Darrel Posted July 20, 2007 Share #1 Posted July 20, 2007 considering what the passenger door hinge looks like, i wonder how much "surface" rust there is on the rest of the car. let alone what the undercoating might be covering up.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-Datsun-240Z-797_W0QQitemZ330148598459QQihZ014QQcategoryZ6187QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItemJust something to check before buying it at even the low buy it now price.

Tony D Posted July 20, 2007 Share #2 Posted July 20, 2007 "I am seeling this car is because my daughter is getting married in May 08."Man, I wonder what takes a year to plan for with only $2800? Maybe this guy has an inside track on an IPO or something and wants quick cash to invest for a phenomenal return---like Hillary Cattle Futures or something.

26th-Z Posted July 20, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 20, 2007 Immediate thought is that the car needs to be taken apart, body fix and paint job, and put back together. For around $16,000, I'll bet, one could just clean it up and put it back together and have it worth $20k. That's not a bad price at all. The crack-free dash is worth half.

Blue Meanie Posted July 20, 2007 Share #4 Posted July 20, 2007 I see what you mean about the hinge. Yikes! At least the guy was straight forward enough to pull up the carpets and show the floor. I bet those frame rails are gonna need some love too! $2,800 not that bad for a 700 project.Clinton cattle futures? That is too freakin funny! Maybe Martha Stewart's got a hot tip?

Tony D Posted July 20, 2007 Share #5 Posted July 20, 2007 Yeah, gotta wonder why he needs that sum now and is using it as justification for the sale. Any old port in the storm, eh? "I need it now, to give the money time to grow' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeW Posted July 20, 2007 Share #6 Posted July 20, 2007 Just something to check before buying it at even the low buy it now price.Someone just bought it using the buy it now price ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e_racer1999 Posted July 20, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 20, 2007 that is actually a pretty good deal, if i say so myself.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonetreesteve Posted July 21, 2007 Share #8 Posted July 21, 2007 Someone just bought it using the buy it now price ...Obviously an inexperienced Ebay seller. He shouldn't have had such a low BIN price for a 3-digit Series One car. I agree with Jason, the buyer got a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdefabri Posted July 22, 2007 Share #9 Posted July 22, 2007 Definitely limited eBay experience...he should have set the reserve at 3K and let it run up. It's amazing how many buyers and sellers don't get the dynamic of auctions.It appeared to be a good deal from my perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenZZZ Posted July 22, 2007 Share #10 Posted July 22, 2007 The buyer may of figured that out. We may see it relisted that way in a few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
