This is the perfect car for your pleasure driving, (or perhaps for your college student at the University of Texas in Austin, if they deserve it).  The miles are so low, it is essentially a new car.  It is super clean, inside and out. 

When brand new, these are 48 k$ cars, but you can have this one for less than half.

The color is gorgeous: metallic sunset orange, similar to the Corvette "atomic orange" that they had several years ago.  The rear spoiler really makes the profile look good.  A six speed manual transmission hooked to the V-6, big Brembo brakes and great rubber make this an orange batmobile.  It is a pleasure to drive, and has classic lines (not like the overly street racer looking 370Zs

This car has always been garage kept under custom cover, and driven only on beautiful days.  It has been in the rain once.  Prior to my ownership, the owner only took it to weekend events and shows, and never washed it with a hose (likely only a bottle of windex).  Now I have indeed washed it a few times.  It has only been pampered.  I drive it ocassionally between New Braunfels and Austin on the tollroad.   Otherwise it sees only pleasure driving.

It starts smoothly, shifts smoothly, and drives like a dream.  The winner will get a wonderful car.

KellyBlueBook lists this car as $19.982, but you won't find another with this low mileage, even in more recent model years (like 350 Z for 2006, 2007, 2008, or 370Z for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013)

Preserving automotive history costs big bucks

Wed, 29 Jan 2014



$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.

Investigators say Mitsubishi mpg scandal was 'collective failure'

Tue, Aug 2 2016

Investigators hired by Mitsubishi Motors to probe why the Japanese automaker engaged in falsifying fuel-economy figures for the past quarter-century faulted the company's "corporate culture." Specifically, there was a lack of unity between divisions, company-wide pressure to boost fuel-efficiency numbers, and an unwillingness to accept fuel-economy shortfalls, Automotive News says, citing comments made by consultants who hired by the company to investigate the problems. Challenging management authority even if it was proper to do so was also frowned upon. One of the investigators called the scandal "a collective failure." Among other suggestions, the consultants recommended that Mitsubishi's vehicle-mileage certification be independent from research and development, that there's greater transparency overall, and that there's a more thorough understanding of laws. New shareholder Nissan may also invest in retooling Mitsubishi's R&D operations, and is sending one of its former executives, Mitsuhiko Yamashita, to Mitsubishi to try to prevent any sort of repeat problems. Mitsubishi joined a list of automakers including Volkswagen, Hyundai/Kia, and Ford that have been found in recent years to either mislead with its published fuel-efficiency figures or emissions-testing procedures. A Nissan spokesman declined to comment on the Mitsubishi report, according to Automotive News. The recommendation comes less than three months after the announcement that Nissan would help rescue Mitsubishi from its fuel-economy scandal by acquiring part of the company. Nissan agreed in May to pay $2.2 billion for a 34-percent stake in Mitsubishi, and said at the time that Mitsubishi would join the Renault-Nissan Alliance. Nissan also owns 15 percent of France-based Renault. That announcement came right after Mitsubishi's admission that it may have falsified fuel-economy data for every one of its vehicles made in Japan dating back to 1991.
