Ummm...your next post better begin with "so, when I got the Z home last night..."

Given the degree of restoration, I would pay 12k CAN for that car. Heck, the more I think about it and the description of the amount of effort that got it there, it may even be a "bargain."

Best of luck!

He is still trying to make up his mind on your offer or waiting for a better offer. I usually find that the people with money are the hardest to bargain with thats why they have money. Good luck by the way what is the reserve price?

he called back to say he's changed his mind and going to wait for the auction to end first. he's got 4 or 5 interested parties if he sends them pictures.( shoulda made the deal yesterday- snose you lose)well gotta hope nobody bids and i'm still in the game i hope.so none of u peckerheads bid on it.

Did you get it????

no, didn't get it> :stupid: someone from ireland bid with 35 minutes left.i called the owner after to let him know i was still interested if the deal didn't go through(dead beat bidder or nigerian scam). he says the guy from ireland is a nissan dealer so it sounds legit.sblakely wondered why i didn't pay on the spot and drive away-i only went to look to see if the zed was worth $12000 starting bid.i was caught off guard when the owner said he was open to offers.it was saturday(banks closed) and i wasn't prepared to deal that day.went home and thought it over, called to agree to his price but had to leave a message on his machine.next day he changed his mind and wanted to let the auction run out first.well live and learn.i see one near cincinati (mason)for $5900 asking(72).has 83000 orig miles.only 5 or 6 hour drive.iwhen i get time i think i'll go look at it.anyone know this zed?
