300zx parts trading 2012
Baz, i was as you are, and could be labled a secret breaker too really, but i totally understand how it happens that ends up with it being broke for spares. Look at the Red zed i had. It went to zedworld after i spent the winter working on it to not be able to start it. Zedworld got it running, but even then it wasn't worth fixing as the "new" engine was knackered. Vodkashots then bought it from me as he didn't want to see it broke. Even he gave in in the end and broke it.. The zed, with its low value, is always going to to get to a point where its not worth fixing. You, like I, just found out with a few the hard way!!

I suppose anybody breaking a zed are probably just recouping cost as Zx-tt says. Maybe anybody breaking a second zed or more should be looked into. It shouldn't be a problem if somebody wanted to break them for profit, but as Jeff says pays sellers fee, traders fees etc

I dont really know what the answer is to be honest. People will always break them if they cant/cant afford to get them fixed as they are worthless as cars. I agree that people that buy them to break for a quick quid should pay traders fees on here. As for prices, i guess people will assume you will be more expensive being a trader, so advertising your prices might make people think twice about buying form unkown places. Other suggestion, any breaker thread that comes up, offer to buy the car from them at a price that makes you money and gets a quick sale to the person breaking it. That way, less people are breaking them, and you'll have all the parts!

I think this is the problem with aftermarket filters. Not really sure of the way round it. If you make something to block the water, youd be blocking the air too.
