advice on buying?

I found a 90 300zx at a small car lot. I haven't seen the car yet but according to the owner it is in excellent condition appearance wise. Mechanically, it is a 5 sp not turbo with 200k miles with an engine and clutch replacement at 130 k miles. I don't know of any other repairs but given the mileage what could I expect the car to need or to have been replaced? The price is $4400. This seems a little high. Advice/ help is appreciated. Thanks

Leave it. If it needed a motor and clutch at only 130k miles, chances are the rest of the car has been neglected in proper maintenance and would be a money pit. I wouldn't spend more the $2k on it. Also rule of thumb, never buy a car from a used car lot.
