Jay Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I'm from the UK, so ideally looking for someone who's willing to ship the car - from what I can tell, it's relatively straight forward. Looking for a 240/260/280z - preference would be 240. Must be okay to use as a daily, preferably with as little rust as possible (obviously) My budget is around $5000, so looking for cars around that.

BluDestiny Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 So just out of curiosity do you have a shipping agent or know someone in the US, preferably in Southern California, nevada or Arizona region? And does your price include shipping it to you? I sold my 260z to someone from the UAE. He called me, I didn't believe him, a few hours later a tow truck operator showed up with a wad of cash to take the car away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 6, 2013 Author Share Posted December 6, 2013 I haven't done any research yet, other than a few "instant quotes" - a quick Google showed up various options, and there are probably lots in the main cities.. It's just finding one that is reliable and cheap! Price doesn't include shipping to me, so I guess a total budget of around $7k is available if you can figure out a cheap way to get it to me (Any captains of navy vessels around?!)

mrw Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Don't be afraid to ship if you have a car to sell. I sold my diesel Ford Excursion on fleabay to a guy in Sweeden. He wired the money and the shipping company picked it up at my office. The total from my door to the port in Sweeden was $1,300. I paid $1,100 for a z that I had shipped from the Los Angeles area to my door on the east coast. I used D.A.S. to ship the car from Cali. I donot recall the company that shipped to Sweeden.

1 tuff z Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Would this z work for you? It's about 2 hours from my house in upstate NY [about 6 hours north of NYC]. I spoke with the seller yesterday, he's sending me more pictures and the vin along with build month/date this weekend. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted December 23, 2013 Author Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the PMs guys Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to put this on hold until the summer - Ill keep an eye on these forums and if a bargain comes up I'll consider it, but I can't justify embarking on this project when I've got the Miata to complete! Would this z work for you? It's about 2 hours from my house in upstate NY [about 6 hours north of NYC]. I spoke with the seller yesterday, he's sending me more pictures and the vin along with build month/date this weekend. David That's a bit of a project! I'd be looking for something I could use daily whilst I improve Edited December 23, 2013 by Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbrit Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) decided to keep it awhile with plans on some engine mods. If I can get the ac to work, it'll be a great summer daily driver Edited February 27, 2014 by cbrit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
