Used Car of the Day: 1982 Datsun 280ZX
We're going north of the border today for this 1982 Datsun 280ZX.
It has a fuel-injected 2.8-liter engine, four-wheel disc brakes (ventilated in the front), power-assisted steering, T-bar roof, vocalized warning system, tinted windows, alloy wheels, and analog guages.
It has a five-speed stick.
It's a deluxe model, meaning it has A/C, power windows, and dual rearview mirrors that are controlled from inside the cabin.
Finally, the car also has the original radio and cassette deck, plus a power antenna.
If this sort of thing interests you, the car is for sale in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada for $20,000 CAD. There are 180K kilometers (or miles, it's not clear) on it. Apparently it's also been rust-proofed and never sees water unless it's being washed.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
