Opinions on buying a Z32

[brettz32]

Hey NICOclub, hoping you guys can help me out here.

So there is this Z ( http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/4099570072.html) that I've been looking at recently. Ive found out a good amount about the car, but I need some expert opinions on whether or not it would be worth the trouble.
By searching the VIN i found a site (http://usedcarsfsbo.com/asp/Item.asp?so ... F19%2F2010), that had listed the car Im looking at with a s*** ton of work done to it.
This is what I pulled:
Mileage is 128,680
-Complete timing belt job: belt, belt tensioner, water pump, seals,
- heavy duty idler studs
- 6 injectors
- new injector plug harness
- 6 coilpacks and boot
- new plug coil harness
6 NGK iridium plugs
-Injen cold piping (chrome)
-Stillen cold air intake
-Stillen ground harness kit
-new knock sensor
-new pcv valves (x2)
-new plenum gasket
-Valve Cover Gaskets (x4)
-new egr valve
-new fuel rail
-new fuel filter
-new fuel pressure regulator
-master cylinder brace
-(Z1)new radiator
-Unorthodox racing pulley complete set
-(Blue)new belts
-transmission rear main seal
-Eibach pro springs
-Stillen strut brace
- (rear)Axxis brake pads (front & rear)JDM rotors
-(Front & Rear)JDM Front Calipers
-Stillen DUEL TIP CAT BACK SYSTEM
- JDM J-Spec Tail Lamps
-JDM Twin Turbo Spoiler
-New Power Steering Hose
-New Tires
-Tear in drivers seat

Upon seeing the car, I did see the strut brace, the Injen intake and the dual tip exhaust. I would assume that list of work is reliable. The mileage is now 150k, so about 20k has passed since all that work was done

Car however has a front end issue, assumed it was the rack. Also the ac didnt work, compressor did engage but cold air didnt blow so I assumed it needs a charge. The body also has rust on the skirts, and the body needs paint.
Other than that the car just needs work here and there.

So since you all are the Z32 experts, do you think the car is worth it?

Ive devised a plan to just mod it lightly, and working on the car is in my interest anyway. I want a hobby/project car.
Thanks for your help!

Do you want a fast car or a quick car? If you want fast, get a TT.

Also, I hope you're mechanically inclined and have some money to spend if you're considering a Z32. They run on time and money (and a little gas too).

Looking for a quick car, so N/A is fine by me. Turbos just add more potential problems to be had.

This is true.

Honestly I think the link posted is asking to much due to the condition but then again it all depends on what other cars are selling for in your area.

Any and all good conditions Zs around my area either have rebuilt motor and go for 6k, or they are modded heavily and go for 7-8k. Cant find many bone stock, and cant find much for less than 6 that are actually driveable

I think its high but Ive never yet bought anything on CL for the list price, always negotiated down. So Im aiming for 2500 on negotiations
