You can add the Z32 Nissan 300ZX to the list of cars that I have had the chance to drive and wouldn’t mind owning one day, just as long as I find the right one at the right price, of course.
The right one would be a late model year Turbo with a 300bhp 3.0-liter V6 featuring twin Garrett turbochargers and dual intercoolers, but I would settle with the regular 222bhp 3.0-liter V6 model, as long as it came with a stick shift, which happens to be the case of our latest find.
Even better, it’s virtually brand new and unused with only 145 miles (233 kilometers) on the odometer.
However, there’s one huge problem; the Greensboro Nissan dealer’s asking price of $85,987, which is absurdly high for this car. Don’t forget that we are talking about a base version of a Japanese coupe of which more than 160,000 examples were built during its lifespan (1989–2000), so it’s neither rare nor that desirable.
We had posted a story on a black-on-black 1996 300ZX T-Top Coupe with 144 miles that was listed for sale on eBay this past April, but it had chrome rims, while this one sports satin-finish wheels – we don’t know for sure if it’s the same car as the ad has since been removed.
