Okay, what is wrong with this car or is this the deal of the century?

I think it does look like a good deal though I would have someone who knows body work check it out to see if it was in a major accident. A repaint with a different nose (despite the explanation) would make me suspicious. Otherwise for the price it is very appealing.

The carfax looks clean - no accidents reported anyway.

Sure does look like a great car !! Is it me ,the camera that took the pic's or does the car look like it's red/orange in color ?

Probably just a cheap camera, I'm pretty sure it's Metallic Red.

I would think the reason the car is not receiving alot of bids is the
changing of the body panels to look like a 95...everyone knows
the 90's are the best looking...

Have to wonder if it'll make it to the reserve this time. I just thought it was tough to have a car sell for the "buy it now price' with the miles it has. Then again the more I looked at it the more I have to wonder why anyone would drop the price that low if that new skin wasn't hiding something

If I were looking at Z's, I'd be thinking "who do I know with a Car-O-Liner rack?"!

The price seems very 'right' but the repaint & body parts swap would have me looking under the car.....alot.

While I would be cautious I'd still consider buying it if it had been properly inspected. Almost every dealership has a savvy guy or two who inspect trade in's and can tell from 20 feet away if the car has been in a collision.

There are deals to be had out there and this could be one of them.

I like it!...that color looks awsome on a Z just too bad it wasn't black inside.
