Hello every one this is my first post and new to this site. As the tittle says I would like advice on this craigslist listing on a nissan 300zx. the car has some body damage but all in all a good looking car (120k miles). How much would it cost to do body work in this car? any advice would be helpful...heres a picture of the car, and the car is currently going for 2 grand

Assuming its just cosmetic, you're probably looking at 1000-1500ish if it needs paint?

Its weird looking body damage though. I don't see any scraped paint... almost looks like the guy got in a parkinglot brawl and smashed someone's head into the side multiple times haha. Hell, you might be able to just pull it out with a ding king or a plunger for free.

Haha yeah the damage does look a bit odd. Do you think its a good buy or should i keep looking around?

Is not that bad, I will give him around 1300 to 1500 no more. Those dings you could take them out with a blow dryer and dry ice. Or what papa said. Just check it out good all around, body and mechanical.

Welcome to NICO!

2k is a bit too much IMHO.

I agree with pinto, if you want the car offer 1,300-1,500 - then see what happens. :bigthumb:

Are Z32s really that cheap now a days?
Jesus, I might have to pick one up. I love the lines on those cars.
