I'm not much of a 280ZX fan(much prefer 240Zs and 1600 roadsters), but this looks interesting. How much would parts cost and how hard is it to fix said problems?

Yeah, my friend had a 280ZX for a while. It ran pretty good, but we could Fred Flintstones brake from both the driver and passenger seats.

Didn't even bother to address the problem with his A/C system leaking, though. A few thousand miles later, its transmission blew... http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/nva/cto/2332433594.html I get a kick out of the wording quote:The engine in this car runs strong, great gas mileage...Wouldn't be selling if it weren't for the blown transmission

Sushi The Kid posted:http://bham.craigslist.org/cto/2339949799.html It's OK, but it's not great. 2k for a decent body for a 900S non-turbo for that area is a bit high - $1500 is 'about right' for Huntsville. Check KBB for ideas for local pricing. That is a nice looking car - and it's not one of those awful 3 speed autos they had, but I wouldn't pay an extra $500 for the rack. The biggest issue you're going to have is several parts are no longer availa ble for C900s - and can be hard to find, or you'll get raped by someone else in the cult-o-saab whose been hoarding parts for the last decade or so.
