Wow!!

There's a 280zx turbo automatic a couple hours from here with 10k miles?!?!?! it doesn't run but the motor turns over, its been sitting in storage for years.


buyer is asking $2200, I think I should buy it. probably the lowest mileage Z I've ever seen.

1981 should be a 6 digit speedo. I doubt it turned over a million miles.

I'd believe 100,000 original miles though.

Very curious as to the mileage of the car "...with 10,174 miles. Title States Actual Mileage." what does it mean that the title states actual mileage. Hoping he meant that the title states that the mileage is 10,174 and not that the title states actual (different) mileage.
Come on King check it out take some pics and thing, as you can see we are all full of imagination here

BTW check out the link in my signature posted new pictures of my new paint/body work on the car. The white Z31 is my bro-in-law's

all that I'll have to do is ask for a some pictures of the underbody, you would definitely be able to tell whether it has 10k or 100k.

Its been parked in storage for 10 years or so

anyways I'll keep my fingers crossed.

spend the $25 on car fax and find out what it says. Could well be correct. buddy of mine went to visit a friends widow and she said take that car out of the barn would you. 74 vette on blocks with 17000 on the clock. you never know.

It's possible, but I don't think I'd pay $2200 for a car that was purchased almost 9 years ago and didn't run when it was bought... I might go $1000, but that'd only be if I was feeling unusually enthusiastic and it started right away with a "spare" ecu...
