300zx, Should I stay or should I go? Options

[goferris]

So i've been thinking about selling the celi again and getting a 300zx NA. The reason behind this is that I can get the 300zx for 3800 with the same amount of miles and it's RWD and has a V6. I like the way they look and I'll be saving a lot of money on car payments and such. Also they are a LOT faster than the celi.

Does anyone have any previous experience with these? Anything these are notorious for? Please NO FLAMING!!!!

I do love my car but I just want some change. I've owned a 6gc for about 3 years now and just want something else before my car is worth less than I paid for it.

Don't tell me to just Turbo/Do a swap either. That is out of the question for me.

That's probably a wise decision. For the price of insurance on a n/a 300ZX its probably smarter to get something else.

Remember, you pay insurance on the name. If you buy a cheaper car(ie S13, S14, S30, Z31,B14) based on its platform and don't tell the insurance company you plan to modify it, you should be okay.

Also you probably can't compare the feeling of a Nissan to a Toyota or Honda(or any of the big 6 for that matter), you would just have to drive it to figure it out. What you can compare is the fan-base and aftermarket support and you would find that there are a lot more American Honda and Toyota fans and parts than there are for Nissan.
