should i buy for 500$ ?

i found a 93 300zx tt with 110,000 miles it has no transmision and the turbos were takin off i think the motor is ok its an automatic car but i would do a five speed swap he wants 500$ for the car the body is great but needs paint and interior is it a good deal?

jump on it ! 500 dollars for a rolling chasis is perfect start . if i had the chance i would buy it and buy a Jdm Motor off ebay and swap it in.. make sure the wire harness is still complete with the ecu. Check to see if the fuel pump works... Put in a battery and turn to key to hear the fuel pump starts to pump or turn on. your hard pressed to find a TT at all now adays all the ones i have seen are the 1990's if i had to pick i would get the 1994 or 1995 tt my 2 cents, Ken

your gonna need drive shaft but rear diff should be okay. if u had a na and u put a tt in with tt trany the rear diff will bolt up but u get a little bad mpg. NA diffs i think have shorter gear ratios

I'd Haggle. Just about any running car is worth $500. This ain't running. Offer $375 and go from there. It's worth about $225 in scrap.
