I would say it suffers from the usual "bad rear struts" thing I think most people go through when buying one of these cars. I would check things like "what's been kept up". Do they have any paperwork on repairs, etc..

170k isn't that bad. Mine has about 260k, and runs like a champ, greatly do to the good people on this site!! Parts for restoration can be gotten cheap if you look in the right places. There is a thread somewhere here on what to look for when buying a 280zx.

Do you or can you get and post some pics?? That would greatly help...

Good luck

Carl
