Take someone with you who knows these cars, or better still buy from a club member. It should be a good recommendation but in the past there have been some less than honest people on here with some below par cars who have sold them to unsuspecting members. Spend time reading as much as possible about these cars, this forum if full of all the main problems so keep searching here and asking questions, hopefully you will end up buying a car that is already known or is actually a good 'un.

Never thought it could be so much rust, but thanks for the info :-)

good luck on your search take your time and buy the best 1 u can afford as a bad 1 will cost u so much money and time

The 300ZX TT is IMO, the best fun fast car I have ever owned, for the price you cannot get anything like it, all old cars in this country will have some rust issues at some point. You can find good examples.

 

Best of luck.
