Hi, I'm looking to buy a Z for my first car, and I want some advice on what I should be looking for/what I can afford. I live in Florida, I have a ~$5000 budget, and the car will be a daily driver (I currently drive my dad's C3 Vette). I've been lurking at a few Z forums for the past few months and I think I'll take the plunge soon.
I really don't want to have to do serious body work (Dad's a mechanic, and I don't really care about the interior being bad), but looking around craigslist all I see are huge discrepancies in prices. I see Z's in pretty awful condition with asking prices around 7500, or even 8000. So my question is, what do you think I can get for $5000, or is that price unrealistic for what I want?
Thanks a lot.
