nuclear_z Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 New owner is from Vic, and not a member as far as I am aware. I thought it was going to end up going to a young kid who had all kinds of horrible plans for the car, but it has ended up with a nice lady who is a vet. She and her partner live in country Vic somewhere. They came up and were really happy with the car - said it looked a million times better in real life than in the pics. A word of warning to those interested in buying cars interstate. The purchaser initially used a VIP inspection service - they arrived on time, checked that everything on the car was as the ad stated and drove it. The inspector left my house and I felt pretty good as he gave me good feedback and said the car was great - a really well done example of a early 70s vehicle. Then to have the purchaser call and say that he wouldnt buy the car on what the inspector had said was really disappointing. Basically what occured was the inspector called the purchaser and said the car was rubbish because it wasnt standard. HE said it drives great, stops great and handles, but is rubbish because it isnt standard. When the purchaser arrived they said that what he had reported to them wasnt correct. So - just be careful if you want to use this service as the inspector isnt giving an unbiased valuation of the car. Quote

Thats absolute crap about the inspector, my friend got 3 MR2s inspected when he was buying, and mind you its not a cheap service and the feedback he got was totally incorrect. Quote
RBZ 260 Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 erm i doubt any inspector will say its good for any car they inspect. its safer for them to say its crap. so u dont buy it and they dont get blamed. simple. most of the times i refuse such inspection. i have no problem them getting it checked just the paid service is a joke an absolute waste of time for both parties and big waste of money to the potential buyer. Im pretty sure everyone know someone that is in the field to check the car for them properly. so nuclear z did u get close to what u were after? Quote
(Locky) Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 shame to see it gofrom picton this was the insperation for me to finally get a z let me know what your driving when you get a new car, i might take you for a spin in mine once its done to repay the favour Quote
George Posted July 27, 2009 Posted July 27, 2009 yeah i have to be honest and say i'm sad to see it go to the mexicans. yet another one Quote
nuclear_z Posted July 27, 2009 Author Posted July 27, 2009 I bought a CommonWhore to drive The designers of this car must have thought "hmmmm, how can we make this boring???" And true to yankee engineering they achieved what they set out to do... Black SV6 - parked outside of my work where the zed used to be. Locky - i'm still keen to give you a hand on yours if you want it. Quote
Add Posted July 28, 2009 Posted July 28, 2009 Any hint on which part of victoria we may see this getting around? Would be good to see another Z getting around central Vic? Very rare for a Z car to return to Mexico, but welcome none the less. Congrats on the sale. Quote
