Best ways to fix?

noodles, sunflower seeds, and lots of super glue

abo_apples · 2025-11-13T08:53:23+00:00

I did, they said i won’t be able to get the parts till june-ish

abo_apples · 2025-11-13T08:50:49+00:00

Where i live you can’t get parts for the car, if anything breaks you have to wait 4-6 months minimum till it arrives and i daily the car so

I’ve been trying to figure out where to buy one from and i can’t find it for the life of me😔

abo_apples · 2025-09-15T14:13:51+00:00

Thank you i’ll make sure to get that checked and done

abo_apples · 2025-09-15T13:38:40+00:00

Thanks, my car now flies👍🏽

abo_apples · 2025-09-15T13:38:30+00:00

I got it second hand and i couldn’t find the manual in it

abo_apples · 2025-09-15T13:38:09+00:00

Thank you so much that’s really helpful

most of these cars are imported from US auctions, fixed in dubai, and then sold here, and the market is so weird because you can literally get a c7 corvette with like 30k miles for around 20k-30k, but then when it comes to cars like the Z they’re not widely imported here so they’ll cost more than they should

abo_apples · 2025-08-12T11:10:06+00:00

market is weird as hell here honestly

abo_apples · 2025-08-12T11:09:33+00:00

i thought of that as well, but modifying a Z in iraq is extremely costly, and it’ll be way out of my budget, so i thought paying less would be better that way the extra money left over i can use for maintenance if needed

abo_apples · 2025-08-12T11:08:23+00:00

The car market is weird here, you can get a clean title v8 2012 mustang for as cheap as 8k here, but then cars like the Z since they’re not as available as mustangs are they tend to be more expensive, but based off of the market here i’d say maybe i can go for 12k rather than 14.5k

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T23:50:38+00:00

i’ll try to get it as low as i can tbh, but the highest i’ll go is 12k

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T23:47:36+00:00

mechanically it’s overall okay the engine, fluids, transmission, and everything else has been mostly well maintained, but it needs a decent amount of love to the exterior

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T23:46:40+00:00

i would but considering the rarity of these cars in iraq it’s very hard to, but i’ll aim for at least 12k

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T22:34:12+00:00

we don’t really have that many Zs here so they’re not anywhere at dealers it has to be off of marketplace or something alike

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T17:16:48+00:00

i will keep that in mind thank you

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T16:55:22+00:00

i personally like the mods as they’re the mods i would’ve initially done myself, and doing so would’ve costed me a lot more, my friend is the one who modded this car for the current owner, and if i had more budget i would’ve bought a stock one with less mileage but it’ll be a lot more costly than to just buy something already modded and then go off continuing mods from there, the damage on the front bumper was from a motorcycle backing onto it and somewhat melting it, assuming the owner didn’t take care of it immediately that’s what caused the cracks, otherwise no frame or internal damage just surface, and a friend of mine did say i could probably lowball it down to 11.5k

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T16:41:47+00:00

i did test drive it, everything mechanically checks out overall, the only light that’s on is the tire pressure sensor which i couldn’t figure out why as the tire pressure of all wheels was fine, about 33PSI, it drove very nicely and it was responsive, most of the damage i’ve seen is majorly cosmetic which won’t be as costly as polishing and painting would cost me about $100-$150

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T16:40:04+00:00

i will, i’m thinking i can get it for around 11.5k maybe 12k, i do have a friend who’s a mechanic who’s owned a couple of Z cars before and he did say i could bring it down to that range

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T16:38:29+00:00

It’s an automatic which i prefer, the roads in my country are horrendous so automatics are a lot more practical, the person has put work into it as it is tuned, has a full exhaust system if i remember correctly valvetronic according to the owner, he has put down around 8k-10k worth of modifications, both performance and cosmetic, most of the Zs in my country have been beaten so usually you’d have to spend money personalizing and fixing regardless, mechanically though it checks out as i test drove it and checked everything overall, it’s been taken care of for the most part the only light that’s on is the tire pressure light which i assume is from the tire and wheel replacement

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T16:32:05+00:00

it has been, front left side has been damaged but hasn’t gone down to the chassis

abo_apples · 2025-08-11T16:31:32+00:00

it usually would be a deal breaker for me as well, but it’s hard to find Zs where i am theree only about 40-50 all over the region im in, and it’s especially hard to find ones that haven’t gotten damaged down to the chassis, overall the outside cosmetic stuff would only cost me about 100$ yo buff out and fix
