Wonder what's wrong with it really ?

Still a good price if its just the box....

Saw this last nite seams bmw make the 300 zx

SnowyGT old zed iirc.

if you look at the side view it looks as the sills are about to drop off it.still an ok price though:)

agreed, does look rather rusty on that rear sill area, wonder what other issues the car has.

 

Gearbox issue could just be a fuse......:whistling:

So that's where my bin went! Friggin big those like! lol

I like how he puts that hes far too busy.........

Doing what, because he obviously been too busy to learn english.

Didn't notice that bit. Could be a cheap fix but equally could be a right PITA to put right.

lol, i thought that too..... also too busy to put it in a readable font and make some effort with the sale pitch.....:gun_bandana:

Worth buying to break.:scooter:

is that the actual colour of it? its filthy dirty and those exausts.... yuk

glad i read this thread, was about too push the buy it now button.

So just as a matter of interest does anybody actually know the guy who's selling this zed?

 

or does anybody know the car particularly well?

 

 

I was just wondering, 'cos it seems a bit harsh for the guys for sale advert to get trashed on the grounds that it may not be listed on ebay particularly well, or he hasn't had time to wash it yet or if English is not his first language etc.

 

surely this forum is where a lot of potential zed buyers come looking for advice first.....and will no doubt see this (and several other trashed ebay for sale threads) and will most likely walk away.....possibly unjustifiably

 

 

if the seller is known to be a dodgy scamming fooker' and if this zed is a known pile of junk then fair enough, but if that's not the case then why the negativity?

 

It's not a bad price surely.

Sorry bud, but im sure when buying a car, especially from the comfort of your armchair at home, you would want as much information as possible before purchasing it, after all its not like most can go and take a look, and although "Pictures are a thousand words" not in the case of buying a car they are not.

 

Putting up a bit more information about it, rather than letting people go "oh hang about, the sill is almost falling off" it just stinks of lies about the car, im sure 10 extra minutes of information about said vehicle, wouldn't of eaten into his busy life style to much.

 

The car on the whole going by the pictures, looks indeed a good buy, but then factor in its DEFIANLTY going to need the sills doing yet no mention of this in the add and your looking to be very disappointed if you had indeed pressed the "Buy it now" button.

 

Had a newbie come onto the forum and seen the zed on the post, but no one had said anything about the rusty sills, then processed to buy the vehicle with the buy it now button, im sure we would all be bashing the seller for not saying about it in the add.

 

Considering the guy has already said "im very busy" hes may not take the time out to show people the car. and even then newbies may not note to look at the rear sills as a potential rusty area (given the fact thats one of the spots any potential buyer should be paying attention too)

 

No defence for a crappy advert regardless of the car, unless you're seriously trying to hide something from buyers in the advert. (also not many have bashed the car, most have said it doesnt look bad)

i thought it was a good price, been looking for another 300 as i miss my old one, anyone any idea on the gearbox fault? if i remember rightly they are controlled by there own ECU could this be the problem or is it more likely to be the gearbox itself?

Could be a number of problems, first port of call though would be the fuse, then get a consults on it, but i have a spare autobox anyway if it needed replacing, id be more worried about the rust it looks to have.

I get all of the above and yes the comments on this zed with regards to price are pretty positive but to be honest it's not the reaction to this particular advert that's winding me up, it's the countless other zed ebay adverts by people trying to sell their cars (which is hard enough in the current economical climate as it is) who have their car/advert/grammer/spelling/tastes torn to shreds by forum members who quite clearly have no intention of doing anything other than ripping the piss out of someone else's for sale advert.

 

If the car that's for sale is some multi coloured, patchwork quilt of a Lada estate then ok, but it just seems to me that for whatever reason, it's generally considered open season on ebay adverts selling zeds....why, I don't get it?

 

If people aren't looking to buy, then why slate the advert on an open forum

 

 

and again, I'm not necessarily talking about this particular zed, I don't know the guy or the car so can't comment on its condition etc

 

I've listed kit on ebay using my Blackberry before now and the ad has been pretty shocking, maybe this is similar??

 

 

Not meaning to have a rant, I just think it would be a nicer forum if people stopped taking the piss out of the spelling and grammer in people ebay adverts, especially if the person in question is/was a fellow zed owner

 

 

just my 2p worth

Well for your 2p worth why the eff has he said the manufacturer is BMW ?

 

That's why I put the put the post up in the first place

just my 2p worth

 

To be honest, i cant recall ever taking the p out of someones spelling or grammar, i suffer from dyslexia and if it wasn't for the google spell check my posts would most likely be unreadable lol

 

People take the p on a lot of eBay adds, we just notice it more to do with the 300zx as thats the forum we are.

 

I understand people picking apart the advert if they are advertising a 300zx with 500 BHP but the dyno sheet they supply with the advert states its only capable of just under 400, Ala... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/500-BHP-NISSAN-300-ZX-TWIN-TURBO-MANUAL-BARGAIN-/160696209680?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item256a3d9110 (i actually like it to be honest :))

 

Although we own 300zx's, just seems that most people who want to sell one on ebay have to try and lie about what it does, what it can do, what its got and do not give a genuine description as to the car its self.

 

Take mine for instance, listed with "HKS Super drager exhaust" (had a japspeed one instead), no mention of engine issues (wasn't firing on cylinder 6), and no mention of smoking from the rear tail pipes (both turbos were shot and i emptied 1/2 a liter of oil from the FMIC), no mention of rust, and no mention of dodgy wiring (wing mirrors)

 

It was listed with the sole intent to mislead the buyer into purchasing it. for that i think they deserve it. sorry but if they are willing to try lying about the item they are selling, why should i we go easy on them just because they are selling a 300zx?

 

Id rather someone knew the full story on the car, the things that need addressing or possibly need sorting out in the future. i do agree with the spelling and grammar comments though, not every one can use the queens English.

 

The other thing, we are a discussion forum, there are plenty of posts where someone mentions that a car on eBay looks awesome blah blah, don't focus on the negative, we comment on cars on eBay as sometimes we have no idea who owns it, and its the first time we have seen it. just because someones opinion doesnt paint a happy picture, doesnt mean it should put people off from buying it.

 

Its the same as modding your car and posting up images.

 

Take me for instance. i put a reply to someone asking about carbon fiber bonnets, i listed the bonnet im getting, and a few people tried to rip into it, i really don't care, its my car ill do what i like to it, if someone else doesnt like it, oh well, no skin off my nose lol

Maybe I am just having a rant then without even realising it. To me it's just the same as when you post a for sale thread and find that the majority of posts consist of 'I don't like that etc'....completely pointless.

 

I agree that misleading adverts and dodgy dealers need exposing and sorting out (after all I've been stung twice myself) but at the same time if a guy has done nothing wrong apart from listing a poor ad or supplying very little info then certain comments can be a bit harsh.

 

I hope that if this zed turns out to be a good'en then some new zed owner will have many happy years with it

in all fairness, the car its self doesnt look to bad, needs a wash and a clean, and the welding done, but for the price you cant really complain, you could split it and get your cash back easy on it.

 

As for the exhausts, well mine are 6" exits so not to far off lol

 

Id be more concerned as to what the white residue is on the inside of the passenger side tail pipe.
