All of the East coast S30's are going to be plagued with rust issues. You can pick up a rust Z for cheap. But fixing it is another issue. Like I said before, if you can repair it yourself then that will make the purchase better. If you don't feel comfortable fixing/repairing rust then expect to drop some money on paying someone to make the repairs. I see Datsun's go anywhere from 800-2000 in decent condition and minimal rust, so there is hope.
