I could use a few parts... (some factory seats as back-ups would be nice)

Or someone could restore it..........

Essentials:

AC works - CheckRuns and drives - Check

I'm VERY TEMPTED to buy this, because, you know, I'm kind of crazy. I have a feeling the reserve is set too high.

The body's shot, the suspension might well be. Very abused car.

Might work as a parts car though...depending on the price it might be worth it just for a drivers seat with no rips.

I am going to ask him if he has a local "buyit now price"... I will report back with my findings.

I scanned over it, so did I miss any mention of chain guides? If it needs those and an active rebuild/swap, figure $3500 in repairs to see a year or so worth of "scrapping by" until you could start a full on rehab. I wouldn't consider it to be worth very much at all .

Ach ! That's nothing for rust !

Whip in some guides, yank the plenum/hoses and clean it out, Stick in a Joe active removal kit...and drive it !!

(The standard NICO tuneup too -of course)

My 94 Q has the same rust spot- but much worse in the pass rear door area of the door sill. I noticed 3 other Qs with the same rust spot around my area, but mine has an actual hole in there- bout 1" big. I am going to have that repaired as the car should be runing next week- all my engine parts are here but the KS harness, and transmission rebuild parts. I can't wait to see what she runs like.

I was mainly thinking of it as a parts car.....

for $200 I would have it in a snap..... but i live too far away....but i could definitely use this for parts, not many infiniti's here, and probably many fewer wrecks to get parts off of....

look at what spare parts go for on ebay..... worth it just to strip.Could make some easy money.....

I dunno what you guys are talking about. That's a pretty clean Q. The interior looks good too. The rust is in a common spot. The leather seems pretty good. Great parts car. If it wasnt so far away.... Wouldnt pay to ship.

Closed for $400 not meeting reserve price. For $300 I'd drive it home at 30mph.
