Thumbs down This things suck!

Why? Why do they have to be $10,000 for a twin turbo with like 120,000 miles? Explain me that one? I Believe that to be crazy. I need a good twin turbo for like 7,000 or I am going to be getting an N/A. Quite possibly a turbo mr2. I am about to rob a bank, so I can get my x? no y? no z? yeahhhh.

Re: This things suck!

umm, good luck finding a good twin turbo for $7k. so i would look for a n/a z. you could probably find one with under 100k miles for $7k. just don't make any hasty decisions.

Be glad they cost that much. It shows how good they are and if you keep it up will only go up in value. There wasn't but 70-80,000 Zed32 ever built in the 6 years they were sold in the USA. Alot of them have been wrecked, some abused and not worth a shit, so that cuts the numbers down real quick. Being in demand and somewhat of a collector car will only go up in value. In my past I've had many cars that if I had them today would be nice for my retirement, just didn't have any brains then. If they were only $50 everyone would have one and trash the shit out of them cause they'ed be able to get another one so cheap.

Re: This things suck!

That might be true, but they should have special price for guys named Justin who really want a 300zx twin turbo. Hey I fit that category, where is my 300?

Angry

well i paid 8700 for my 91 twin turbo zx and the exterior and interior and mint and the mileage was only 84000 miles so i knew there was a catch, so he took me for a test drive and everything seemed fine and all, so i got all excited about it and just went for it, 3 weeks go by and its fine, now shits falling, the whole clutch assembly was pretty much gone, oil seals shot, hoses all gone, paid nissan 1500 to fix everything and the damn car is still leakin, guess ill have to do the dirty work myself, so dont go for the first z you see thats perfect for you, its prolly not perfect as you think it it...or you'll be paying out your ass for repairs...

Re: This things suck!

i feel sorry for you. yeah, when looking for a z, make sure that everything is the way you want it or you will probably be regretting it.

Oh yeah...anyway, all things are repairable. Since I was getting such a great deal on the car ($5000 under going market price of about $15000), I figured I would keep the car for the summer and sell it before I had to store it for the winter or got the urge to upgrade. But since the motor blew I'm completely working over the engine, upgrading turbos, buying some slick-ass exhaust manifolds, cams, 615cc injectors etc and so on and still won't be able to drive the car until about mid January, optimistic timeline.

It kicks ass to be me.
