Wow, super clean looking Z.
Things to keep in mind:
Early Z32's had old style injectors which are prone to failure from ethanol, and their voltage always on state (electrolysis).
Early Z's had old style non-weather proof electrical connectors at several important places, which corrode and can cause a myriad of issues.
The AT Z32 TT has about 20 less HP and TQ than a 5 speed model, both from smaller turbos and the AT, plus a small final drive ratio difference.
The cloth interior models have slightly less value than the leather interior models.
I can't guess the markup for a JDM import, but USDM TT's generally go in the $10K to 13K range for a low (60K to 90K) mileage Z32 in the condition of the one you posted. I see a boost controller and a few other small mods so the price may be higher, although generally mods do not increase car value.
There's probably more I left out, but this should help some and others may have some good input as well.
Good Luck with your buy!
