seriously thinking about a bid on this car...

I just sent a question to the seller to make sure the car is in southern california. Any reason why I shouldn't toss a bid on the table? Anyone here on the board competing for it? Any opinions on what it's really worth?

*edit* Oh well, outbid before I even started =)

I see the front end of this car has been painted.

Many of these cars received repaint after arriving at the port here in US.

But this paint seems little more recent job than that. Also, it might have 210K miles rather than 110K miles by looking at its engine bay.

I would definately go and look at the car before bidding since you are in San Diego, or contact this guy for on site vehicle inspection at 310-308-6745 Yasu/Auto Inspector (www.autoinspector.org)

By the way, I am also a professional vehicle certifier and inspector.

Definitely good to know that you're in the bidniss of looking over vehicles, I'll keep that handy

I don't need this ezzakt car, even if I could have put in a competitive bid the car is sure to get beyond what i can safely pay out before it's over, and I'm doing my best to exercise the patience in shopping for my z that all our forum members are assuring me will pay off :classic:
