300zx

[straightace]

I am offered a 300zx twin turbo 1991 with 71707 miles for 6,000 dollars.
I carfaxed it and everything came out clean and the milage is correct. It's a 5 speed manual. The timing belt has been changed at 60k miles.
These are the mods on the car
-HKS boost controller
-JWT ECU Chip
-HKS turbo timer
-JWT Pop charger
-Greddy PE exhaust system
-HKS SSQV Blowoff Valves
I have the right to return the car and cancel payment for two weeks after the purchase, if i find anything mechanically or cosmetically wrong, other than what he pointed out, which is a few scuffs on the bumper.
What is everyones opinion on the car and the price and things I should be carful about.

A 91 with only 71k on it? Thats pretty good. 6k for the car is a good price imo

My opinion...let me buy it instead. That seems like an awesome deal. My friend bought his 91 300ZX TT for $9,700. So that's a great deal, and since you have 2 weeks to get a full refund, I couldn't see why not to buy it.

test drive it, 6k is too low of a price for that setup, what's wrong with it.

if everything checks out grab it and run

[straightace]

I have bought it. The guy is going to drop it off at my house in about 4 days after we finish the paperwork. I hope it works out. Any chance someone can check it out at a tri state meet on next thursday or someone would be willing to meet me some other time to pop open the hood and do a quick inspection? Thanks.

damn dude good deal...watch for head gasket leaks and a smoking from the exhaust problem z's tend to have...1st thing to check is let the car sit cold and have someone stand behind and look for little bit of smoke form exhaust...generally a small puff of white smoke indicates bad turbo seals. You didnt buy this off ebay did you? Ide be happy to take alook at it at the next thursday meet...i will most likely be there wiuth my 300 so if you see me (mine is dark green) say hi...or if i see your car ill come over...what color is it?

[straightace]

Haha. the seller backed out. I didn't lose any money or anything. He just stoped answering my phone calls and email...grrr!!! So i guess it was too good to be true. Which really blows. Anyway I'm probably just gonna buy an integra GSR to deal with my depression .

[sr20de]

Maybe it was a scam, did you see the car in person?

And then you can turbocharge that!!!

[straightace]

I think it was a scam and he probably quit cause I was so stubborn about his methods. I was constantly asking him things and making compromises on his method. Then when he wanted to use money gram I told him no way no how. He tried to convince me and I asked him if i look like a retart. Good times. Can i put a turbo on a vtech, highmile? I had no clue that you could. But then again i don't know too much about cars.

[300zTT]

yea 6 k for a 71 k is def a scam!!!!

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

That's a great price! Nice grab!
