I have a chance in 25 days to get a 93 300zx twin turbo for 1700 dollars..my aunt does a repo service and she can't sell it for 25 days..btu the guy has dissapeared and isn't coming back..and she is giving me first dibs. Should I go for it?...I know i'll get raped on the insurance but I just don't thin i can pass up this deal-

i would have to say go for it if you can get ahold of one that cheap id go for it. you could always turn around and sell it for alot more if it doesnt work out.

thats REALLY low for a 300ZX, has it been crashed before or something similar to that? either way i say get it, and if insurance is still high for you, you can always sell it (in your case maybe even higher like what nissanracer said)

I wouldn't even think twice. As long as it's in sound condition, put it on your credit card, drive it home, clean it up, and put a for sale sign on it. Then profit.

i take back my previous statement, you could sell it for 12-14,000 bucks, you would be an idiot for not buying it...

you could finance a hell of a 240 project, or pay off some schooling or debts with 10k of profit or even 4k or profit ... sounds like you should buy an sell

oh yeah, if your young, dont even think about keeping it unless its going to stay in your garage for like 5 years. One of my freinds (17) almost bought one until his insurance company quoted him at over $4000 a year in insurence...

I just had about the same thing happen to me.

A buddy of mine works at a nissan dealer and they have a 94 N/A 2+2 that has $190 left on the lean. He said they just wanted to get their money back so I wrote him a check.

Other than one small ding on the fender, it's in very good shape, interior, exterior, engine. Hehe needless to say there's already a for sale sign on it.

ya this is a 2 seater twin turbo...and i am def. gonna get it....i actually always wanted one but that car just isn't logical for me...the reason it is so cheap is because the repo company just wants the money they would loose...1600 on a loan and 100 for storage...god..i love repo men..lol..and idiots who don't pay off their loans-.

get it and KEEP it!! You said you always wanted one but its just not practical ( or whatever i can't remember). Anyways, the point is...what if one day it would be ok for you to own one...you would kick ur own *** for letting go of that car.

you can sell your S13 for atleast 1700 and break even with the 300Z. Thats a hell of a deal, i wish i had a chance like that.

Bro,

You're so setup. The Z32 is a dope automobile. Twin turbo goodness. You can make 400-500 horsepower with that platform. That's definitely Porsche eating potential.
