Vortech Bearing

Hello,

We were looking at a g35 and was suppose to meet this week until we got an email telling us that while the person was going to get an oil change, they inspected the vortech supercharger and found that its bearing went bad. Causing supercharger to go bad too? Now we still like the car but we wanted to know what causes a bearing to go bad to know if the car is even worth it. From what the person is telling me, its been boosted on stock pulley on stock internals for 15K miles.

Thanks,
Tony

not changing the oil enough times or check to see if the oil line has a kink in it and it might be starving the vortech of the oil.
