Message Hello all, firstly please AIM me at breakit1234 or email at breakit1234@yahoo.com with question or if your interested.

I belive I'm going to sell my Z! It's in moderate shape mechanically, nothing more than age getting to it. The body has the standard chips and dings, and the interior is REALLY clean.

189,000mi, NA, manual tranny, charcoal grey, grey cloth interior.

I'm selling the car because I just bought a Titan! woohoo! I've considered droping a TT engine in the Z for the fun of it and to increase the resale value, but I just don't have the time and money to do it right now. I sure would love to do this though... :( Anyway, from what I've seen so far, you can find a working pull, TT engine with auto or manual tranny for about $1500 with about 45-55k miles on it, which includes engine, turbos, trans, and ecu. Then all you need is exhuast, intercoolers, and possibly rebuild the turbos(probably not needed, but wouldn't hurt). The swap, from what little I know, seems it could be done for about $2000-2500, depending on the aftermarket parts used.

Things that are wrong with my car as is...
Mechanical:
-power steering pump, works but leaks
-alternator (replacing this weekend or next)
-piston ring in cylinder 4 (smokes at high rpms)
-and I believe there's some sludge build up on the pan
-I also believe the lifters are dried out and need replacing
-brakes and clutch work fine, but need new lines (a mechanic I once went to thought he was smarter than the team of Japs that designed the car. That, and I guess he couldn't find the engine bleed, so he re-routed the clutch line, works.. but just isn't the same. I could've shot him for this, but I didn't notice till two years later!!)

But for 189k on it... it still runs strong! It's been a great car, never had any major problems with it.

Interior:
-driver door armrest molding cracked in two
-driver door keylock broken (<-- I'll never let anyone drive my cars again!!)

Exterior:
-power antenna dead
-gas stain
-slight clear coat fade on top of rear bumper
-front spoiler damage from too many parking curbs
-paint chip on left ttop
(external damage is nothing more than a normal 14year car would have)


That's pretty much it. I'm asking $6000obo. I am taking offers. You could easily turn this car into VERY fast TT for about $12000 total.

Thanks for reading! I'm going to leave this here for a week or two, and then I'm putting it up on eBay. I figure I'd give the true Z enthusiasts first dibs. :)

Thanks again!

Oh yea... car is located in Panama City/Lynn Haven, Florida, zip 32444

Pick up preferred, but at your cost will arrange shipment.
