I would advise anyone to stay away unless you wanted just a parts car. and I'd never pay $2000 for a parts car. An extra $350 to do the paperwork to get the title??? Yeah, no thanks. It's nowhere near worth what he's asking.

$500 is good price, it is a 'running car' looks like fresh rebuild he is probably trying to get his money back out which as we all know NEVER happens unless the car is #1 Rare and #2 showroom new condition. If I were planning to spend 2 grand on an old nissan I would pick this up in a second

I think $700 or so would be a fair price for that car if he had a clear title in hand, which he doesn't. Too many warning signs. $2K is not realistic given its current condition.

I wouldn't. There's a LOT of work to be done on that thing. Also, $2,000 sounds like a good deal until you start pricing everything it's going to take in order to restore it. Add another 0 to the end of that number.

An S30 isn't a project to be undertaken lightly. NOTHING is cheap on a Z restoration.

The 411 seller? Clueless.

Dash is shagged - Where do you think you'll find a clean, intact 411 dash?
Windshield? Good luck finding one.
Rust? I would bet a month's pay that's NOT the "only rust". That's some BAD cancer.
Steering wheel? Hard to find.
Bumpers? Good luck.
Grille? I have an extra. $500 and it's yours.
Rear taillights? I have 2 spare ones, I'd sell 'em for $500 each.
Seller has no idea what kind of carb is on the car.
No title? Red flag.
$350 to do "paperwork"? What kind of "paperwork"? Applying for an abandoned title costs $40 in AZ. SMH

Good rule for project cars: Buy the BEST EXAMPLE you can afford. Tried-and-true.

(its a fun site, BTW)

That was pretty awesome. If you're not putting it back to stock, why not?
