JSM Posted July 21, 2019 Share #61 Posted July 21, 2019 Odd to see a fram oil filter on a 350 mile car? Did he just change oil from time to time over the years? Do you mind sharing what you paid? 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580015 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say that if the car did have 100,350 miles I'd still make a nice profit Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580019 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted July 21, 2019 Share #63 Posted July 21, 2019 If you paid less than 30k you got a very good deal. I would sell it right now if it were me. The market is extremely hot and if the economy slows down, values will fall. Turn it into cash and shop for a really clean S30 of your choice. It wouldn't surprise me at all if you could sell the car for 50-60k in the current environment and the right platform. That is a unicorn... 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580020 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ensys Posted July 21, 2019 Share #65 Posted July 21, 2019 All: Well, this new first-hand evidence is certainly a compelling demonstration of the pitfalls of visuals over the web. The first fotos lead me astray regarding the actual hue of the blue, I reckon (tho the jury may still be out regarding the undercarriage...). So maybe it wasn't Col. Mustard in the Library with the lead pipe after all. However, I will reserve a final bark up this tree until after the car's first good wash, over and under. Still, spot on or off the mark, the exercise was an interesting diversion from the same old, same old. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted July 21, 2019 Share #66 Posted July 21, 2019 Wow. Well done. I absolutely cannot understand the reasoning behind the whole situation, but it sure does look like that could very well be a 350 mile car. So where / how did you find the car? Craigslist? Word of mouth? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunodoggy Posted July 21, 2019 Author Share #67 Posted July 21, 2019 ensys, I totally appreciate your critical take on this car. This car should not exist. I almost don't believe it and I can see the car in person! 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580026 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word of mouth? my FIL had a 300ZX AE that had been parked since 1992. About 3 years ago I pulled it out and got it running. Seeing it, my friend said "I have a neighbor that has a Z with no miles but he's not interested in selling". Last week my friend was talking to his neighbor who said he was ready to sell his car. The rest is history 2 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580028 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Obvious Posted July 21, 2019 Share #70 Posted July 21, 2019 Wow. I need to talk to my neighbors more. Very well done. And I agree with some of the sentiment above... If you have any doubt at all that you're just going to drive it, then I wouldn't even clean it. I would leave it just the way it is and contact BAT. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580030 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patcon Posted July 21, 2019 Share #71 Posted July 21, 2019 The barn find dirt actually seems to help the value on BaT. Cleaning it might make it bring less money. Sort of like restoring antique furniture. No harm in making a call if you think you might sell it. 1 Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/62501-brand-new-280z/?page=6#findComment-580061 Share on other sites More sharing options...
