What mechanical problems should I anticipate with a low mileage (approx
36,000) 1993 300ZX that hasn't been driven for about 4 years. The reason
it wasn't driven is that the owner had health problems. The car was fine
operating condition at the time he stopped driving it. [I know the owner
and was familiar with the car so I knew what he's saying is true.

I appreciate your help!

I'm not an expert, but at the very least I'd put fresh gas in it. How
about posting a link to some pics? (Sounds like the car's pretty clean.)

http://tinypic.com/ will let you upload pictures and link to them- please
don't post any pictures directly to this newsgroup. :-)

Good luck with the car.

Thanks for the info re fuel systems below:

Does anyone have an idea of what will be a cost range to clean-out the
fuel system?

Thanks! I was afraid that sitting for that length of time would require a
new engine.

The engine is probably OK but it's not ideal for it to sit this long.
