think i should jump on it?

Well me being a BIG Nissan fan, i say if its a Nissan get it, as for this 300zx is it for daily drive, streetcar, or straight drag, in my opinion id get it ~$3g its quite a steal but be forwarned it might come with something wrong with it, if you have $40 to spare id do a Carfax report on it.

Those miles are up there, but who knows.
just too bad its not a turbocharged one.

no way. $4K for a non-turbo car that weighs 2 tons??

what are you looking for? a coupe or a fast car? you can have many faster cars for the same money or less.

personally...if you want a sleeper look around for a used (well-maintained) SHO Taurus....faster than that 300ZX and with forged internals and Yamaha design is very boostable to make crazy power.

Any Ford/Merkur turbocoupe/SVO/xr4ti will be VERY cheap and run 13's with less than $2k in the total investment.

not to thread jack. but im gonna be picking up a 93 SHO on monday, if not sometime next week.

SHO 4 t3h w1n!!one!!111!eleven

Yamaha FTW! My dirtbike and my sportbike(When I get her) are both Yamaha's!

SHO's are badass but so is the cost of upkeep. Maintain them well and there are SEVERAL over 300K miles on the SHO forums....and several over 450whp also.

its gonna be a "weekwnd" car to the insurance (id get fkd over with daily liability, im not even gonna mention full coverage at my age)
im also gonna be looking for a beater (probably a late 80 or early 90 pro.)

not gonna drag or sleep anything
maybe get some of that weight off it
and definatly an aftermarket turbo...
no way i'd trus a car ove 150K with a turbo

im gonna carfax it around next week.

it could be cracked, bearings could be all fkd up
psi could have been tweeked past breaking point..
im looking for a completely stock 300zx

the SHO im picking up has 167,xxx on the body. has a little bit of rust on the trunk. is in really good condition for the rest of the car though. rebuilt motor with 80,000 on it, i believe a new trans. is going to come with stock wheels and has the newer style SHO rims on it now with new tires(only like a 1,000 on them). buying it off my buddy, hes replaced and is going to finish replacing some other stuff before he sells it to me. so its a pretty sweet deal.

p.s. you think you could hit me up with some of the SHO forums rodd? ive been looking but havent found to much.

thanks

Since we are talking about SHO's, How hard are these cars to come by?
one time i saw a newer looking taurus that asid SHO on it, they still make them?

well im not big into the SHO scene. i would imagine that the older ones are easier to come by. i know they made like late 90's models, uo tp like 98 i believe. might have discontinued making them for a couple years. i see alot of older ones than newer years but they are out there. i think the newer rims the one im picking up are 96-98 rims.
