The car tends to stall at low temperature. Besides that it runs like a rocket (a fast one).
There is some rust on rocker panels, but they are repairable.
This car is fast. It has an advertised 135 horse power, but it feels so much faster.
It handles like a champ. Back roads and turns are no problem in this (of course, I did have a Buick before this).
High insurance!!!
High Insurance, I do not know what you are talking about. I am only 21 years old and I pay 280 dollars a year for my 1980 280zx, I pay 550 for 6 months on an 1990 Oldsmobile eighty-eight. Check insurance rates, some insurance companies consider the 2.8 liter engine as a small engine so my rates are low. The Oldsmobile has a 3.8 and this boosts my rates sky high.
I owned one and I was only 17 at then time and liability for me on the 280 and my father's truck was only 120$ a month... that's with a standard trans. and a few speeding tickets, how could I resist with all the power it has!
Well I have a 1980 280zx and I got oh say 5 or 6 tickets so my insurance is about 170 a month which isn't cheap at all especially when you are 17 but its worth paying that much because its so much fun to drive and is so quick for a 2.8.
Insurance companies are weird, I was able to insure a Crown Vic with a 4.6 V8 for the same exact rate as a Volkswagen Beetle with a 1.6. I'm 18, by the way.
