Car runs good but i think i want to get a nicer one. 8500.00 firm. Car smokes a little blue smoke
All 90-92 Zs will smoke some. That is due to there being no valve stem seals in the motor. Lotus didn't design them in as "race cars" don't have valve stem seals. The redesign of the heads for the 93 year got seals.
If i had the money i would take it off your hands. My dad also has a 90Z. Smokes all the time. Could fumigate for mosquitoes when he leaves the starting line at an autocross event.

I thought that was only the 90's that had the smoking issue. My 91 doesn't smoke at all.
