Been window shopping for quite awhile for a Solar Orange Z, but they are pretty hard to come by. This one is 5 hours away from me. Haven't talked to they guy yet, hopefully soon.

I've always heard not to buy a modded car, but honestly this one has a few things I'd love to do myself (but never would get around to). I've had nothing but stock vehicles and always wanted to mod, but never appropriated the funds.


So can you Z owners give me some thoughts on the price of the car and the choice of mods he has listed. Also, what model is this car? I'd love to find a Z with leather. (IIRC, aren't all solar oranges touring models?)



Here is his original post on CL:

I love the fact it has some stereo mods and an exhaust (baring it sounds good).

I'm guessing those Nitto's are good tires.

Not sure if the JWT intake or TopSpeed Pro1 suspension are choice modifications?

I feel like I would be a lot more excited about the car if it didn't have the flywheel, clutch, or suspension mods...but I'm very noob so, if that is an asset to performance or not.

Guessing that is plasti-dip on the door handles and wheels, that should probably be a turn off.


I get the feeling the board will instinctly say to buy a stock Z, but I know myself well enough that even getting an exhaust would be a stretch for this penny pincher. I'd almost rather buy a nicely modded car having the mods finance into it from the get go.

What say you Z forum? I'm pretty noob to z33's, I've dreamed of a Z32tt for the past 12 years, but I need a good daily driver so I think the z33 will be my choice.


I plan to do some spirited driving in the car, but I'm not looking to buy a vehicle that's been a 19 year olds rag doll drag racer; I need a driver.

Thanks in advance for your input on the vehicle.

 

they are just basic bolt on's imo if the car has been serviced why not go for it. fyi solar orange z come in every trim model like every other z.

 

Price is ok but try to negotiate and bring it down a bit.

Other than that, it looks good to me. I think solar orange is a nice and rare color.

BTW, if you do end up getting it, remove the plasti-rice asap lol.

 

Neat that you responded to my thread kno

Pretty sure your car has been the wallpaper on my laptop for a few weeks now.


Being an Oklahoma State fan, this color just hits on an emotional level.




I texted with the owner of this SO a few times but we both work different shifts. Hope this turns out to be the one. If not, maybe you should sell me your car.

I'll post more pics as I get them.

 

Definitely. Maybe I'm wrong and it's powdercoated. Doubtful though.


I just hope this isn't a kid who is selling it.


kbb says ~14,500. If I could give him that for it, it'll be sold very soon if it checks out.

 

I'd skip it. Look for one from an old man.

 

That's the smart idea. However, as I stated earlier...if I do that, it'll never end up modded.


Good thing is, I love stock Z's. If I can't find a nice Solar Orange in the next month or two, I'll probably go after a nice stock black one.
