With all the trouble I've been having with this car I've been considering using it for a parts car and getting a working Z. I found this one, but the price seems to high to me. That car's blue book value is only around $3200. Do Z's normally go for that much? I would think $8000 is way too much for it. What do you guys think?

BTW, I drove by it last night (after hours) and it seems to be in pretty good condition. It's been sitting there for several days and I didn't notice any oil on the ground. The interior looked okay from what I could see. No significant dents or scratches. I'm going to go look at it more closely tomorrow. I have a final exam tonight, so I can't look at it after work.
Plus, this way I already have my donor motor for my ground up rebuild.

The price is ridiculous...over 200k miles...that is a hell no. I could buy a mint condition 5sp Turbo for that much with a 1/4 the miles. Keep looking.

That's what I was thinking you'd say. Does any know of a Z31 in good condition in the DFW, TX area? I'd prefer a turbo 5spd. don't care about the color.

Simply incredible. I can't believe even a dealership would try to charge that much. That's very funny.

There was an 84 AE 5-spd (badged AE, anyway) around here with 500 indicated original miles on it going for $10,000. Absolutely beautiful car, showroom fresh. It was like sitting in a time machine.

That would be nice... unfortunately my budget is < $5000.

$5000 is high for a non-turbo automatic. Maybe offer like $3000?

How about you stop looking at dealerships online, and start looking around for private sellers. I didn't see mileage in that last one, but it is closer to what a Z31 should cost. If it isnt a decent condition turbo or a VERY good condition Z31 NA I wouldn't spend more then 2500.
