Cars For Sale (3rd Party Sites) Ebay, Carsales etc..

Well, I just rang Tom, who seems like a nice bloke (albeit, with a bad stutter) asked him a few questions a bout the 240z.
He has a reserve of about 10g ( i think that may be a bit high).
The car has an aftermarket cam shaft which he described as very lumpy.
The passenger side floor pan has had rust before which he had welded and glassed in the past.
No rust in the battery tray apparently.
Most gauges work (most of the time, clock is dodgy and oil pressure can be intermittent.

It is what I want, and off to a nice start (with the cam and simmons) but I am not sure if 10g is too much (still new to the scene guys), anyone got any opinions on this?

10G is worth it for the overspray on the badges...
 

It seems overpriced to me, but then again, the last time I bought a 240Z was in '98

WHY it's RH drive? from the US.

Anyone know if these cam be register here in OZ. I figured since the same car was available here in Oz you can't register it as a RH drive

I'd almost consider this one - until I saw the price...

A good quality LHD 240Z wouldn't be worth $25kAUD surely...

And anyone who's anyone knows how much poetic license that particular yard takes with their sales pitches.

And how on earth can it be a 'concourse winning car' with downdraught carburettors?

/soapbox off...

So I went and had a look anyway. First ride in a Z too! Woo.

Its got no rust, the interior is not great, no carpet, a smashed parker light lense, no Z badge from the bonnet, driver interior door lock falls down and locks itself.
The paint is different shades of orange. The hatch doesn't hold up. Rear tyres are bald.

But he wont budge from 10g, he has a 1600 and 260z rally car, and a million parts, he knows his car isn't worth 3g, but I don't think its worth 10 either.

That green thing has been on Ebay about 10 times in the last few months, and I'm not exaggerating... Okay, maybe I am a little, maybe it's only 7 times.....  But seriously, I don't think it has ever run the full length of the auction before it gets pulled.

Well we are about to see again, i put my bid in to see how long it last.

[waxhead]

Im top bidder now
LOl
Only bid 6k I will take it for that

[hunterzed]

I had a bid as well. I wonder how long it'll take for him to pull it again. It looks great with the 2 tone paint job though.

It's not 2 tone...It is now painted in a Honda metallic green with the original cream vinyl roof,
Looks good thou..I'm pretty sure the he wants high teens for it..
If he would like it go the whole auction, which he won't.

[Stivva]

It was buy it now for 12g so how could he want high teens???

[WogsRus]

cos it has been on so many times, i have a reply saying it is defiantly for sale this time ebay only no advertised elsewhere

[Stivva]

Yeah, I am not keen on the colour or vinyl roof, but thats just me. I want something a bit more 'subtle'

[hunterzed]

Wow. I like the colour. I'd prefer it to be painted rather than vinyl though. I'd be interesting to see how they did the hatch.

It is a bit different.... If someone said to me they were going to paint a zed green with a white vinyl roof, I would probably barf....  But seeing it in the photos, I actually quite like it, although I would have liked the green to be one or two shades darker.  Looks tidy though, and very distinctive...
