Hello guys and girls!
This is my first forum post, it's most likley very bad, but i dont know so much about those cars or forum post's!
I would like to know if this is a good or bad buy. should i get myself into the 300zx z31 cars? i know its very hard to get parts and i dont know if i should bring myself into it, but i feel its a good car and i love JDM cars, but this I dont really know :S
The car is a 300zx z31 1984 v6 turbo 230hp "europe version" manual, it says 195 250KM . The wrongs ive been told is, cars not running great, leaking targa roof (water in car), rear trunk wont open. The car looks overall very good
they are asking 5500 USD.
I have no chance to see the car or know more info about it. other then the small text and pictures.

My brain have been thinking for 3 days VERY HARD.

Welcome aboard!

That price is high for a car that will require some expensive repairs.

A Z32 is a far better car for the money, especially the non-turbo version.

that is way too much money, for $5500 you can get a good running car, I was never a Z32 fan, but you could find a Z31 at that price which is well sorted out. My 84' NA has 170k on it and is completely sorted out and not sure I would get much more.

"Should i buy this car?" If you have to ask that question, you can pretty much bet the answer is gonna be NO.
