The eclipse is about to be gone! I just couldn't pass this baby up. 1986 Nissan 300zx 119k miles, nice interior and straight body, nice paint, 5 speed manual, t tops and it still has the original t top bags to put the tops in when you take them off. I just gotta get the deal worked out with the dealer. And don't worry guys, the stang isn't going anywhere!

I will only give one piece of advice on this, Definitly make sure the transmission is good.
They are very expensive to replace.

Well I've decided against getting the car right now. I don't want another car that old for a daily driver. It's probably for the best later.

Get yourself a mid-90s Ranger with a 5-speed, they get good fuel mileage and last forever. My friend bought a '94 from a Pepsi auction(he works for them) for about $400, and last I recall, it had 225,000+ miles on it and still ran nicely. 4.0 liter V6 and a 5-speed in that little truck got about 25mpg and plenty of power, too.
