Message I don't know your mechanical skillsets, but here are some areas to consider.

at 120k it should have a full 60k service. ~$1k @ a dealer, ~$750 @ an independant, ~$500 DIY.

Tires. If you drive conservatively, figure at least 25k for replacements. Fair stock size ones are ~100/ea on the rim and out the door.

The car WILL have other expenses. But ANY car will. These are just items to know about on the Z in advance. And depending on the problem it can be difficult to find qualified technicians, labor takes longer than 'same work' on some other brands because of how things are packed in, and some parts prices are higher.

It is NOT an economy car, to own, maintain, drive or insure.

It IS one of the greatest GT cars out there. Ever. Period.

And it can be very reliable. Mine is. But that is very dependent on it's past life and your care of it.
