TBH, stay patient. I looked for my Nismo for about 5-6 months. I looked through almost every state of Craigslist, ebay, autotrader, and cars.com atleast once or twice a week up until I found the perfect deal.

I was in negotiations for quite some time w/ a few that I still held out for. Its very much worth sticking to your guns until the perfect situation comes up.

Not sure how picky you are with where the car has been driven, and if you plan to drive it year-round? If so, then obviously don't purchase a Z from around here. I was lucky and found one in Ohio that literally had been driven one summer there(1800 miles), and was purchased from a North Carolina dealership which the car had never been titled previously(Test vehicle by Motorweek magazine, with a break-in up until 5k miles)

Thanks for the heads up. I'm definitely not in a rush whatsoever. The base sports model 6spd is what I'm aiming for but if I run into a touring sport or nismo with a good price then ill pick it up as well. I'm super picky and hard headed so it will have to be black and again at least a sports trim/style. The Z will be a summer car as I store my baby(2002 celica) all year round and daily drive my 96 celica. Hope some of you guys can help me out in the near future

Would be happy to help bro. I've been around the platform for quite a while, bought an '06 G35 coupe right outta college(daily driver), sold that, exactly 1 year later bought an '08 G37 coupe(garage queen), which I sold this a year ago and pulled the trigger on my Nismo this spring. Definitely have a lot of experience finding and purchasing the platform, as well as modding. Any questions, definitely feel free to ask.
