Message	For example, I bought my 26k mile Z 3 years ago for 17k. 1993 TT Super White, Black Leather Interior, Suede. I did a 60k right when I got it back to my home, and upgraded the Intercoolers to STillen, Koyo Radiator, UP Pulleys, and Pop Charger. Then, the injectors went cause of corn crap in gas. I upgraded to 300degree rail, 850 injectors, Z tuner ECU tune, Boost controller, and only then did I up the boost to 14 psi. Then, the clutch went, I upgraded to light weight flywheel SZ, SZ Sports Clutch, 530bb Turbos, Full exhaust. Its so much more fun doing the mods yourself, and in a safe order. I personally like low mileage Z's. When I sold my 150k mile purple 300zx that broke so many times, I mean it had 3 motors in it. I finally gave in, lost tons of money, and sold it. I said I'd never buy a used car again. Then a miracle happened and I found this "Angel" in Maryland with low mileage that smelt new when I got inside, and the interior was brand new with that new car smell. If your going to drive like normally, and not race in a 300zx, then i guess you can buy one over 100k miles... Remember, parts are becoming out of stock. However, if you have lots of money to spend, then knock yourself out. Whatever you do, do a Carfax on the car, have it inspected, do whatever you can to find out everything about the car. I personally find upgrading the car from stock to be most fun because you did the work or upgraded it.
