Fella's,

I do appreaciate the "appraisal" I will be selling the Z, but it may be a few weeks now so I can tackle some of the issues you guys brought up....believe me I would have never considered some of those, so thanks again for all the help.

Although, the more I think about it the more my brain keeps saying..."keep it, it will only keep going up in value".

If only I had that 6 car garage........I have 4 in a three car and it makes for a tight fit. (Plus my wife hasn't parked inside for 5 months)

Take care,

Randy

Hey Randy,

Here's a good example of "truth in advertising" although I wouldn't word your car's ad quite the same way....

That has to be the funniest ad I've ever seen on ebay. I'm still laughing! Zup, no offense intended, but you must not know Randy Jaffe very well. No way, he would cut a hole in a door panel or put on a dash cover. I'm sure Carl is laughing about that one too!

Bob

Xray,

Thanks for the link, it started my day off with a laugh.

Maybe I should say in my ad that the my luggage straps are the rare invisible ones.

Bobc,

You are correct, this car's previous owner (and the car for that matter) are both from Texas, and the car has always been 918 Orange, never Yellow. It has one repaint that I had done almost two years ago.

I just ran across your ad, looks good. I wish you luck in selling it. Too bad I didnt see it before I got ripped off on mine

Thanks MEZZZ

I'm hoping I haven't left anything out. Sorry to hear about your experience, hope everything works out.

That is a well written ad with the pics I would want to see. Well thought out Randy. Good luck selling her! Tupee?

Thanks, everything will work out in the long run. Thers nothing wrong with the car that a couple hundred hours labor and $5000 wont fix

Good luck, it looks good.

Very nice ad. I'd buy it if I could, but don't have space for two Z's

Great Ad - - - - I always believe that a BIN should be placed on items like this. The BIN lets potential buyers at least know the price range you are expecting the car to sell in. That can be accompanied by a note in the description saying "the reserve is set at a very reasonable level for a 240-Z of this quality"...

OK - all that said - if it doesn't sell - don't be discouraged. It simply means that you put it on auction the week that no serious buyer was looking. Wait a week or two and put it back on E-Bay. There will be 150 lookers... for each potential buyer.... and there will be one or two serious buyers among the potential buyers.... You just have to have the luck of the draw...

good luck,

Carl B.

Great ad, couldn't access the additional pics though.
