Looking at buying a Z32. Looking at a 95 w/ 90k miles or a modded 90 w/ 165k on the body with a rebuilt engine. They both drive well. The dealers want about $8k for them. Is that too much?

I'm guessing those are for TTs?

The 95 is NA and the 90 is TT.

If the engine is in good shape and has paperwork and the rebuild was done by someone who knew what they were doing then its a no brainer. TT of course.

Did you ask about this on reddit? I would LOL if anyone paid more than 5K for a NA that didn't have the suspension fully done, and a good bit of tasteful mods. 8K could be high for a TT, depending on what the mods are. At least the engine is rebuilt, as 165k is when I spun my rod bearing...

Yea 8k for a NA is way to much IMHO.

@ThisisSparTTa...I did not. The NA is super clean but I think you guys are right. I really love these crs but I can't let that cloud my judgement with a purchase.

Best advice anyone here can and will give you is to take someone with you who knows Z32s well (there are a few on this forum that may be in your general area), a knowledgeable person will be able to tell you within 5 minutes of looking at the car whether its a worthwhile buy.
