If it were my car it would be hard to let go. Due to the current market values of Z32 thats very deep in upgrades to take anything but a HUGE loss to the seller Thats easy 10-15k in upgrades and maintenance depending on if the work was done himself or not. Thats on top of whatever body work was done. How much were they asking for it if you don't mind me asking.

around 6k i talked him down some only issue is the backseats he said and a couple small dents ... what kind of power should it put down if running properly said its pushing 14psi right now

One thing for you to keep in mind is thats going to be a high maintenance car. Unless you plan on doing the work yourself plan to spend big money in a shop if something is to go wrong with it. The regular maintence intervals of stock zs are every 60k miles a modified Z like that that you haven't had your hands in yourself there is no telling what will go bad when it will go bad if it will go bad. Buyer beware.

6k is very cheap based on the list of upgrades you have. Just swaping a engine alone can cost 6k easily. So you need to think about it that sounds really too good to be true to me. Stock TTs in great condition go for 6k or more depending on condition. "Excellent" condition, collectors value low original millage is anywhere from 8-12k All depending on condition.

i wanted a stock one but cannot find one for the price people are asking insane prices for them 12k+ found a couple of n/a for 2-3k but none turbo .. whats the regular maintence for these cars ?? i change my oil on my cars every 3k trans every 30k and diff every 30k plugs around 50k i can do my own work im a student so have extra time on my hands just dont want a car that has alot of major issues i had a e55 amg 05 and it was a nightmare had to call it a loss dont want another car like that !! im hoping this is a mid 12sec by the mods i dont push my cars to hard ethier just the normal spirited driving like everyone else

I guess the thing is the z32 is over engineered. You have to take like 5-10 things apart somethings just to fix 1 thing. Having to pull the engine out of the car.. Sometimes you have to pull the engine out of the car lol just to fix something with a TT. Like if your turbos go bad you're having to pull the engine out lol

damn that kinda scares me because im use it as a dd well if it turns out bad i guess i could part it out and get what i paid for it lmao guess i got think now it was between this and a 97 240sx with a built sr20det

Ya man Im just trying to get you to think. When I heard 6k that seemed low to me. Like that he is just trying to get rid of it kinda price almost given the amount of money thats into it. Ya its kinda scary. But you can probably part it out and get your money back.. You know what you are getting into now Its an awesome car that I'm sure you will love if you like it.

thanx alot he was asking 8k but said he'll take 6 if its this week he just bought another car wants put the money into that car

Buyer beware as stated above, the car you listed here would require a pretty knowledgeable Z32 guy to keep alive for more than a year or two, and as a student you will MORE than cringe when you get the bills for normal repairs and maintenance, prob pretty similar to the AMG. I purchased my '93 TT (my sig) for $8K+ which is about the going rate for a lower mileage stock, clean Z32 TT so as BlackWidowZ wrote, the pricing here makes one wonder.
Having been modded extensively as it has requires things to be just so, if not there will be trouble and that may be why this car is being sold.
Finding a quality, legitimate Z32 in your price range may take a year or two of hunting and require a trip to go get it, as it did for me, but is worth it in the long run because you really, REALLY don't want to get an abused Z or one ready for a s***-ton of maintenance.
