Smile Advice on 04 G35 Coupe

My coworker is selling her old beautiful G35 with 83k miles for $9k. Im posting some pictures and I have a few questions.
On the side, on the height approx. at the top of the rim, there is this line about an inch in height, what is that? Aftermarket?
I would ask her about that but she doesn't know about modifications made to this car, her nephew was the one de/rebadging, and possibly adding stuff to the exterior but he is not available. Is the sideskirts stock? Looking at the car, what is added to the car?

All she knows that this is the "sport option".
I'm sure she doesnt want to trick me or anything, but she might not know about some stuff that is done to the car. What are some questions to ask her, so that she will ask her nephew?

She claims that the car has gotten into a small accident while in motion, on the passenger side but that it is not visible anymore. Clean title. I have a few more pictures of the interior but it's basically stock. It's automatic.. And I test drove it twice

The Mt. Fuji badge is on the front. I'll try ask if she has the one for the back also, just in case. And the letters

Lol. That's just side molding on the doors and quarter panels. Comes like that from the factory on some models.

The car is completely stock with the exception of the debadge/rebadge of 350gt. I would just ask if he's done anything to the engine - or just take a picture and post it up here.

that's a really good deal. If no oil consumption problems... which isn't really a problem with 04 models then you should get it.

If you buy it for 9k, it's bound to have some problems and most likely it already has some electrical problems. (AC, Navigation, Fuel Gauges, Radio) or maybe it's only my G35 that has these problems. LOL

Oh I haven't noticed it on other G35 coupes. Ok cool,
I will ask/take a picture. I will test drive/test the functions one more time before I buy it.

I noticed the passenger window motor is messed up but my coworker will fix it.
What do you guys recommend testing/playing with? Sounds like a stupid question but this car has a bunch of functions that I probably won't use but it'd be good to find out if they all work, including the navigation that seems outdated

Looks very nice. Test it out, get a mechanic to professionally inspect the internals+underbody. I don't know if it is a sport.. I thought the sport only came in 6MT and came with brembos.. at least mine did.

Speaking of Brembos, can you buy those somewhere online?

Oil consumption, as in using/wasting too much oil? Or leaking?
How can I check on those problems? Mechanic? Or can I check it by myself? Could you describe me those problems specifically?

Ok, Ill try getting it to a mechanic. SHould I do a check for everything or just a few specific points? She just said sport package, but she might have been wrong then.
