    Just curious guys,

    Were any of you fortunate enough to buy a 300zx when they were new in aus? Would have been something like $65 grand brand new..

    So tell me, did anyone do it and if so, still got it?

    Nah, just looked it up, it was $65 and $69 for the automatic. (talking about Australian zeds here, not US/Japan)

    Who recently sold their original?

    A '96 Aus spec sold for $87,195 (2+2) auto, so maybe a bit less for a manual and 2 seater....

    2 seaters weren't sold here.
    The lower prices would apply to when the Z32 was first released in mid-late 1989.

    RedZed

    A friend of mine bought a new Auspec red auto in 1990....think he said back then it was $79000.
    He still has it and has only 15000 on the clock.
    I have offered to buy it many times but he cant part with it.He was offered $20000 trade in on a Volvo wagon about 5 years ago.
    I still remember first day he took me for a drive....I eventually got one.....got it out of my system......I know you are happy with it now Turtle.

    nope but im soooo hoping i'll be buying a 370z when new :D

    Stupid LCT is the main thing putting me off THAT plan though. Let some other rich mug buy it, and then buy it 3 years later when it's below the threshold.

    sucks

    ROBBERY!!!!!!!!!!!

    hmm....can i ring up the police and report the tax man for theft? :D

    .....oh....of course not having the money is the other issue wiht my plan HAHA
