Nissan 300ZX/Stagea
.jpg)
A couple of very different but still popular models occupy this section; the 300ZX which dates back 35 years and the relatively new Stagea station wagon.
It doesn’t take a big stretch of imagination to see one of each in a Nissan enthusiast’s garage for a combined outlay of less than $20,000. Add $8K if you want a twin-turbo RS260 version of the Stagea to match your Z32 with its dual ‘snails’.

Early non-turbo or single-turbo 300Zs are holding their values OK but the Z32 twin-turbo ‘grey’ imports have become very cheap as age catches up.
Under $10,000 buys an Aussie-delivered, non-turbo Z32 and also the basic, single-turbo 2.5 Stagea.
