Administrators gav240z Posted September 17, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted September 17, 2014 Someone should rock up to his house with the cash and see what happens. Oh if I was to go to his house it wouldn't be with cash in my hand. Well done boys the ad is down, too much heat haha. I've seen this sort of thing before, I once bought a pair of rare seats on eBay (for the rx-7) and then 2 days later I saw the same pair on Gumtree. I asked the seller (on eBay where I won it) what was up and he said he didn't advertise them. So obviously it was a scammer. We got the ad taken down. Seen the same thing with an RX-7 not that long ago also. They always advertise them at a super cheap price so you feel like you're getting a bargain. Then there is always a reason why the car can't be seen and that they need a deposit to hold it etc.. Just another reminder to be very careful when something appears too good to be true, it almost always is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reverendzed Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 My concern is that if you rolled up with cash - it might be more about robbery than a bargain! Great to see that as a community we can at least attempt to have each others backs. Rev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luvemfast Posted September 17, 2014 Share Posted September 17, 2014 I'm assuming the address is a fake. But maybe the phone number could be handed over to police...... or A Current Affair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators gav240z Posted September 19, 2014 Author Administrators Share Posted September 19, 2014 Yeah I don't mind the red dashboard, but it looks horribly out of place with the white interior. I'm more worried about the paint job done on it though. Looks awfully 'rushed'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GK510 Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Spotted this one just as I got home from work today. The ad had only been up an hour or two. Clicked the link to show the phone number, and bam, it refreshes the page and is listed as sold. Anyone here on here happen to grab it? There was no pics but at the price that was listed, I would probably have bought it sight unseen! Doh! http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/warwick/cars-vans-utes/1970-datsun-240z-coupe/1057446074 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe $10k/$15k for this 240K. Also whats with all these people trying to cash in on 2+2's. They are not nearly as desirable as a 240Z and the market at one time or still is flooded with these 'rare' examples some very well over priced. It's very funny when they claim rare on their advertisement but there's about 8 other 2+2's for sale on the same site. They are very uncommon but far from rare 2+2's that is. Something I needed to get off my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
