Guest 73LT1Z Posted March 27, 2005 Share Posted March 27, 2005 I'm shopping for either a 280, a Conquest, or a Supra to mate up with my surplus LT1/T56. I've noticed in each case people put ads on the Internet and then never bother to return calls or emails . Case in point: There is a cherry appearing white 280 in AZ that I've called on 4 times and left voice messages each time. I figured it was sold & then noticed the "seller" had renewed his ad for it. I know some can't make LD calls, so I also left my email address for him, no response this way either. The interesting thing about this "seller" is the phone # goes straight to voicemail during business hours or on the weekend. It comes back to a pool service company when I checked it on Google. Hope he is more responsive w/ pool customers . I've recently sold two vehicles on Autotrader & cancelled both ads within a week of each sale. I also answered all emails except for the "...hope it is still in a good condition. Hope you are going to give me a good offer for this car (note- I was selling a van) cos it was needed by my daughter to take to college. Get back to me." type of Nigerian scammers (although I did play with a few of them & gave them the FBI HQ adress for their bogus cashier's checks ). /Rant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeatRaveR Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 (although I did play with a few of them & gave them the FBI HQ adress for their bogus cashier's checks ). /Rant Ooh! That's a good one! Last week, someone tried scamming me (I'm selling one of my cars) with the ol' "I'll have my 'Financial Institution' send you X amount of money and you refund us the difference"-scam. I played with him, punching holes in his nonsensical story. Do you mind posting/PMing me the FBI address so that I can do the same thing next time this happens? Is it their cyber-crimes division that you had them send it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest 73LT1Z Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Where in Florida are you?I've got a straight 71 240z for sale. I can send pics if you are interested? I'm about 45 mins from the AL/FL state line. JT SW FLorida, a long trip from the Pensacola area. I have two Z candidates as of now, 1 in Atlanta & 1 in Central FL. I was looking at the 280 since after reading the JTR book it looked like this would be the best car for the LT1/T56 install. You can send some pics & I will look them over. My email address is available to club members- click on my user name. I need a car that was a manual tranny & had AC if this makes a difference in your case. Thanks for the offer.
