1. Christian Says: Guy owns two Zs.
clean title.
Needs valve adjustment.
4500k?

2. John Paul Says: Unfortunately top end noise is not easily diagnosed. Camshaft variable timing sprockets rattle timing belt causes rattle. Valve lifter buckets come in different thicknesses and are extremely difficult to adjust valve lash. But what if there is a oil pressure issue? July 1989 to 1991 cars suffered from soft intake valves. You never know but be sure to deduct about $1,000 for valve noise.

3. Mark S Says: Only if you pay a couple of hundred bucks first to have it thoroughly examined by a professional. It's a great, beautiful car, but at that mileage, there's just too much that could be nearing failure that, without a good inspection, you could be looking at nightmares.

4. ??? Says: 90K isnt bad for a Z32 but I'd be more concerned with the overall condition, Z32 cost alot to keep up so bear thatin mine. IMO only by a Z32 if you love it.

5. Antony Says: You should also consider that such a car may be expensive to insure. Check your insurance rates before buying one, for example here - carquotes.fateback.com

6. D Says: Turbo is good if the car is new, turbo is a headache if the car has lots of mileage
