Should i buy it?
Im looking into a 1990 300zx 2seater ... It has 116,000 miles with an injen intake, full greddy exhaust, and VIS full bodykit and pretty expensive rims... The man selling it hasnt drove it in about 5 years and kept it outside with a car cover on .... He kept the battery disconnected.. WE jumped it and it started 1.2.3 .... no smoking from the backk ... he told me he changed the timing belt .... The car looks in fair condition and is in automatic ... hes asking 4g ... Im going to take it to a mechanic but im just wondering ...
1. WHAT HAPPENS TO THESE CARS IF NOT DRIVEN FOR 5+ YEARS?
2. IS IT WORTH IT?
3. WHICH AREAS (IF ANY) OF RUST SHOULD I WORRY?
THANKS ALL OF YOU!!

Hi,
when a cars been sitting for months(or worse years) and maybe not run much everything slowly corrodes unless its in a desert or dry storage. Sitting outside on the front lawn, real bad!
Even if the engines fine what about the trans? And all the elctrical connectors. I think you want to really screw down the price unless its been stored inside.
