Price: US $200.00

Description:

OUR DESCRIPTION
* Up for sale is a classic 1987 Nissan 300ZX 2-seater sports car coupe with a T-Top. Red exterior with Tan interior. * This low slung sports car has less than 125, 000 actual miles. * The engine runs like a dream, a well oiled sewing machine; a 5-speed manual that responds quick. * A/C, power windows, tachometer, original AM/FM stereo cassette player, cloth seats, 3.0L V6, hi-test gasoline, rear spoiler, private seller. * I think there is an airbag on the driver's side (but I am not positive). Both my wife and I drove this car; it has always been a real delight for local trips and also on long distance trips. * We have enjoyed driving this Z for over 17 years and now have difficulty getting in and out of it. Two sets of keys are included.
* CAR NEEDS TLC (tender loving care). * It will need paint soon as the clear coat is peeling and the red and black are fading especially in the sun prone areas. * The interior is comfortable, but well worn. The back of the seats suffered from sun damage, cracking and peeling and probably should be replaced. * An external bolt on one side of the T-top is missing, so the passenger seat sometimes gets wet. * The windshield wiper light stays lit on the dash when the engine is on. * The headliner is no longer there (it got old and cracked so we pulled it off). * The T-tops can be removed easily and the jackets for them are included. * The inside shades for the T-top are missing. * The A/C works well but not on super high. * The power antenna makes clicking noises when it raises and lowers. * The stock AM/FM stereo radio is still there and plays cassettes, not CD’s. * The body has been well maintained except for a few dings and some damage on both bumpers. It was never in a bad accident while we drove it!! We recently realized there is rust inside the hatchback area from I think a leak at the rear wiper (so the hatch area gets wet when it rains). The carpeting in the hatch area is faded and should be replaced.) * The struts that hold the hatchback open do not work (we use a pvc pipe to prop it up). Vehicle is parked on-street. * Gas tank gauge shows ¾ tank when tank is actually full. I noticed if we overfill the gas tank, we smell fumes. * The passenger door must be locked from the passenger side.

“Prior to re-conditioning”
We own this car and drive it frequently. Prior to offering it for sale on this auction, we have listed any faults that we are aware of to the best of our ability.

You will not find the motor cleaned and you won’t find shiny protectorates such as “Armor-All” on it. Because we are in Pennsylvania and this sale is on ebay, the inspections are not guaranteed in any state as each state differs in their requirements. We have done our best in mentioning any items that are not working.
We will not under any conditions guarantee the check engine lights or any dash warning lights. If they are on we have disclosed this. We did not have a diagnosis done to see what it is because dash lights can come on at any time for any number of reasons so these lights are not guaranteed if they come on for you.

Used
“Cosmetically, the interior and exterior need work. It will need paint soon as the clear coat is peeling and the red and black are fading. The cloth seats are worn. The back of the seats are cracking and peeling. An external bolt on the T-top is missing. The windshield wiper light stays lit on the dash. The headliner is missing. The inside shades for the T-top are missing. The A/C works well but not on super high. The power antenna makes clicking noises when it raises and lowers. The body has a few dings and damage on both bumpers. There is rust inside the hatchback area. We think it leaks at the rear wiper so the hatch area gets wet when it rains. The carpeting in the hatch area should be replaced. The struts that hold the hatchback open do not work. Gas tank gauge shows 3/4 tank when tank is actually full. If we overfill the gas tank, we smell fumes. The passenger door must be locked from the passenger side. This car is mechanically sound ... meaning it runs well and fun to drive.”
