I just became a member of the Z32 club... check out these stupid checkered headlights

EDIT: I said headlights, but I meant side mirrors... my bad.

Hey guys, I went out and bought a 1990 300ZX N/A this weekend...
It was a 7 hour drive, but it was totally worth it for the price!
My previous DD was a junked out 83 280ZX... so, needless to say, this was a huge step up!

The exterior has a few dings and imperfections, but nothing I can't live with... and the inside is AMAZING! I can't believe how well the PO took care of it.

For some reason, he saw it fit to paint the side mirrors with a checkerboard pattern... I'm not sure if I like it or hate it, and all of my buddies call my car "the taxi cab". Let me know what you guys think about it!

Here's the link to the album: http://imgur.com/a/8YRlr

If checkered mirrors is the only issue with the Z than I think you've got nothing to worry about.
Did you get a complete record of maintenance? Has the 120K been done? These should be the primary areas to focus on.

I'd also like to see more pictures, weather you painted the rest of the car to look like the mirrors, or painted the mirrors to look like the rest of the car

Repaint them

It does have a heavy Cab Vibe
Will you be charging fares per mile or trip?, drive that in NYC I bet you get yelled at to pull over, and lots of whistles... hehe

Just kidding, really looks very nice inside,seats look cherry, great pick up and nice upgrade for your DD.

Cheers !!
