I have found a 350Z for sale from a dealership for $6,500. It is manual, and it has 83k miles, an aftermarket exhaust, and a cold air intake. The Carfax history looks clean, it had a minor rear collision damage but it does not appear to have any frame or mechanical issues. Would this be a good, reliable car to buy?
thanks in advance,

NO. The 350Z platform is reliable overall, but that is a 2003. That's the first year for the 350Z and man, the gremlins I have repaired on those.
They also have quite a few recalls (Camshaft Position Sensor comes to mind off the top of my head). I would pass.
Get a mechanic to check it out these seen to be reliable..
NO
I am also a large NO!!
You can’t fix tire feathering. It was doomed from the beginning. Change front tires every 15k miles gets expensive.
