Couple this with competitive pricing and we anticipate buyers will be queuing around the block to get their hands on one. But, if the newcomer doesn't do it for you, might we suggest a more retro alternative? This 1993 300ZX (Z32) twin-turbo should fit the bill nicely. At just $29,500, this barn find is even cheaper than the new Z car. It may not be new, but it certainly looks that way. The 29-year-old example is showroom fresh, with bright paintwork and pristine alloys. It appears to be devoid of any scratches or dents, too. Even the T-top is devoid of wear. It should look even better once it's detailed, though. Craigslist Craigslist Craigslist Craigslist The interior tells a similar story. This Cherry Red Pearl example features a black leather interior. The somber cabin presents as new, with the bucket seats showing very little signs of age. The only thing that betrays the 300ZX's age is the shoddy-looking red floor mats. This is easily remedied with a deep clean, though. The condition of this Japanese legend is quickly understood once you glance at the odometer. With just 24,933 miles recorded, it has covered just an average of 860 miles a year. As the listing explains, the time-warp sportscar has been sitting in a garage for a long period. Thankfully, its elderly owner had the good sense to charge the battery and start it up now and again. The low-miler comes with three sets of keys and the original owner's manual. Keen drivers may be discouraged by the four-speed auto box but, for Z car aficionados, that could be the barn-find of a lifetime. The seller notes the 1993 300ZX will require a checkup. Craigslist Craigslist Craigslist Craigslist If we had to take the plunge, we'd spring for new tires and a fluid change. We're guessing the gas tank may need a bit of attention, too. Still, tidy examples of the Z32 are becoming scarce so any work that may be required will be worth it. Under the hood, the twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 mill musters up 300 horsepower and 283 lb-ft of torque. Despite the gorgeous condition and low mileage, it's not the finest example we've seen in recent weeks. In April, a white-painted example with 6,000 miles went up for auction, replete with the more desirable five-speed manual gearbox. With the highest bid coming in at over $50,000, it's considerably pricier than the subject of this article. If you can live with a 0 to 60 mph time of between five and six seconds, this classic Nissan could be an interesting alternative to the new boy. What it lacks in straight-line speed, the 300ZX makes up for in style and nostalgia. Craigslist Craigslist Craigslist Craigslist Craigslist Craigslist
