Thanks. i'll find out. I was going to look into insurance tomorrow...(well today). I'll let you know what happens

Thanks guys...it is sort of what i was expecting people to say...but i got a little excited and hoped i was wrong...for 2-4K i wasn't expecting a shiny polished car, but something that runs and as i get money i can improve it....but i can see that i'll need to extend my budget a little...

:( I really want to get one, dont have the patience to wait a few years...lol. Thanks anyways guys.

ok...thanks. however im not a big fan of the 280zx...i was looking specifically for the 240/260 I have found 2 260z 2 + 2 for about 6-7k. As this is my first classic, i wanted to look around to see if im getting my money's worth. These seemed to be in pretty good condition, so taking this as my...

the thing is i can't find that many cars on the market. and i don't know whether its because im looking in the wrong places, or its just that people arent selling at the moment.

2-4k i'd be happy with rust free

whats the story with rust???i no that they are known for rust issues...does that really mean winters are a no go with this car?and anything i can do to prevent it?

kool. thanks. you asked about my budget..is 6-7k not enough???

my budget is around 6-7k....I was looking at a 260z 2+2 as they seem more affordable. but datty240z mentioned that the car won't be winter-worthy....and if im spending anywhere near that price range i will need an all rounder cos i won't be able to afford another car... Also...being a new z-car...

Thanks....its just that I love that car for some reason. it doesn't look dated, and it's a car I can see me in. The only concern that i have is that if i put off buying the car then it will be a while till a have a chance to buy it (after car house/flat is priority). and the main reason i would...

Hi guys....I need some advice, I am considering buying a Datsun 240z/260z but i have some concerns. As i am a recent graduate, I only have the cash to either buy a modern car or get a Datsun (and spend the rest of the money to restore the engine and fix the body work....interior can be sorted...
