Gah. A hardtop, too. I've been looking for one for a long, long while now too. :frown:

Is that black or dark blue?

How much did it cost you? The reason being, I'm close enough to south Jersey and banging my head as to how I missed the sale...

it's not as if there's an F31 club anymore to spot these things, anyway... :(

Most of the ones seen now are R titles with non working BS or some sob story about how the guy has to leave the country or whatnot, so yeah.

It was kind of luck, the original owner had passed away and her daughter just wanted it gone. I show up to look and it was garage kept with all service records from Infiniti and even had the window sticker!

Ended up getting it for $1800, but i will admit i got a very good deal.

Actually, you're right about where something of that age should be. But the mileage is definitely low as hell, and since it's garage kept, the window seals are probably still supple and all that, too. *sigh* my day will come for one of these. All I would do with it is Frankenstein out the suspension, anyway...

And as for the suspension I had to do thw same, 240 lca and spindles. Also used the 5lug setup and tierods. Rode nice before but rides even better now

Man, I love the hardtop M30's! If the inside is indeed good, you got a great car. Congrats on a very lucky purchase. I would trade my 540i in a second for a M30 in good condition.

I've owned white and black cars. White is WAY easier to manage. Black either looks great or like crap.

Looks nice, we dread calls about M30's here in Infiniti parts though. They always seem to need something unreasonably difficult to get for some reason LOL. But you're in Jersey so I'm not too worried about you calling us here in MO. Enjoy the car!

I've been using buyautoparts.com for my 540. The people over on the BMW boards have a seizure if you don't by parts directly from Bavaria. I'm not that dude. I've used a lot of stuff from them so far and have zero complaints.

I've rebuilt jet engines before, so I feel confident in my abilities to spot a shotty product. Their stuff is decent. Not sure how much stuff they have for the M30 though.
