Please let me know what I am getting into with the following 1993 300ZX TT that I plan to buy and what could be the cost for the fix:

Paddle clutch is way down. I assume the master clutch cylinder needs to be replaced. So I can't really test drive the car.

Steering fluid is leaking. Must be the hose that needs to be replaces.


A cylinder has low compression.

The Interior looks good. Airbag light is on due to radio console removed.

The exterior has a couple of dents''

How much would you pay for the car?

Thanks

With all those problems, I'd say 2k MAX. And that's assuming it actually starts/runs/idles good. It's pretty crappy that you can't test drive it though. How much is he/she asking?

EDIT: Now that I think about it, maybe even less since that one cylinder has low compression. Low compression = rebuild = $$$

This^^^^^^^

unless you want a project and have money. You are easily looking at roughly 5k++ just to get to running condition. There could also be a few more issues that you are not aware of.

The airbag light on means there is a fault with the system, not because the radio whatever is out. More than likely the airbag has been deployed, if that is the case, walkaway!!! It is a PITA to deal with a car that has front end damage.

Sorry for the double post. I needed a fast answer. The car has 82k miles and he wants $3500 for the car.

Tell him to take a hike. Just wait and find a better one.
