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

Gav.... interesting that it's at Gosford ....That car was sold from near where I am and I had contacted the seller about having a look at it for original detail information. He was good with that but he had taken a deposit and the car was collected before we could get together....the interesting thing is that he told me the car was being shipped to Western Australia.

Jack Wornock? (Spelling?) I think Gosford have bought the car off the new owner after it changed hands from near you. It was for sale about 1-2 years ago now.

The games small minded people play...tsk tsk

That's a bit presumptuous isn't it? Do you have good reason to suspect a member here?

 

Also not sure how relevant that is anyway, given any member of the public can register.

 

Why don't you just give it to Shannons to auction for you? They got a fantastic result for a 2+2 recently.

 

If you're interested in some genuine advice - remove the disclaimers about photo requests and time wasters - it makes you look intolerant and impatient. Discerning buyers (your target market) won't want to come near you with that sort of stuff on the listing. With numerous failed auctions (all visible to the public) consider advertising at a fixed price - it will help you avoid some of the time wasters you appear so sick of.

Well said, but I suspect we have heard the last Jen.

I am not being presumptuous at all, I know its a member of this site. I have done my research......google the name...easy.

 

I appreciate your "Genuine" advice, but i will stick to my professional knowledge of over 25 years in the automotive industry and keep my request for time wasters on the ad. My target market is Genuine buyers and since we have made that addition to our ad we have had less time wasters and more serious inquiries.

I for one don't take offence at all when something I am interested in purchasing states "no time wasters". If you genuinely are in the market to purchase and its what you want, you will get it regardless. The only people who get offended or deterred ARE the time wasters.

 

The same goes for people who come out to look at a car, spend an hour or so, then say "Yep, love it....its mine, but have to go back and speak to the wife first  .

 

First speak to the wife before looking or just grow some balls and tell her you brought a car.   

Anyway, I am not in a hurry to sell the car, I will wait for the right buyer with the right price to come along. 

 

Oh, and YES definitely intolerant .

[260z blues]

So i have looked at 2 zeds for sale in the last 6 months and both have had very munted/dented/caved in chasis rails both sides and in 1 case the full length.

 

Is this a common issue or am i just looking at beaten up cars lol.

 

Am guessing an expensive fix as i do not do bodywork myself ?

[260z blues]

Has anyone isnspected that 240z as above ?

 

Been listed a few times so makes me wonder.

[gav240z]

Lots of S30z's have had a hard life up to this point. So not uncommon to have major rust and or accident history.

 

You can burn through a lot of money with bodywork. Panels or good ones are getting hard to source locally.

 

I haven't seen the 240z above in person but I think it has a lot going for it including original radio. I think surface rust makes it look worse than it is.

 

Call seller and ask to have a look he sells a lot of S30z's. Isaac should be able to let you get it on a hoist for inspection too.

[260z blues]

Thanks gav240z

 

Isaac is the seller ?

[gav240z]

Yes he is in Penrith and has many cars been collecting them for years.

I saw this car at Sydney Datsun Day. Very tidy car that's obviously had a lot of work put into it. Owner runs his own metal fabrication business.

The seller was obviously keyword mining to maximise hits on his listing. Pretty funny because it mentions pretty much every car I have ever searched on Gumtree in one link!

1972 Datsun Fairlady 240Z Coupe

$5,000.00

 

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/emu-plains/cars-vans-utes/1972-datsun-fairlady-240z-coupe/1139948360

 

My Husband has For Sale a Datsun Fairlady 240 Z 2.4 Litre Single overhead cam motor with twin carbs with 5 speed manual gearbox. it has been sitting for awhile outside and time for it to go to a good home. This car is in need of a full restoration because of the rust, a great project car for someone who loves old jap cars.

Please look at the pictures very carefully as they form the discription on the condition of the car.

open to offers around $5,000. All offers will be considered.

Please make contact via Guntree first.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[gav240z]

It's a 71 in 907 Green. It has Datsun badges all over it. Not Fairlady Z parts. No doubt an HS30.

 

Good buy looks very original with Topy steel wheels and Hitachi head unit.

[PB260Z]

Really hard to tell from photos, but aside from the bonnet it doesn't look to have to much rust.

That hatch looks particulary good.

Edited February 22, 2017 by PB260Z

[gav240z]

It's sold already no doubt phone rang off the hook.

 

I wonder what number it was? I'm guessing 1000 - 1500 range.

[timtim]

damn didn't even get a chance ><

[260z blues]

Yeah i messaged last night and already had a deposit paid on it.

 

Looks like the perfect starting point for a resto to me.

Guess i just keep looking.

[gav240z]

So you paid a deposit and it was still sold to someone else?

[timtim]

Think he meant he sent a message to ask about it and a deposit was paid for it already.
