Title basically says it all, but I will fill in some background info.
I already own a 1991 240sx hatchback, but it is starting to show its age from general wear and tear. Mainly in the tranny and clutch systems. I have driven the car since I was 16 in highschool and have kept the car this long simply because I love it but the time is dangerously close to needing a replacement for it.
My original replacement car was going to be the 350z, but since the 370z has come out, I decided to replace it with this car instead. However, with there being some talk about a possible hybrid model for the 370z I have decided to hold off on purchasing a 370z until that plays out. So I am back to square one with needing to replace my current 240sx.
However, however, I simply refuse to sell off my car because I had plans to build it up and keep it as a nice project car once I paid off the 370z, but that is probably going to cost $20k or more to get it in the shape I want.
So during the process of weighing some options of purchasing a go-between car or beginning the rebuild of my car (was wanting to SR20 swap or RB25 swap to extend the life of the car) I stumbled across this possible gem of a 240sx.

And I will repost the guys first post with all the information pertaining to the vehicle in a quote box.

Left out his name, number, e-mail because that just didn't seem proper to link his personal info eventhough its at the link.
Anyway, I was hoping some of you more tech savvy guys could check this out and give me take on if this is a potential good deal for myself and worth investingating or if I should just move along.
Thanks for any help.
[EDIT]Zilvia.net appears to be a Z forum also, although not a 370z only forum, so I don't know how that will fall under the rules of posting. Sorry if I wasn't supposed to.
