pm's have been answered. alot of interested peeps on it but mostly a bunch of flakes .... why do peeps waste other peeps time if they don't even got the $. *sigh*

 

lol... is this the first time you've ever tried selling a car?

 

i got some things.... kinda gonna rag on yah though haha sorry bro.

A) why the **** is the radio/CD head unit in the glove?

B) the shifter, gross, same with the pedal covers.

C) how can you remove the tach when thats the only damn tach in the car and that will probably work with the car cause in my turbo swap resistor block or not it kept blowing tachs.

D) looks like the windshield is cracked in on picture which isn't mentioned, is that true?

E) HID, not in projectors, and purple meaning a high K output, which in theory are now far more inferior than even stock headlights... its true, you can look it up.

F) whats teh other side of the car look like? and the rest of the interior? what about under the car and in the engine bay? and how about getting a video for us out of towners, especially since its very easy to have a poorly running turbo conversion.

G) missing emblems + washing the car + rain = hidden rust

H) wheres the door handles and rear hatch lock/release.

I) dude, are you washing a primered car? no bueno....

J) why did you mix springs?

k) your just kinda lacking alot of details people would like to know, such as ANY damage, dash cover? how do all theings electrical function? heat? A/C? any leaks? compression numbers? last fluid changes? with what kind of fluid? any tranny grinds? an N/A trans or a T5? what wheels (not rims) will be sold with it with what condition tires? runing more boost? intercooler? im guessing not for those last two. just... more stuff!

sorry for tearing into you, i only did it because mostly, im somewhat interested, and because i think your starting asking price might be a little up there. you shall be lucky to recieve any more money than i did for my turbo swap 260Z which was 3200 dollars. i though to, hey! its a 260Z witha turbo motor in it (and this was before everyone and their mom started doing the S30 turbo swap) so i figured they would sell like hot cakes, incorrect! my setup sold, and it was in similare looking condition as yourse but more stock interior in decent condition just needed weather seals in the doors, new floor pans and rails sealed properly, strong compression motor, and with the supplies to do an R200 rear end swap and new carpets and matts to bring the interior to an almost new condition for 3200 dollars. also mine actually had paint on it lol, working doors and locks no dents or rust anywhere. and thats right, i had to settle for 3200 dollars.... the market blows boys, bad time to sell cars. great time to build them though.


also i hear horror stories on the 81 CAS setup...


and again, because some people take my honesty as dueschbaggery, i do repeat, i am not doing it to be a dick. its just my own interrogation method haha.

 

^^^ It's da twoof.

 

it took me almost a full minute to figure out what twoof was supposed to mean.... lol

 

i'm guessin you didn't watch much scooby-doo as a kid.

 

Rut row raggy! You need some pics of the engine bay if your going to ask that much money. As it sits without even the wheels it looks like a "think I'll pass" deal.

 

car sold about a week ago for the full $4500 cash heres a vid. damn! this was the only forum i didn't post the video on. im sure itl answer all your questions bro. its all good. im pretty sure if i was very interested in the car id ask da 21 question routine.

and NOPE definitely not my first sale or even close for that matter.. here's a pic of my DRIVEWAY a week ago. got my own personal NISSAN used car dealership if you ask me.


aaaaaand here's the video i for some strange reason missed putting on this website ENJOY im sure itl answer every 1 bit of your possible questions.

YouTube - 240z sold 5000obo

 

Good. That means it should be fairly easy to get $3k out of my 280zt.

 

oh definetly yes why wouldnt you.. STOCK 240Z's down here are slangin for 3k STOCK :P hahaha oh my bad.... one or two got air dams hahahaha.

 

down where?!?!?! and you def got lucky, im guessing the buyer was new to Z's say an S30 with a turbo swap and shat his pants. because after performing my own and selling a few Z's and such, i wouldn't have paid over 3.3k for that, and that was with the minor details i knew assuming everything else was perfect. but good for you! sometimes you just get lucky. i mean honestly. who the hell pays an ASKING price on a car? lol. i never would, not even at a dealership. i know my ways around car dealing

 

Everyone on Youtube seems to think $5,000 is cheap... that is, until they actually have money to spend on a car.

 

I don't get it... Superduner just sold a 240z, and is looking for another?

 

He also has a collection of about 7 cars but can't afford more than $500 for a 240Z

 

yuuuup that seems about right :P
that z was my cousins i just sold and got a few hundred for commission
hey if i can find one great right ?

 

yup, very good. You have some nice looking cars there too.
