Default Talk me out of it (UPDATE)

Well... as is often the case... it was too good a deal to be true....

The 260Z I was gonna trade my Civic for needs major work... Engine is seized (can't even get it to turn over) and I found out it's been sitting for 5 years without running. Sooo... no Z for me...

A couple of pics in case you are interested...

Due to the fact that the motor has seized... this would be a fairly expensive restore (i.e. money pit). I didn't post the interior pics, but it's in pretty bad shape as well.

My goal was to have a fun weekend car, for the money it would take me to get there with this one, I can just go buy one already running.

due go to a pick and pull and find an 280 thats been totaled,and get the motor it wont cost you much more than 500 bucks,plus since you have another car you got all the time to drop the new motor.i love the 280 z its my fav nissan aside from the 510.and im pretty sure a 280 would fit in a 260,i wouldnt se why not.

I feel ya on the money pit part. My 510 is killing me, but it's a labor of love lol! Sorry that the deal didn't go as planned.
