Message	I'm 16, 17 in July. I bought my Z in December a month before I got my license. Whatever you do, DON'T quickly go buy a Z if you see one. Do a carfax, bring it to a mechanic, test drive it 2 times if you can. I got mine w/ 98k miles. I payed 7k and had an extra 1200 saved up. The first 600 went to registration and taxes, the rest went towards insurance (which is $650 every 6 months under my dads name, w/ me as a primary driver). My Z has only given me 3 problems since I got it. 1. Clutch Master and 2. Slave Cyclinder went. and right now I have a strange leak, I believe it is a High Pressure Power Steering Hose, investigation is continuing. I just did the 120k at 107000 because my front main oil seal was bad. So what I am saying is it is possible to own a Z at 16, but you have to take care of it and be willing to fix it when problems arise. I think I got lucky.
