id check both of them out to see how clean they are, then make a decision off of there; I love the z32s, very nice cars. Autos are ok, although not as much fun as a manual

i wouldnt get an auto, also i'd call and ask if either are turbo, if they both arent then theres no point in debating on which one to get.

2+2 means there are two bucket seats in front, and two seats in the back...

I'm willing to bet they're both N/A cars. Being a TT 300ZX would be a big selling point for those cars and definitely worth mentioning. Besides...people charge out the ass for the TT versions. As far as the tranny...I'm married to my automatic. It's just less work in the city, it can handle more power with fewer mods, and it's more consistent when racing (unless you're a really good driver)...but it's all about personal preference.

I just had a friend that sold a 1992 300zx with 114k miles on it. Exterior was moded to the bone, but it was an auto and he let it go for 7g's USD.
I wouldn't get it if it wasn't a TT and manual.

the twin turbos are the expensive ones, those im willing to bet are both N/As cause that sounds about right for pricing a n/a auto 300zx thats 14 years old. as far as auto goes.... from my personal experience with 2 friends owning auto z32s, one went through 1 tranny and is having problems with the second one, and the other had problems with his once. ive herd from a few other people online that have also had problems with the autos... although they could be unique problems, its something to check out.

For that old of a 300zx, auto, N/A, those prices sound about right. Nothing to go crazy for.

Id say neither one, because they are both auto. From now on, until I turn 70, I'm against buying an auto.

I believe he measured their mileage in Kms...so multiply the mileage by 0.52 to get the numbers in miles.

I'd never buy a car off of Ebay without driving it first. Seems like you're just asking for trouble.
