1982 Datsun 280ZX review from North America
"Sorry I got it with 218000 miles and not when it was new"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Electric harness, radio, washer pumps (front, rear), T-top leaks, transmission, starter coil, cracked dash and center console arm rest.Seats and carpets were worn.
All of the above have been repaired or replaced at a reasonable cost. There have been and continue to be rust spots, but I am told that is normal for this year model. These have been attended to as well.
General comments?
The car handles very well despite having been banged around several times.
Can't go anywhere without favorable comments.
