it's mostly a case-by-case basis. depending on how good condition the specific car is.

have a read of this, things to check for when inspecting an old z

http://www.zdriver.com/forum/240z-280zxt-s30-s130-tech-tips-275/280zx-common-problems-checklist-purchase-inspection-16386/

as well as the usual rust inspection for old cars

Thanks for the link, i think i've read that somewhere, would you say a R31 (with 100k Kms) would be better?

They're the same price.

The Zx looks to be in good condition (completely un-modified with OEM wheels and radio still on) and apparently no rust. I may check it out today, but i've been told by some that it's bullet-proof and others that it's only good for a project

what are you wanting out of the car? what are you planning on using it for? how much are they wanting for it? if it's going to be a daily driver and you simply want it for getting from A to B then there are probably better choices out there, unless it's dirt cheap. but if it's dirt cheap then you have to ask why it's dirt cheap.

Well it's 2.5k, looks as though he has another one, yeah i want it to be a A-B car with some fun on the side. I was wondering why its so cheap considering the money the guy has poured into it.

This thread isn't needed anymore however, have decided to just go with an R31, will be more reliable and suited to me than the 280 will be (Until the future).

I think the R31 is quite a deal lighter than the 280ZX isn't it?

Wasn't exactly aiming at performance, as you shouldn't when looking for a first car, you'll be only let down.

But, however, disappointment is one thing i have not felt with the 31. Amazing car!! Reliable, Agile, Fast enough for me and very comfy.
