Can't bloody stand that guy!

If it's driveable, even better. :)

Because I can't pick it up during the week. ;)

I can get him cash and I'm free tomorrow. :)

Ah, on my phone I couldn't see that. Still, for a grand I'd have plenty left to sort that out.

Where's anything been said about body or paint? Have I missed something? Engine work I can do.

All over this like a tramp with hot chips. :)

Just found out I get free breakdown recovery from anywhere in the UK! :D

Is it driveable, or would it have to be trailered?

Very very very very interested! What's up with it? What condition is the rest of the car? Any rust anywhere? What mods does it have?

I may be wrong, but think that's when Nissan dropped the vct and climate control, and whatever else.

Just tried emailing you, but it says your email is unavailable?

I can't pm you since I'm not a paid member yet. If you'd rather not go into it on here, can I find you on Facebook or something?

I might be skint, but I'm still generous. :)

A WHOLE Mars bar too, he only said it was worth half. ;)

These, not there. Predictive text, and I can't edit my posts for some reason. :D

Ian was kind enough to take me out in this car last week, and it's a lovely car. It showed me how nice there cars can be, and helped me make my mind up that I'd like a zed. Beautiful car. Also, he's not lying about the drive, I turned up while it was getting done. :)

Worth a try, I'd happily give him four peanuts and a Mars bar. Hell, I'd even throw in a Twix. :)

Is it something I'd be able to put back together?

And knowing my luck, people will start bumping the prices even more for those few days of summer just because the roof panels come out. :(

I do have space on the drive, a garage full of tools, consult, timing gun, spare hicas parts, would only be a weekend car anyway, etc, so like I say if it needed work then I'd likely have no real issue doing it, provided it's not bodywork. I'm not confident about buying a car without seeing it either, but an inspection and insurance is included in the price. If it was bad, I could break it for parts and make my money back anyway.

It's 1200, and yes, 2300 landed. And I'm very competent at fixing cars, I'm well known in the skyline community, and have fixed my fair share of them, most with issues that traders couldn't figure out. So there's a chance I'd be competent enough to maintain one of these, given their engine management is so similar to what I'm already used to, well versed in fixing hicas issues, etc.

Not knocking the guy, if he can make his money then good on him. But I can't afford that much of a hike in price.

Have you seen the size of his house? The car I've seen is spotless in pictures, and from the description everything works. If that's true, and I can import it for about 3k, yet he'd want 5k for a car of the same condition, that's a 40% mark up. So yes, that's a profit.

I don't even mind ones with a few issues, so long as I'm not spending loads on parts. I can do all the work myself anyway, other than bodywork repairs and paint which I can't do or afford.
