The 1990 model had a alot of problems. It was the first year of the new body style. But it sounds like it was taking care of well. Power transistor units seem to go out alot on the 300zx and check for coroded clips they seem to really common on the zs also. But good luck and post some pics when you get it

Seems high to me since my friend sold his 1995 TT for $9,500. It also had downpipe back exhaust, fmic, bov, hard piping, nice sound system, and some 18" wheels.

well i was gonna offer him 5k and work my way up. his car blue books for 4k but he's got some aftermarket stuff in there so i'd only be fair if i offer him a little better than that, he said he's got some offers but nothing really serious.
