Hey

[motobike5000]

Hi, im new here, ive owned an 82 280zx that i regret ever selling... im looking for a 79-83 nonturbo right now- i have my eye on an 83 with 102k silver leather seats,nice interior- dash good, 5 spd, one owner family with the carfax to back it up since 1986. askin 4500, im thinkin 3800 maybe. looks good, charcoal ext- original paint

But its from one of the great lake states, and i wonder bout rust underneath? ive seen some nice pics of it but im concerned about hidden rust- im too far away to look at it in person. Anyone know of any particular areas i should ask for closeup pics of?

thanks and its nice to be here

The usual spots would be the frame rails, floor boards, battery tray, etc. I'd definitely request pics of these areas.

No problem. Good luck with your purchase!

Another question- ive seen some 83 models with digital gauges and some with analog- did they offer both in 83?

[mr_denner]

welcome in this forms

I think they offer both digital gauges and analogs

[motobike5000]

thanks for the welcome denner, ive seen some 83s that had analog and some digital, though ive never checked the VINs to be certain- ill assume the digital guages are more problematic though i think theyre cool

I had an 85 300ZX with digital dash and the main part of the gauges went out and the replacement new cost was $800 if memory serves either that or that is what I paid at the salvage yard. I decided I didn't want expensive items on a car after that. The gauges were rather novel though and I enjoyed that part of the car. I like computer graphical things.

Anyone have a link for KBB classic car values, i found it on nada but not kbb. Ive talked em down to 3500 for the 83 non turbo. Im buying it next week.
