buying 2008 g37s
I have been looking to buy a g37s for a few months now. I came across a decent deal. 170k km (105k m). But the car has been sitting in the lot outside all winter for 3-4 months maybe more. Also has been in a collision with a $7000 repair on the front right corner. (new bumper, headlights).
Will this affect reliability or performance? I drove it, sounds and drives great. Looks in good shape, one owner. I am very interested but I don't want to run into major issues or it to affect performance because it was sitting in cold and snow for so long.
What do you guys think?

A repair worth 7 grand (when was it?) is pretty significant. That most likely had frame damage.. and it being a S model, with tighter suspension etc, who knows? But if it was just new bumper and headlights, how can you be sure there was no other damage?
As for it sitting in the cold for that long, I'm not sure. I wouldn't my car sitting in snow for that long.
What's the decent deal? We can let you know how decent, decent is.

Get a carfax/autocheck multi-car lookup account.
Worth it if you're shopping for used cars.
What's your budget?
Try to get a 2012+ w/low miles and possibly an extended warranty. Don't want to deal w/the dreaded "oil galley gasket" issue after buying your car.
