thanks for all your opinions guys.. i think i am going to pass up on this one.. the car was for sale from [ www.copart.com ] a HUGE online car auction website. and be being all excited when i saw this deal i noticed the cars located in Sacramento Calif. and im in georgia so inspecting this car is out of the question and if i was to buy the car for 3000, it be another 1000 to ship it so i really dont think its worth it and like all of you said the waterdamage part is a VERY big risk. thanks all and wish me luck on my Z hunting.
