3000GT question

Sep 13, 2003 7 Replies

I am thinking of purchasing a 3000GT very soon. I am looking at the early models (due to prices). Is there anything I such know or be looking for? Can anyone tell me if I should get a turbo or non-turbo? Anything else like:



How many miles do these cars go if regularly maintenanced? Anything I should be looking for when I inspect the car? Any known issues or recalls? Any bad year in particular?



Any type of guidance is greatly appreciated.



Thank you.


Is there anything I such know or be looking for?

pre 97 cars can have lifter tick. 97 and later cars have enlarged oil transfer ports. I have a 97 car in silver. The only problems I have had are the rear spoiler sticking when wet. Following a bit of tlc and good lubricant, this appears to have been sorted.

2nd gear very difficult to select from cold.(mitsi answer was, this is expected and is fine when gearbox is fully warmed up.) This should take about 10/15 mins. There are probably more things to look out for but others in this group should add a few things.

Can anyone tell me if I should get a turbo or non-turbo?

Get the turbo.

How many miles do these cars go if regularly maintenanced?

Serviced regular at every 4500miles and things should be fine.

No, not here. I did see a pic of a deeper blue one. That was nice.
