1993 nissan 300zx sale or trade


I am interested in taking on this project here, but before I move forward on it, I wanted to know what opinions or advice anybody may have on here before I do anything.

Thanks in advance

 

Well the body looks clean....plus I dom't see where you can go wrong for $1,650.

 

Hope you have somewhat deep pockets. Sketchy past Z32s are much harder and more expensive to bring back to life than say a sketchy past 70-83 or even 84-89. Be prepared to spend LOTS of money on an N/A that needs interior work and motor work and won't be worth too much when you finish.

 

Thanks for the Feedback..

It's not worth it, I will keep looking.

 

If you like the style of the Z32 then get a Twin Turbo 5 Speed!

 

Don't settle for an N/A. Cause after you have it you'll just want a Turbo!

 

Yes, very true I love the Z32TT, but it is very hard to find a twin turbo that's selling for a reasonable price. Everyone is asking for a price out of my range but they are worth the prices have of the time. I guess therefore I'll have to hold off and try and save a lil bit more cash to get one.

 

It's absolutely worth it to save up. But you must save up enough to buy one that hasn't been destroyed, it'll cost you way more in the long run if you have to fix everything the previous owner did to it.

 

Also make sure to check the carfax on any potential TT's you consider buying. Stay away from Salvage and Rebuilt titles, it means they have been wrapped around a telephone pole or crashed into a concrete wall at 130mph.
These cars were worth 50K+ back in 1996 and it would take something major to total the car out.

You should be able to find a decent one around 7-9K. For that price the car will most likely need new seat covers, especially if they are leather. There will be dents in the body but the body will be in good shape overall. Also in that price range the motor, if it's original will have 130K+ miles on it.
I would save up as much as possible and buy the best car I could afford, it will give you less to fix once you get it and should be in better overall condition that buying a car for 7K and then expecting to "fix it up".

Here's an example of what I'm talking about ... they have had that car for a few months now, I would think they would lower the price again here pretty soon.

 

I have an n/a and it provides me with much pleasure (unless you are planning on racing it) a tt will definitely cost you more money to keep on the road and bless you are handy with tools expect to pay more at the shop, I agree if you want the extra horses than go for the tt but for me I can do with out it and just want to fix her up real nice inside and out, they are both good cars, if you are going to keep the car it doesn't matter if it's not worth it as long as you get your personnel satisfaction out of it.

 

Never say never. You'll never know when you have to get rid of a car due to life issues kids, jobs, insurance are always floating questions. Save up and wait to buy a 5spd TTZ in great condition and she'll treat you right and you'll likely get most of your money back when you do sell it, buy someone else's problem, and you'll have bought yourself a bottom-less pit of a nightmare.
