Was it a 91 Black/Black at a Toyota dealer in VA?

Yep, most certainly was.

I went with a buddy who was interested in buying a Z. Called and told them I was driving 1.5 hours + to get there and my buddy had an additional hour to my house to ride together. Agreed on time to see the car and test drive. Arrived on time at noon and was told, was just getting ready to call you, the car has a leak and you cannot drive it. It was a battle to even see the car. The oil cooler lines were off (common problem) and they had to jump the engine to start it. Sounded strong and had non-standard exhaust which sounded nice. Your right, there was a crack in the hood. Also the windows needed adjustment due to new rubber which was not quite right. Our WAZOO experts could have taken care of that. Saw rust under the hood on the drivers side firewall from maybe an alarm system. Problem is they have it listed for $3000 more than when I saw it maybe 5 months ago. Better options around but who knows, if they drop $8000 it would be a good deal.

Yea, I told them it would have to come down significantly before I even considered investing in it, now that I have the info from your experience, that kinda turns me off of it more. Thanks for the info!
