FS: 370z salvage title black 6mt sport

hmmm this has me thinking now

It's a great idea RReign. And you can build the motor to some serious power.

rreign · 06-23-2010, 11:09 AM

I have been back and forth in my head about 100 times trying to decide on spending the money on a Z or spending the money on a Supra. I was pretty set on the Supra MKIV but now that I see this car for this price, I am having second thoughts.

FuszNissan · 06-23-2010, 11:19 AM

It's a good project car. You are saving about 10-12K

rreign · 06-23-2010, 11:21 AM

I'm gonna give it some thought. I know I'm taking a chance because it may not be here later, but I gotta think about it. I'll get back with you soon though

FuszNissan · 06-23-2010, 11:23 AM

Also you would be spending at least 24k on a supra and then adding work, this would still come out cheaper.

rreign, sent you a PM

rAiN · 06-23-2010, 12:30 PM

Insurance companies don't total cars (salvage) for $3K worth of replacement parts...Think about it.

this man has a point

travisjb · 06-23-2010, 04:27 PM

you're already grumpy!

standby and I'll get a more detailed response from the seller about the list of what's wrong / was wrong... I know that the engine wiring harness is being replaced above / beyond the initial list of damage that was repaired and my guess would be that the damaged engine wiring harness was the rationale for the insurance company declaring it "a total loss"... I can tell you from experience that getting that part is not cheap and not easy - I replaced the main harness on my car... In any event, the wiring harness is being fixed now

But standby and I'll get input from the seller to resolve the concern that Modshack brings up

RAIN, as for frame damage, I asked that question directly and was told there is zero frame damage - frame is factory spec... any buyer will want to verify all these things through inspection

travisjb · 06-23-2010, 06:29 PM

I never said the insurance company totaled it for $3K of replacement parts, Modshack is making an assumption there... and as I explained in post #22, the engine wiring harness was damaged and is being repaired... my guess is that is why the insurance company didn't want to mess with the car... getting one of those harnesses - I know from personal experience - can take 3 months to order from Nissan, and costs nearly $2K for just the part

travisjb · 06-23-2010, 08:30 PM

update from seller:

"It needs an ecu (which I just ordered) the wiring harness so that the lights and a/c will work. the part of the wiring harness for the engine is just fine. Needs a drivers side inner tie rod end a condensor and a radiator. Other than that a detail and its a perfect street car. No frame damage!"

So, need a buyer!

FuszNissan · 06-23-2010, 08:59 PM

I never want to order another wiring harness again

travisjb · 06-23-2010, 09:27 PM

haha, yeah that was not fun!
