Welcome to NICO!

Looks to be a really nice Z32 from the pictures. I'd say the 12,000 that he's asking is about right. In similar condition they sell by me for 11-14,000. He might be firm on price but see what you can do.

Best of luck! I hope you get it.

that is low miles and very clean, I'd try and get him to 10k but there aren't many low miles clean cars left so he might not budge

That's a nice car for $12,000.

I agree on negotiating anyway, but I think that price is perfectly fair.

You should be ok with that. Just have them do a basic examination of everything. Good luck!

on the maintance note again, how are these cars with emissions tests? the inspection is out and i need to get it inspected so what can i expect with these mods and i quote

"NISMO 555cc fuel injectors, ASHSPEC E.C.U. chip, Auto Meter Boost gauge, Turbo XS manual boost controller, RPS Sport Clutch with Street Disc. All modifications were done by Rich Z Tech Performance http://www.rztperformance.com . I have all the receipts for the modifications done to the car."

the emissions will vary by your location, we got rid of them a coupla years ago here, the only possible problem I see is that your running a chipped ECU and larger injectors, you just gotta hope the maps are correct for the setup, easy enough to change the chip if needed
