Problem areas to watch for when buying?

Hey all, I've always liked the g35 coupe since it came out, and I think I'm on the verge of finally buying one.

It's an 03 with about 85,000, black on black with the manual transmission. I'm just wondering if there are any big, common problem areas I should be on the lookout for? Owner says there is literally nothing wrong with it right now. It's kind of a haul to get to so I want to be prepared when I get there.

Thanks all

Check and see if it was maintained! That's the most important thing to look for!

these cars are pretty reliable, just make sure ur clutch is ok and maintenances are done, u will have to do 90k service but only spark plugs really need to be changed and fluids

What would be a good price for this car, assuming it all checks out? I still haven't seen it yet but the owner says that all scheduled maintenance has been done and it's a pretty clean unit all around.

I wanna pay like $9,000 tops.

it's super clean and he will take 9k, only issue is that it's throwing two codes:

P0300 and P0327

misfire and knock sensor

dealbreaker? Guy says he thinks it's the coils and he's going to replace them and see what happens.
