what can i say

[Rob Gaskin]

...... I offered the top end of what I think the car is worth and that didn't buy the car......

So why don't you bid that amount?

 

[SeanDezart]

'cos the bidding has already gone past his value ?

 

[johnymd]

Well spotted Sean.

 

[richiep]

Over 5k now with 8 days to go...

I could easily imagine Sean's speculation coming true. I could also imagine a risk of it ending up listed again if the buyer is a non-viewer (a frequent occurrence on eBay). We will see...

 

[johnymd]

I had suggested to the seller that he may well get messed around with the way the bindings going. Or it will get relisted with the owner count going up to 3.

With keeper number three taking a hit when they can't move it on for what they paid for it...

 

[Rob Gaskin]

8 days left - it'll go above that. May I speculate at £8-9k ?

Currently £8650.

 

[tel240z]

Currently £8650.

£9500 its all in the steering wheel position

 

[johnymd]

Someone's not looked at this car!,

 

[tel240z]

FFS need to list the blue one soon

 

[johnymd]

Very interesting. So what's a 240 in this condition worth?

 

[johnymd]

Glad I now own 4 240z's. shame they are not all 260's.

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Wow !!!!

£12k

 

[tel240z]

Wow !!!!

£12k

excellent

 

[Rob Gaskin]

I can only assume that's it's a 'green' bidder who thinks panels are readily available.

If not they know something I don't (possible of course ).

Terry - your blue car is a very saleable car.

 

[johnymd]

Just shows how little I know about the value of 260z's.

If you disregard the rust and holes where rust once was, this was a nice car. Nice enough for me to offer top money for a car that had zero profit in it after repairing and repainting. This was because mechanically it was great, only had a couple of owners, and low mileage. I considered I could do a lot of the repair work and get it reprinted for maybe 6-7k and have a great daily driver. I'm guessing the person who has bought this really wants this type of car and is not concerned how much it costs so they have bought themselves what will be a rare great car and good luck to them. It's not all about money.

 

[johnymd]

Anyone here bought it?

 

[Rob Gaskin]

........ It's not all about money.

I hope so, however I've had a few calls lately from people who want to buy a Z and generally they know very little about the cars but they do have money.

 

[johnymd]

And what type of car are they after? What questions do they ask?

Why would there be zero 'profit' in it?
