[1st car] 1987 Nissan 300ZX 'naturally aspirated' '5speed'

Post by kwak88 »

Just bought my first car 1.5 weeks ago using..my own money. :D

I'm 21, college student, so obviously my price range wasn't that high, but IMO i got a good deal here.

$3400, found off craigslist, bought from a nice lady who had a family in a well-off town



exterior condition= 93/100. simply great for a 22 year old car
interior condition= 90/100. no cracks or dents at all.. lol vinyl is perfect and cloth interior has no rips at all
engine= all belts were replaced, new battery, all fluids filled to max
mileage= 73,000 ! thats an avg of 3400 or something each year..lol

never drove a manual before, so first thought was to find a helpful online community :)
