What do you think of this Z?
I'm not thinking about this very seriously. But do you see any obvious glaring issues. I want to better prepare myself for my intense shopping session to follow.

linked me to a ebay listing.. not loval listing for you... your in WA he is in CA... 5 k for that car... its a scam i agree with B. you email him ask to some see it and he will make **** up or not respond. garunteed... that or if it is for real... it runs like utter ****....
btw.... its to much car for you
seriosly though.. if i was you id start out wiht an NA and learn your way around the Z how to take care of em... all the odds and ends and then graduate to TT... it truly is a learning experience and for your first Z.. let alone a Z32 and at your (our) age..... i recomend getting an NA. trust me on this one.

i guarantee it wont be there. the first thing that made it obvious that it was a scam was the email at the top. next was his lack of info on the car. then the "do not email my ebay account, cuz its not mine" statement. then the $5000BIN. then the free shipping.
did zs come with passenger side airbags?

Just looking through this guys feedback I can tell he's a piece of crap. He deals in used cellular equpment, lists it as new, gets pissed when he has to pay 20 bucks shipping and handling and doesn't read the auctions he buys from. 97% positive feedback with as many auctions as he's done is a pretty bad score. And the listing for the car ended with the "buyer" reciving bad feedback because they supposedly tried to negotiate a lower price after the auction? My ***. More like he "bought" the auction with an alternate account which is clearly against eBays TOS.
I deal with jack offs like him all the time, forget about it.
If you have any query to the car it looks like the plate # is 5NJS338, could always run a check on that.

i've been looking to buy a bmw E30, E36 and some auctions looks good but idk, buying a car on ebay just doesnt quite convince me especially if 1) u cant drive it and see it in person and 2) it might be a scam. i've been frauded before but it wasnt as big as a car. all signs lead to be a scam though. the best thing i think is to be patient and look for one u can actually meet the person to negotiate and to drive it and inspect it. just my 2 cents.
