2009 used... advice
 

Hey all,
Finally found a used Z that looks nearly perfect - I would rather get a newer, 2011 or 2012, but I think that will require a bit more patience and will not get nearly as great a deal.
Found one here - it's 23k miles for 24000, which seems like an awesome deal.

Besides the steering wheel lock shenanigans, is there anything else I should be wary of when checking the car out?

On your test drive, choose a route that has a long uphill. Accelerate up the hill to see if the clutch slips (see if it feels like the rpms climb without the increase in spped you think you ought to feel). When buying a used MT it is easy to buy an abused clutch.

try to get certified used if you can, Nissan will cover you for any manufacturer defects a multi point inspection by the manufacturer as well. :tiphat:

Ah, someone else jumped on the deal - but thanks for the advice guys.

Thats unfortunate, just keep looking at cars.com, edmunds.com, even craigs has some 370z's u can scoop up. :tiphat:

Build in the cost of replacing the master cylinder and csc. BTW that's low mileage in my book.
