Couldn't agree more, i won't be paying 16k!

Hi all, I have been looking around for a 260z 2+2 for a few months now. I came across one parked in a local mechanics today. It turns out it is his and he is interested in selling. He wants $16k, but thats ridiculous ('76, L28 with fuel injection, very straight, minor rust spots). What i would like to know is if there are any trusted datsun familiar mechanics on the northside of bris who could do a pre-purchase inspection for me? Thanks

Result! Pulled the 'bus' drivers out of the shed. Nice to meet you all, your comments re regular drives etc sit very well with me, I'm not in it for the show just to enjoy driving a beautiful car. They do seem a precious lot!I guess the cars are becoming precious as well so cant argue. I dont own one yet, and have only been looking/interested for the last 6 months, but haven't seen a 240/260 on the roads around Brisbane. Cheers everyone for contributing, enjoying the community!

Thanks Rertro z, i did see that one, close to me as well. Will a carb set up like that increase fuel consumption or can they be tuned down for city driving? Sorry - noob remember!

Thanks Retro z, i knew someone would allude to cutting them up, go for it mate, just leave a few on the road!

Hey Benny, im looking for good original car, not a project but i am happy to clean up some rust and provide some minor tlc. Needs to be ready to drive daily, with solid mechanicals. I am new to the scene, sick of plastic modern cars designed to fall apart and impossible to repair at home. always loved the style of these cars. Looking to spend $10 ish

Cheers Benny, thought as much. They seem to be a little cheaper, so that works for me. If anyone can add to this please do. i.e. - other issues with the 'bus'

Howdy all, first time on board so most of you will probably hate me for a while, thats ok - u know stupid questions and all that. My first is what is the deal with the 260z 2+2, seems to be quite a bit of dislike or at least lack of respect. Is this purely an aesthetic thing (longer wheelbase etc) or are there mechanical/structural/handling issues related to the model? The extra seats appeal to my needs and it is still a great looking car!
