same thing happen to me the first Z i looked at. the owner said , "car is in really good shape ; the seats have a little wear." my wife and i drove 250 miles only to have the shock of our life. the car had only one windshiell wipper, the seats look like a dog chew them up ,the car smoke like a smoke stack and drove even worst, no brake lights, tail lights ,no signals lights and no back up lights. so i kept looking around and finally found a Z only 30 miles from my house. she was a one owner had all service records and always garaged with only 75000 miles on her not bad for a 1990 and she looks like new. don't buy just any z keep looking around and you'll find one too. good luck. zsoom-(billy)
