need advice looking at a s30

all right looking to buy my first nissan its a 78 280z manual tranny its all primer and idles just a little rough but not to bad i think it could just need a tune up or a vaccum leak its not a rotating sputter its a random sputter how much do these cars usually sell for the guy that wants to sell it is asking 1500 more importantly are these cars a good power plant?

Welcome to ZDriver!

Price depends on condition and negotiation....

What is the condition? Miles? Rust? Clean title? Dents & dings / accidents? Interior?

We have a basic checklist for the 280zx (same basic checks for the 280z): https://www.zdriver.com/forums/240z-280zxt-s30-s130-tech-tips-275/280zx-common-problems-checklist-purchase-inspection-16386/

And yes, the L-Series motor is a good motor.
