Should I buy this car?

My father just bought a new s80 to replace his. He's selling his 99' s80 2.9 w/90k miles now, and he offered it to me for 9k$ . It's got a full warranty until 100k, and many things are new on it; tires, abs computer, transmission, brakes, windshield... Most if not all the probematic things that were wrong with the 99' s80 have been fixed. My intregra is pretty much falling apart rapidly so I decided to replace it soon instead of dumping more money into it. Should I do this? It's in great shape interior and exterior wise, it's been well maintained, and my dad drives like a grandpa so it hasn't been beaten on.

Yeah the Z isn't practical for hauling people/things, and it's terrible in the snow. I usually only drive it on the weekends. My commute is pretty far too and I hate putting alot of miles on the Z (yah i know it's just a datsun ).

no turbos so you don't have to worry....but parts for the S80 are expensive! Find something cheaper. Old civic/accord.
