Looking forward on buying this Z but would like to know if I'm getting a good price. Can someone please let me know if this Z is a decent price at 2K?

It has through rust in areas that don't normally rust that bad. Check the frame rails, hatch area and under the battery tray. Your cons don't list that it has major rust, needs body work and paint. If you can't get it for $500 and fix it yourself, pass!

Looks like a lot of Bondo, and wavy paint, from having to fix bad repairs on the ones I own, I'd run away from it!!!
