I wanted a 7th Nissan, its just that I seemed to have bought a Yugo compared to my 300 or other Datsun/Nissans.
The 300ZX was a very well built car no doubt, theres a reason they were $40-$50k in the mid 1990s. But they were also fairly complex cars for their time, that coupled with around 20 years of age means that as a whole they will not be as reliable as a new Z. Not everyone is going to have a problem free car, even with new cars. This was the same when the 300ZX came out as well. I can assure you a used 300ZX is going to need more care and maintenance then a new 370Z.
