| first and foremost, the 300zx or Z32 isn't just a car. It's a whole new way of life. Just ask anyone who's dealing with a TT. You WILL be spoiled by her. Now then, on to some of your points... $9900 for a Z is ok, but... what year is it? is it a tt? (except for the wing, the front has 2 openings on either side for the intercoolers). Some people slap on a tt fascia, but if you get down and look, you should be able to see intercoolers. The engine will also have a tag on the left side that says "Twin Turbo". has she been maintained properly? has the car ever been in an accident? what condition is the car in? inside and out. Parts for the z32 are not hard to find at all. Well locally for you and I (in Greece) parts for the Z are non-existent. Everything I get is through TRUSTED vendors on this site. IPP & Specialty Z are just 2 of the many. Some OEM parts are discontinued, but parts cars are available and members on here are always parting out or cleaning out the garage. The other cars you mentioned may be nissan, but they are NOTHING like the z32. comparing them is like comparing a supermodel with her slow 1/2 mongoloid sister (unless her sister is the GTR, then she's just ugly). Go see the car in person. That's the only way you'll get a feel for what's what. Don't let the cramped engine bay discourage you. It's a bitch to work on yes, but if you have the service manual and are mechanically inclined, and have a lot of patients, it's not that bad at all. It's a fun car that has a nasty habit of getting you hooked to boost. You're also going to need deep pockets if you get bitten by the "need more boost" bug. Have fun!
