DazBam350z Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Hope this isnt a re-post i did look through to see... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... _768wt_905 Didnt know JDM's came with mph clocks? Quote
Zugara Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Sounds to good to be true, I have just emailed the seller to ask a few questions, see what they come back with eh? Quote
martinmac Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Its got a UK plate, if it was imported in 2005 and has done nothing since how come the rear has been changed. Quote
DazBam350z Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 I sent him an email earlier asking about the clocks which alarmed me the most.. Quote
Walbertonio Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Well, if it has a full service history showing stamps all the way to it's mighty 600 miles then perhaps benefit of the doubt, including MOT certs, the works. It certainly ain't a GT though. Be interesting to hear what they have to say about what it's been doing for the last 8 years! Quote
spursmaddave Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 If it looks like a turd and smells like a turd, chances are.... it's a turd Quote
JetSet Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Suspicious lot aren't we . Hmm, not JDM but maybe from another RHD country, Australia, NZ, SA or something like that. What's that badge on the back, can't quite make it out. Pete Quote
DazBam350z Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 OK so i made the idiot move of sticking my number on the question form on eBay! So Graham phones me; the car was stolen on import along with another car and was kept in lock up over 5 years, he buys cars from insurance companies and after a settlement was done to the previous owner the car the cars were found by police and graham gets his hands on it. I was completely lost by this point as he had already shed out his years of experience within buying and selling imports and how his wife drives a 350z gt or was it an R33 skyline?? the story changed so many times he got himself mixed up! No V5 as there has been a mix up within DVLA and he is more than happy to take £500 deposit before iv seen the car as it will sell very quickly! Oh and i did ask about the JDM GT edition... Clocks were changed with clocks from nissan on arrival and as was the rear bumper to suite the new owner which from the story above didnt even get as it was had on arrival?!? Can you make any facts from this??? Quote
JetSet Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 Interesting. has a minor ring of truth about it, but why would someone steal a car then leave it for 5 years...insurance scam maybe. I'd want to know how did they steal the car, where from, what damage was done, where was it stored. Also, it's had a new speedo I reckon, true mileage could be anything.... Pete Quote
Zugara Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 well if you send me your number i will tell you why too long to right all the the best graham... - grahamautoworld2003 This was his reply to my ebay question...... Some unsuspecting person is gonna be stung..... Quote
Ricey Posted November 9, 2010 Posted November 9, 2010 The thing is.....who exactly is he expecting to call up on the basis of his advert??? I mean if I'm looking for a cat D or C car then I'll look for one. If I'm looking for a recovered stolen cheapie I'll look for one..........if I'm looking for a nice clean motor then I don't expect to read an advert that implies a car is clean as a whistle but has a back story that involves Memphis Raines Stealing it for a bloke named Raymond Colitri because he's going to kill his bother if he doesn't steal 50 cars in one night! What a chopper! Quote
DazBam350z Posted November 9, 2010 Author Posted November 9, 2010 haha very well said, its all just wayyy too dodgey! Off the topof my head arnt these type of cars on an x category? Stolen and not recovered because tecnicaly it hasnt been recovered to the correct owner and insurance has already payed, this would make sence for him not to have the v5... Quote
Ricey Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Maybe he's the one who stole it and kept it in storage for 5 years...........a considerate criminal Quote
sparky370z Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 i for one dont believe its done 600miles. well perhaps it has but its also done 60000 kilometres back in japan. as said before if it looks like a turd ect...... very dodgy in my eyes. steer well clear!!!!!!!! Quote
HaydnH Posted November 10, 2010 Posted November 10, 2010 Surely that's 600 miles since they changed the speedo etc? Quote
Androo Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 that smells more fishy than a hookers fart. Quote
