Message :Unless you have deep pockets, somewhere to work on the car, the backyard mechanical skills to do much of what may need to be done to make the car roadworthy, and can absolutely verify that the seller isn't setting you up with a stolen vehicle or giving you a line of sh** just to unload his junk on an unsuspecting buyer ....... run, don't walk away.
:Sure, that $2000 price sounds terrific on a sports car a lot of guys would kill to own, but there are too many bad vibes with this one.
:Why doesn't he have another set of keys? Why would someone steal just the CPU? Where are you going to get another one? What will it cost? Will you be able to even start the car after you get it installed. Maybe the engine or the turbos are blown. What will it cost to fix those.
:Basically, any car you can't start and drive, is a pig in a poke, and could very well end up being a money pit. You could end up spending far more than the car is worth just to get it to run.
:Your best bet is to save your money, keep your eyes open for good Z32's for sale, educate yourself on what it takes to keep one of these cars happy, and then buy the best one you can afford. Buy with your head, not your heart. It'll save you a great deal of money and grief.
:Sorry if this rant bursts your bubble, but I've seen too many people walk down this same road and regret it.

nice information.i might as well pass on this. the seller claims that he bought it from an auction and after he placed the bid someone had stolen the ecu. when the tow truck delivered the car the ecu was missing and no key. the interior has rips and tears everywhere. btw these guys who are trying to sell it to me are Armenians i heard they are involved in a lot of scams?
