Guest zfan Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 POS comes to mind, they forgot to mention that in the discription too! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusPuppis Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Nice, 1100$, one picture and not one lick of a description about the integrity of the parts of the car we cant see. Strange, I dont see it selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhadman Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I believe this might be a case of: "Hey Cletus, what you think this here things worth?" $1100 shot in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jersey Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 I hope it sells and raises the value of my Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted November 10, 2005 Share Posted November 10, 2005 Was running when parked! LOL! Actually, you guys would be surprised how many people try and sell z's like that at this kind of price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheNeedForZ Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 Heh, and it will always "park" itself when you try to run it ! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MusPuppis Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 you guys would be surprised how many people try and sell z's like that at this kind of price No kidding. About a year ago, before I got my Z back a friend of mine called me and said his neighbor had a Z he was selling. Complete car, minus the entire drive train, rear end and all. I asked him to take a look for me (he had moved recently and was about 130 miles away) and told him what to look for and get as much info as he could about the car and a price. I figured, hell, if its reasonable maybe I'll try to pick it up! Well, he calls back, gives me the info. 76 280z. Battery tray looks good. Pans and floor rails are toast. Rear hatch landing is showing signs but doesnt look like it needs to be replaced. paint appears to be original and in very bad shape. One door is bent to hell and wont close, dash is completely trashed, seats are bleh, rest of the interior is decent, but showing its age. Suspension seemed ok, glass was good. No title. Who knows how many hands it had passed through. All-in-all a semi decent car to buy as a shell to restore - which is what I had in mind. Not ideal. If the price is right (I was thinking 500-700$) I might pick it up. Asking price? 2000$! Yay! The guy said the Z was so rare the shell was actually worth 5-6k (haha) but he needed to get rid of it ASAP. I also deal with DSM's on occasion 'cause a friend of mine has some bizarre love affair with em (dont get me wrong.. good cars, but I dont see the basis for an obsession..) and the prices people ask for them and their parts are completely rediculous. 90-93 Bone stock, mediocre shape 160k AWD Turbo cars and poeple are asking close to 5k for some of em.

80LS1T Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 If that thing sells for $1100 there are 2 280Z's down the road from me that are in similar condition that I will go buy and resell for a huge profit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaleMX Posted November 11, 2005 Share Posted November 11, 2005 I'd rather have the bus in the background. If it didn't run you could at least live in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

innerware Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 At least seeing a car like that makes me happy that my two were way cheaper and in sooooo much better shape. The 77 I just bought this summer for 400 bucks is night and day compared to it. What a joke. That car needs to be set on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted November 12, 2005 Share Posted November 12, 2005 ....The 77 I just bought this summer for 400 bucks is night and day compared to it. What a joke. That car needs to be set on fire. Ditto. That is not worth $400 let alone $1100. Seriously, I wouldn't pay $100 for it. I can get better Z's than that for much less. It often happens---you just keep your eyes on the classifieds, PennySaver, Craigslist, etc. I won't buy a Z off of ebay unless I've seen the car in person, period!
