The vert has a lot of issues, but is driveable. Its got about 150,000 miles on it. I don't know much about the car as I bought this car as a future project and never got around to working on it.
Motor:
I haven't compression tested the motor, but it definitely feels like its lost a bit of power. It smokes very little at idle, sometimes not at all. The starter has a loose connection or a ground is loose somewhere, because sometimes the car clicks when you try to start it. It always starts up though.
Transmission:
Its an automatic. Shifts through all the gears ok, but sometimes there is a bit of delay. One of the Transmission cooling lines has a tiny leak. So I think it just needs a bit more fluid.
Body:
Front end is spray painted VERY poorly. A couple dents in the 1/4 panels, but someone good with body work could probably work with them pretty easily. There is some damage to the corner of the driver side radiator support. I'm assuming it was in an accident, but it doesn't look that bad. I am pretty sure the only damage was right there on that corner. The rest of the car is in pretty good shape. There is a dent below the gas tank from my ex-girlfriend. But looks like you could pop it out easily. The paint is ok. Needs a lot of polishing. As for rust, there is a bit in the center of the windsheild strip. Its bubbled up a bit, but I can't tell you how bad, as I've never worked with car bodies much.
Suspension:
Needs some serious work. Front passenger side bushings are severely worn. Causes the car to shake a bit, and bounces when applying the brakes. Its been like this since I got the car. I planned on replacing all the suspension parts, just never got around to it. But I've driven about 5000 miles or so like this.
Interior:
Not too good. Radio is missing, door panels are warped a bit and held together with woodscrews (previous owner). Just an average worn interior.
Convertible top:
The latches are worn down a bit, so you have to work with them a bit to get them to catch onto the windshield strip. There is about a 5-6 inch hole where someone broke into the car. I had it sewn shut, but locked the keys into the car, so reopened it. Rear window is also pretty faded.
Electronics:
Everything works. All the windows, vert top, cruise control, etc work. Some of the switches are missing covers, but they all work perfectly.
Wheels:
I have a set of old 80's tristars I was going to swap onto this car because I have a coupe I want the stock wheels on. I'd rather keep the stock wheels, but will work out a deal if you want them.

As for a trade: I have a 98' 240sx and a 92' 240sx I'm always on the lookout for more parts for. I'd trade this car for a used set of coilovers for the 92 coupe, maybe for some turbo parts for a KA, some nice 4 lug wheels, or maybe a 5 lug swap for an S13. Otherwise, I'm wanting an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3. Just let me know what you have, I'm open to a LOT of suggestions/offers.
