Review
Found one with very low miles in pristine condition and just had to have it. Much faster and handles way better than the older ones by leaps and bounds! Do not buy it unless you know for a fact when the timing belt was replaced. The book say replace at 60K and they are serious about that. Cost on replacing the belt and water pumps is like 1200.00 so add that to the price of car and drive it to a Nissan dealer that day! It will break even if you are driving like grandma (and you won't, TRUST)! If it breaks, it will destroy the engine!! Even if it breaks while trying to start the engine. It is easy to get 300K+ out of one if you do this! If not, you will pay!
Favorite Features
Tee Tops and the way it zips around town. Drives like it is on rails!
Suggested Improvements
Have a warning light for timing belt replacement.

Review
I have owned my 1990 300ZX since 1996 and I have the very highest possible praise for it. I still to this day enjoy driving it so very much. With the t-tops off and the sun shining what can I say? It just makes driving anywhere, vacation highway or intown city, a true joy. Since it is very reliable my cost of ownership has been and continues to be low. It's extremely well made with highest quality materials (shut the door and notice the sound it makes - s-o-l-i-d). Note the interior curve on the passenger side dash - still beautiful after all these years. A super car whose low price one can purchase it for according to BlueBook/Edmunds in no way, shape, or form matches its high quality.
Favorite Features
High reliability, high quality build materials both interior and exterior, t-tops (which are e-z on and off) off highway driving on vacation with wind blowing thru hair, fun-fun-fun with great style... really just the whole ownership experience has been and continues to be a favorite feature.
Suggested Improvements
It's not a snow car so don't buy it with snow/winter driving in mind; repairs at the Nissan dealer are pricey but since it's very reliable there haven't been many (get a good local mechanic who knows his stuff); exhaust could use a throatier growl.

This is the most responsive car ever and a real pleasure to drive. Maintenance increased right at 100,000 miles, but put some $ into the old girl, and she's running almost as good as new! I probably won't ever sell as long as I can keep her runnin'!

This is an amazing car and just gets better with age. Although parts are expensive it has hardly needed anything.
