I love 300z's my dad got one last time he was in AZ. it was that rare pearl yellow. it was a Turbo with only 50k on it. he fixed it up put about 2k into it (tubo computer, misc go fast parts) and sold it to his lawyer for 20K LOL it was worth at best 13K he bought it for 9K

If I was your dad I wouldn't use that lawyer ;)

Awesome deal. I've got an '87 turbo but have been wanting a Z32 TT for awhile. The only things holding me back is it would be work to out of mine half of what it's worth to me, and the difficulty of working on the Z32.
How much do the TT's in good shape with < 100K go for up there? Another problem is many are already heavily modded so I'm afraid they'd be ragged out, and the fact that they sell for much more. Thoughts?

I think a TT like that will cost you in the ballpark of 10k, though it depends on the year. I personally wouldn't buy one without a nestegg to cover engine repairs when the turbos die out from being blasted on by the previous owner ;)

9k for a TT with 50K is a damn steal, especially pearl yellow glow. I had an NA in that color and sold it for 4800 with 155k... those things bring a lot of money :)

90-91 100K bone stock and good condition hover at around 10k
It all depends how lucky you are really, sometimes you can find really incredible deals (older men selling it etc).
I know a kid that picked up a 94 TT with 80k (if i remember correctly) for 9500

300Zx are one of my favourite cars. When I first saw it, I was totally in awe of it modern and sleek design. It was totally unexpected. Even today I marvel at it's design. But I guess that is a common trait with the Japanese sports cars of the 90's. The designs were so different, and sleek, that they were something to look at.
