I know it's a bit of a drive, but for someone who wants an older Z-car… it's a pretty interesting package at a decent price.

Issues: Several exterior rust spots...quarter panels, door corner, near the fuel filler door, one wheel arch. Nothing major....all structural and floor rust spots have already been fixed. Paint is 10-15 years old. It looks great from 20 feet, but I would have it resprayed when the exterior rust is addressed.

All of the shit he's stuck onto it is pointless if the car has rust like he's describing, a rusty Z for $11,000 is too much. "Nothing major" is what every single Z owner says when they realise that they're holding onto a future rust bucket, those are bad areas for rust on Z's, some on the outside is a lot on the inside. $11,000 is 80% restoration kind of money, not rust in the quarter panels money, and the bottom of the door card(s) is fucked.

Then he stuck a finicky BMW engine in it, 7-8k TOPS because of some of the parts.
