Just looking for opinions or previous owners, 3000GT VR4 Options

[aslearvert]

I recently came across a (great condition with extremely low mileage) 3000GT VR4... Just wondering what the 6GC community thinks of them. Have any of you owned one?

A friend of mine had it for about a year and a half...and the car´s CV was as follows;

In a first month he had to change the ABS sensor.
Then his regular maintenance included the timing belt change...which took about a week, and cost was waaaaay too much to pay for any car!

Then about six months later, the clutch broke, and since the transmission fluids were not exactly a primary concern with the previous owner, needless to say that the whole transmission broke!

...so from then on, the car waited for a new one for about three months!

When it was repaired, a few months there was peace and harmony...till the rear diff broke!

So, they patched it somehow, and my friend parked it in a garage and advertised it for a few months, untill he finally sold it!

I´ve heard that the car exchanged quite a few hands since then!

And as for my friend, he bought a 300 ZX Twin Turbo, and never had one single problem since he bought it...

Anyway, after driving it on the track, I gave up on the idea of being a fan of the 3000...to me it seemed kinda non responsive, and much more bling than bang, so I gave up wanting to have one for myself!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot...my ST oversteers more than the 3000, which really is kinda bad!
