Look at it this way, look how much money you are willing to spend. Look at what other S-chassis are going for, look at all the down sides you will have to fix and how much that is going to cost. Look into it as a future scope as well. What are your plans for the car? How much skill do you have in fixing this stuff yourself?
Are you prepared to walk away from it?
Think about all that then make your decision.

Yeah I know what you mean.
-I would sell the godspeed parts
-The mismatching springs do bother me and I would want to eventually install coilovers
-The fading paint does bother me, but not that bad. I would eventually down the road re-spray the car
-How much does it cost to fix the power steering leak? I'm pretty clueless about that issue...
-I would trade the exhaust for a stock exhaust plus cash
-I would sell the G35 wheels and put on the 300zx rims and save up for aftermarket rims
The rest of the car does look solid. The owner says there's about 50k miles on the rebuilt engine and that's one thing that shines about this deal. He says he does have paperwork and receipts and most of it is for the engine. Is there a way where a mechanic can tell exactly/roughly how many miles is on the rebuilt engine?
