to you? (if he is I advise getting them written down, and signed by him)

Also, checking under the hood for any damage, rust, or dents is always a good idea. Even better if you have a mechanic friend who can take a look at the whole car before you buy it. I don't know what kind of a friend you have, but from what you have mentioned he seems to be legit, but always better to double check, especially when you are shelling out a significant amount of money.

How do I got about transferring over the Nissan factory warranty that he got with it?

Yeah, I'm taking the car to a Nissan dealership tomorrow with him and I'm going to have them do their full inspection. Plus I'll have that on file. I'm actually paying for the car tuesday. He's gonna let me take it tomorrow after the inspection though
