Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
I can't remember which car you bought. Was it a Ebay car ? Item # ? Sorry it didn't work out. Have you contacted the seller ?

Car looked nice in pics, and with the way prices are going on 2ND Gen Camaros right now the things that need fixed are probably worth doing. Of course I have not seen it in person so the paint problems he noted may be troublesome and finding a smog system may take some hunting...CAN I HAVE IT! |
Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
Sorry 'bout that! I bought the Daytona Yellow 70 RS/Z28 that was originally listed on Ebay(bought it "off" Ebay however). It got alot of buzz a month ago in the "For Sale" forum.
Yes I have contacted the seller and he offered to help me out to find a new home for her by giving me contact info on other interested parties. So far though.......... nothing yet. Only been a couple of days though, and weekend and all. I just hope he doesn't mistake my good nature as a sign of weakness. He did seem genuinely concerned that I was upset. Time will tell though. Keep you posted. I guess I was stupid to assume that if you pay 42K for a car at least the radio should work and the drivers door should close properly. |
Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
Radios can be fixed for a couple of hundred bucks to work good as new...and the door closing properly can be as easy as new weatherstripping or latch adjustment (or not!)
The important thing is do you like the car? If you already have really bad feelings about it...get rid of it. Otherwise, fix the small stuff that's wrong with it and have a ton of fun with it. I must say that the car looks really nice https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif |
Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
Did you win the auction on Ebay ? Have you left him feedback ? Can you post the Ebay item # ?

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
If you're serious, BARN FIND, send me a PM with your offer. Keep in mind though that I'm not just giving it away. It'll go to the offer closest to the one in my head. I'm already eating the costs I have put out to ship it, insurance, importing(broker fees), Canadian tax, etc. I can't take a complete bath on it, alright?

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
Not to be a party pooper but...GRUSUM are you related to the Bain that these guys all have issues with?

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
I'm not familiar with that at all. All my relatives are up here in Canada and none are car enthusiasts. So the answer is definitely no. I'm curious now though, What's the beef. Should I hunt him down for giving my family a bad name or what?

Re: Needing reassurance on purchase
A quote from the auction "THIS 70 Z/28 HAS JUST COME OUT OF MANY YEARS OF STORAGE, IT WAS RESTORED SOME TIME AGO, THE CAR IS NOT A TOP SHOW CAR, BUT IS A DRIVER / LOCAL CRUISER. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE IT VERY CLEAR FROM THE START,
I WILL DESCRIBE THIS CAR WITHOUT TYPING FOR DAYS AND WOULD LIKE A PROSPECTIVE BUYER TO INSPECT OR HIRE AN INSPECTION COMPANY TO EVALUATE THIS CAR PRIOR TO BIDDING. THIS Z/28 IS 35 + YEARS OLD AND I DO NOT KNOW THE CARS ENTIRE HISTORY. HERE IN THE NORTH EAST THE ROADS ARE NOT SATISFACTORY AT THIS TIME “SALT AND ICE”. SO WE HAVE ONLY TEST DROVE THIS CAR AROUND OUR FACILITY." |
