If you are serious about it, get it well checked out. I love those cars, they are lots quicker than an SVX. Almost bought one before I got the ICBP.

Couple of things to look out for;

i) the rear suspension has passive steering, Nissan call it Hi-Cas. Check it out well, if bushes were not replaced as required, holes will be ovaled, and very costly to repair.

ii) cats. It has lots of them. If they are gone, will be an expensive fix. Check it on a gas analyser.

iii) turbo. Avoid one that has been chipped up, make sure the turbo is good, blown turbo is expensive.

Lastly, if you do buy it, be really careful in the wet, it has nothing like the stabilty of the SVX, in fact, they are dangerous for the inexperienced. So take care.
