Torn between two beasts.

280z/300zx

I'd try and get them to come way down. You have to consider that if you were to try and sell it even 6 months from now you'd probably only get 25-30k for it. When buying used you should always try to aim for a price point that should you sell it in a short period of time you can usually break even. Unfortunately the Z doesn't hold it's value very well. I sold my 2010 NISMO in 2014 for 25k. I think if you can nab this one for 30k you'd be doing really well. At 35k it's a bit expensive.

As I mentioned before though, for 35k you can buy yourself a newer car that is much better. Assuming you aren't dead set on the Z body itself.

Also have you test driven a NISMO? I would really encourage you to get some seat time with it. And not some 5min drive around the block either. The suspension is super rough on the NISMO. Probably the roughest of any car I've been in short of a track only car. I daily drove mine for 4 years without much issue as I just got used to it buy my girlfriend at the time hated it. And she wasn't some prissy type. She drove sports cars herself with her car at the time being a 2014 Camaro 1LE. I'm just saying, the NISMO is not cush at all. Some people love it and others hate it. I was much happier when I went to my Vette GS. Same level of handling without the harshness
