is a 300zx a good buy?

My friend has a 1991 300ZX for sale. It is a two seater 3.0 twin cam non turbo v6. it has 174,000 miles on and im not sure whats wrong with it. I drove it and it seem fine to me but sometimes it dosnt idle, he says some of the injectors are bad and he tested his theory with a friends injectors. also has a new radiator. it dosnt have a smooth idle, sorta a small cam sound to it, but above adle RPMs it sounds smooth. it was a little hesitant but i couldnt really tell. it needs a new fender and front bumper, basicaly a new body ket and paint job. the old body kit looks like crap. P.S. in the short time i drove it, when i shifted into second the tires spun. I really need a car that is dependable and fun, i dont want to rebuild the motor or replace it. the motor was clean but looked like it needs a valve cover gasket job, and the intake sucks. so far the price is 800$ what you think??

$800???

Hell yes... Spend maybe another $500 patching bits up and getting it serviced and you will have a great looking car thats got a decent bit of poke to it.
