No 300ZX for me. :(
 
So after work yesterday I rush out the door and drag my roommate to Vegas to pick up my new 300ZX. The whole time I'm nervous about the car making it back home because I know nothing about it. I've done this before, but it wasn't pleasant. :-\ We get to the trailer park :-\ where this guy lives and I see the car sitting out front with another 300ZX and a beat to hell Civic. The guy is waiting for me outside and hands me the key to the car. I jump in and fire it up. Well, I tried. It didn't really sound like it wanted to start, but then it sputtered and fired up. The check engine light is on and it smells like ass. It's missing like a mother fucker and it won't hold a steady rpm. He says it needs a tune up and it's been sitting. I go to the back of the car and the left side of the exhaust is pushing a good amount of air while the right side is hardly pushing anything. :-\ That's a bit more than needing a tune-up. I start walking around the car and notice the passenger window is missing. ??? He says it had just got broken into and he had another window in the back. I guess he was nice enough to rush to the junkyard and find a replacement window and clean up all the glass. I walk around the front of the car and notice the dent I saw in the photos is gone and now there is a rough patch of paint which you can obviously tell some dildo tried to fix it in the backyard. Looks like hell. The whole time I'm walking around the car checking it out the car is idling and sputtering and ----..........

I tell the guy I want to have my mechanic look at it in the morning(yeah right, later dude)and I would have to come back. I start looking at this other 300ZX he had sitting there and asking questions about it. I told him I saw it on Ebay and he assured me it wasn't on Ebay. I walk up and I notice the hood pins and I know I saw this car on Ebay. He fires it up and revs the hell out of it and it runs just as bad as the other pile of ----. Thsi one has an even shittier idle. I go to the back of the car to watch the smoke pour out of the exhaust and I hear a very loud buzzing. He said the fuel pump went out and he took it to a shop and had a new one put in. It was one of those universal Checker Auto parts fuel pumps. ::) Not only that, I look in his feedback and he won that car for like $1400 and the previous owner installed the fuel pump. ::) Thsi guy was so full of ----. He was trying to sell me anything he could. Then he offered to call a tow company and it would be $100 to tow the car to my house and he would knock $200 of the price. Wuh? I thought I was buying a good running car and you're offering a tow company? Not only that, what kind of tow company only charges $100 to tow 160 miles from Nevada to Arizona?

Long story short, I wasted my Friday night driving to Vegas for no ------- reason. Shady mother fuckers in this world. >:(

Actually after sitting in that car I really like them. Interiors are very nice and sporty. 4 wheel disk brakes with ABS, factory 16" wheels, RWD, V6, leather, power everything,........way better than any Civic I've ever seen. :P

I might be looking for a Twin Turbo with a 5 speed. Don't be mad that a bone stock 300ZX with full leather interior and PIMP status is faster than your built Honda. :-*

:-* It's going to be even funnier after you dump $5000 into that Civic and still only run 12's if you're lucky. :P
