By the looks of it, you got a better deal than I did. The body/paint looks good, and I can't say as much for my car. At least your previous owner didn't ****** the nose emblem off like mine did. I test drove it on Friday, slept on it, called him and told him I wanted to buy it on Saturday, bought it today, and when I went to pick it up he had taken the emblem off the front and put a biohazard sticker in its place.

The interior is pretty good no tears in the seats,and no cracks in the dash,the material on the t-tops is coming loose and the headliner could stand to be replaced,as for under the hood not to bad,just the usual stuff you see on a car this age.

Many countries pay extra tax and insurance on 2 seaters than they do for 4 seaters. There's a reason the majority of the Z cars in Europe are 4 seaters.

I would agree with you. When you add 2 more seats to a car. It is no longer sporty or a sportscar. And I always hated the 2 + 2 Z's. Of course, one of my favorite Porsche's is a 4 seater. But then it is in a different class. And is called an exotic instead. And I am referring to the 928s. I have always liked that car, since I was a kid.

As for the Corvette. If they ever made a 4 seater, and or a 4 door version. (from factory) The Corvette would be finished in my book. It is bad enough that they made a Porsche 911 type 4 door puke my breakfast out car. Bleck!!!

Yes. Because the 4 seater 911s aren't sports cars. Right....
