scooby_doo_do Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Just inquired about a 350z for sale in autotrader...Thought it was really cheap at £12300... Just had an email back saying,, "Hi there, the Nissan 350Z is still available for the price of £12300. I have just moved to Greece because my wife is Greek and she got a very good job offer here. The car is here with us as well. I am selling it because I cannot manage with the right-hand drive here. You should also know that it is still registered in the UK.

scooby_doo_do Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 got another reply.... hehehe.... "Hi Craig, if we come to an agreement the car will be delivered directly to your home address and the cost for that and for the insurance will be included in the initial sale price. The car will be shipped by truck and that will take about 6 days. I suggest that we close this deal using the security provided by Square Trade on such transactions. It works great and it is safe and really fast. About the payment procedures I will notify Square Trade and they will contact you shortly to let you know their terms. Please get back to me as soon as possible and let me know if you agree with that or not." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted August 1, 2005 Author Share Posted August 1, 2005 I just asked him if the 350 has fluffy dice installed as standard and if it would make the car go faster :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afreemason Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Unless he was reving the nuts off a couple, and I don't remember him doing that ...... he was too p155ed to notice the difference between the Twin turbo and standard zeds ........ has anyone actually checked his Supe to make sure he know what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted August 2, 2005 Share Posted August 2, 2005 Why don't you contact the seller? Ask for the phone number to call him in Greece, it's not a big deal. It should start with "0030" I think Then ask for pictures of the car from over there. If they are non-responsive, you know there's something wrong.
