Message	I am in high school and interested in buying a 300zx preferably 5sp but auto would work but im on a limited budget. Im pretty good at mechanics and have a couple of friends who work as mechanics. I was looking at my local craigslist and see that most of the cars have high mileage 150mi + is there anything i should look for in these cars or just skip them on my search.It seems kinda far fetched for me to find a good Z for under $4k but I thought it was worth a try because almost every other car in this budget is pretty much a Commuter car or a ricer like a civic. This one seems appealing [ http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/499518105.html ]">http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/car/499518105.html but the high mileage scares me away. I am looking for a 2+2 For a DD (juss to school and and around the city now and then) These also seem appealing: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/499711436.html ]">http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/499711436.html [ http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/car/498044049.html ]">http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/car/498044049.html Also if this helps, In the summer I plan to do a TT Engine swap. Thanks
