So I've been waiting 2 years to get a 240z ever since I was an Idiot and sold the 280z...

I finally located one about an hour away from me in Iowa.

The Body was solid and *mostly* rust free and the engine just burned a little oil. Needed some work, but thats ok! its only 1k and I could do some work on it over the next month and get it working... (Here is Murphy's Law), I get my loan for it...yay! but on my way home from work... my car DIES! like, engine fuses and won't move....great, now I probably have to replace the engine and 'darn', so much for the 240....

Same thing happened to me about 15 years ago. I bought a cheap motorbike and rode to work on that while I saved up to get the the daily driver fixed. Still got the 240z. :classic:

Hope you find a way to still get the 240z.

things are looknig up... (not for my neon though)

if the car ends up being totalled I'm going to just (try) and get the Z, if I have a chance, going tomorrow to check it out. I'm putting a new thread in HELP ME for tool ideas..

CAUTION:

If you took out a SECURED loan, i.e. the title of the Z in lien of the loan, then you MUST buy the Z or be in default of the loan.

If on the other hand you took out a SIGNATURE loan, then it's on your honor to pay it back.

A little off topic, but anyway...The first car I ever bought via a bank loan was my 1978 280Z in 1983. It was listed in the NADA guide with a loan value of $4,750. Wish I would have saved a copy of that page. Ahhh, the good ole days. Bought it off a guy that was selling it to by a Corvette. His loss was my gain!

Dont get bank loans if you can help it,they arnt worth it.

Actually I took out a secured loan (using the cash not the car) just to get my credit up... (give them 1000 and they loan you a 1000) should have been more specific.

I'm actually going to pick up the 240z tomorrow!!!!! Im SOOOOOO excited!!
