Well there is a huge market for Supra Turbos.


The 350Z being common all depends on where you live. In the DC area I saw loads of them. But in Upstate NY I hardly see any and it defo turns more heads which is nice.

Just some info for you Arizona guys. The Phoenix market is the largest selling 350z market in the US. That's why you see so many of them. If you do get a 300zxtt then take it to Pitstop performance on 7th avenue. They build and race 300zxtts and are great at diagnosis and cost of repair and if your looking to buy they may be able to steer you in the right direction.

Also go to the z club page Desertzassociation.com as there always cars for sale in their classified section.

OK at this point in time I'm pretty dead set on buying a 300zxtt. I found one that in 1996 (I know it's slowest w/e) with 70,000 miles. Great condition. The only problem is that it's auto, which is fine for me. I'm not a pro manual driver and I heard the autos on these cars are better unless you are very good at manual. Going to go check it out today.

How much do they want for it? Tell me it's not green.

Hyee

They want 12,500. I'll probably end up giving 11,000

You didn't tell me it wasn't green. Dude you could buy a way better Z for that much cash.

If you had a good amount of money to throw at a car...
Screw 300ZX's... Look for a 93-98 Supra Turbo.

Wow, you'd need at least 25k to find something decent. Plus, who wants a back seat. The only reason supras cost so much is because of the fast and the furious. NOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hyee

wasn't green? What does that mean? This thing is in EXCELLENT condition. It looks like new.

What color is it?

Better yet, is it for sale on line? If so, post the link.

Hyee

UGh.... I don't like the color combo. Ok, One question you can ask the guy that is the most important, Has the 60k service been done and does he have documentation? It can range from 500 to 1000 dollars. If the timing belt breaks in that car you're fukcd.

Hyee

I'll ask. I think it has though they claim that Nissan did a bumper to bumper inspection a few weeks ago and it passed with documentation. So if that's true it should have the 60k service done. Thank you for the advice I will DEFINITELY make sure.

Hyee

Oh and I'm going to have my mechanic check the car out before I buy it. He's a good family friend and a really good mechanic.

I must say the Z32 is one stylish car. Few cars have ever impressed me, looks wise, like the Z32 did when it first came out.

Of course I love clean black cars too, but the washing would kill me as would a dirty black one.

That ZX looks decent. I'd prefer a white or black exterior with a tan interior though... As long as all the documentation there and everything is sound when inspected by a good mechanic, sounds good.

Update?

Hyee

Went and drove it. Drove VERY well. Smooth car. Pretty good power.

However it needs new leather for the seats, a new motor for the drivers window, and possibly new brake pads. Overall the engine is perfect but the car itself shows it's age, since it is completely stock.

Sent them an email saying 12,500 is too much and if they'd be willing to sell it at 10,500 they should bring it over to my mechanic with me to take a look. Once I get the new seat and a few retouches on the areas that show age, the car will be a dream.

I'll give more updates later and tkae pictures if I buy it.
