Question:

Why pay $8K for a swap when one can buy a mint '90-92 TT with relatively low miles (85K or less) for well under $10K?

Am I missing something here, or doesn't it make sense to sell the 300ZX N.A. (for $6K) and buy a really nice 300ZX TT for $10K (or less)?

I bought my California '90 TT last year (82K miles) from a 58 year old original owner who babied it ($12K in receipts-treated it like one of his kids) and never drove it in bad weather for $7.5K, then did a timing belt (just to be sure), a driveline (slight vibration), and tires ($600). True, I now have almost $9K in the car, but it looks and runs like new without the hassles of a conversion. I don't think this is an abnormal situation-in fact maybe I could have found one even cheaper.
