You know, I'm not sure. But I do know it's original miles. I've watched them slowly creep up from about age 15. This is a barn find without the dust.

I hear you on the emotional attachment issue. Attached or not this car is getting sold. (The porsche, the model A, the volkswagon vanagon are gone. The Z is going too, he's serious.) I'm editing this post: I just looked at the hagarty link. Good stuff. I think his car is a nice #2 car. With what I consider to be low miles. I couldn't see how mileage might play into the price on that website. But thanks for that. If anybody else has any thoughts I'd like to hear them. PS. This car is nicer than that one in Canada with 13,000 miles. But...it's got 53,000 miles...

Hi Everyone, I'm new here, a car nut, but not really up on Z's. A friend of mine called me up last night and said he's ready to let go of his 1982 280 ZX Turbo. 53,000 miles, silver leather, T-tops, coupe. Auto. The car has sat inside it's whole life and is basically mint with only one little ding the size of a pinky nail. I haven't seen the car in years...I worked for him as a kid, but this car is his baby. All original and never wrecked or damaged in any way. He says it's a 9 in and out. I don't doubt it. Black and silver exterior. Assuming the car is what I say it is....what is this car worth? He probably doesn't want to sit on it forever but having kept this car this long, he certainly doesn't need to sell it quick. He'd like to get a fair price. I see the post above....do you think this car falls in the 14,000 range or might he do better with the leather etc. He's the original owner...pretty sure he would have all the original paperwork. Thanks so much for your knowledgeable information. Justin
