autotrader, craigslist, autoextra, newspaper, etc. i was looking as far as 3 states away from me, and the net was a big help. finally found the right one on autotrader. found mine in oregon and had to drive all day and night to get it. now that i think about it, i found my z31 on autotrader too.

www.twinturbo.net classifieds is where I found my first one, bought my second one directly from Ultimate Z, who rebuilt it after it was in an accident.

I recommend looking through the Z website classifieds (here, 3zc.com, tt.net...) because an enthusiast is more likely to take care of the car properly.

... that's vague... based on the cost, I'm assuming you're looking for an NA? (Not that you couldn't find a TT for that range, but any TT under $5k is asking for trouble - for reference, I spent ~$5500 for each of my TT's, both had minor problems).

YOU PROBABLY WONT BELEIVE THIS, BUT, MY SON WAS IN IRAQ AND FOUND A 91 300ZXTT ONLINE OVER THEIR AND CALLED ME AND ASKED IF I WOULD CONTACT THE OWNER AND SEE IF HE WOULD ACCEPT PAYMENTS. THE OWNER LIVED IN ISSAQUAH, WASH. WHEN MY SON PAID IT OFF I WAS GOING TO FLY TO WASH. PICK IT UP AND DRIVE IT BACK TO IDAHO WHERE HE WOULD PICK IT UP WHEN HE CAME HOME ON LEAVE. WELL WHEN MY WIFE TOOK ME TO THE AIRPORT THERE WAS A 1990 PEARL WHITE 300ZXTT SETTING THERE AND I LOOKED AT IT CAUSE IT HAD A FOR SALE SIGN IN IT, COME TO FIND OUT IT BELONGED TO A RETIRED LT. COL IN THE AIR FORCE WHO WAS WORKING FOR DELTA AIRLINES AND PARKED HIS CAR AT THE AIRPORT WHILE HE WAS WORKING, HE WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE CAR AND SAID THE CAR STAYED PARKED MOST OF THE TIME BECAUSE HE HARDLY EVER MADE IT TO TWIN FALLS, IDAHO ANY MORE. SO WHEN I RETURNED WITH MY SONS CAR (JESUS I HAD A LOTTA FUN IN THAT CAR) THEIR WAS ABSOLUTLY NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT I HAD TO HAVE THAT CAR! SO THEIR YOU HAVE IT, I FOUND MY 300ZXTT BY CHANCE AT THE AIRPORT. BY THE WAY THE LT. COL. THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM WAS THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND WHILE HE WAS STATIONED IN CAL. HE TOOK THE CAR TO STILLEN AND HAD SEVERAL THINGS DONE TO THE CAR.

GOOD LUCK IN FINDING YOUR Z
