Should I Buy It?

Hey guys, I'm brand new to the website, and really only joined so I could get some knowledgeable opinions on a car I've been looking into buying. I'll include the link to the ad for the car, of course, at the end. I have a friend who owns a g35 sedan, and it's a really nice car, so once I started looking around for the coupe version, I found this. I've only talked him down a grand on the price ($13,500). I just want to know if it's a good deal and I should go for it, or to keep looking? Thanks in advance.

Here's the ad: http://dallas.craigslist.org/mdf/cto/4311021158.html

I'm from the DFW area, but don't recognize that car(only because I'm new to our scene).

I've reached out to our club to see if anyone knows who that might belong to, and to see if they have any information on it for you. Figured it couldn't hurt.

I was wondering the same thing. Car looks good as hell IMO. I usually do this asking around stuff before I purchase anything like this, to get some more experienced opinions, other than myself and my friends, like I said. Thanks, bro.

I feel like the front fitment is way off, that gap around the headlights doesn't look normal.

I agree with you the gaps are extra large!

The front fitment isn't that off, i only have one screw in on each side and two tabs at the top. If i screw it on with everything and hold it in place with the under tray the left gap is completely gone but the right has a slight gap but not to noticeable. The kuruma is poly and the buyer is basically getting it as an extra for daily use.

My exhaust tips are black from all the build up, never could get them to come out clean. They sit about right with the bumper, of course a aftermarket looks a lot better but I obviously don't have that.
