Hi, i could possibly be in the market for a new car. i am a long time nissan guy and i love z cars. i found a nice '89 z31 and was wondering if it looks like a good deal or not, i need something halfway reliable with little electrical problems.
please let me know what you think.

Welcome to ZDriver! That Z31 looks like it was taken care of and has fairly low miles. Check it over in person. $2k is a pretty good deal...

check for rust. and def check compression. you usually won't want a car that is due for tires and brakes and a bunch of stuff right away, obviously. drive it for at least half an hour to make sure that it stays strong once it warms up. and black or blue smoke is a no go unless you want to do some work
