[viator]

[Owgasm]

Therefore, its fake.

Try e-mailing him/her through the advert.

[11toes]

it's fake

it uses an old scam where you respond through the clasified email - they respond with this:

Hello and sorry for the delay,

First of all I want to thank you for the interest that you have shown for my car. The 1999 NISSAN SKYLINE R34 25GT-T is in excellent condition and was not involved in any car accidents and it has always been garaged . The car is registered , has a CLEAR and CLEAN TITLE and you will not have any problems to register the car in your name. If you are interested in buying it, the price i am looking for is $8500 AUD. I know that this is a low price for such a good car, but I need to pay some debts at the bank and I decided to sell my car. I hope that you will agree with my price and there will not be any argues regarding my price. I would like to complete this transaction asap, cause I need to pay the debts at the bank and I don't have so much time at my disposal. If you have any other questions, please reply me.

The car has 52000 Km ,reg number 828KKQ ,expires in FEB 2008 comes with rwc.

Hello and sorry again for the late response

Thank you for your reply. At this moment I'm in London, UK, where I am looking to buy a house because I will leave Australia to UK definitely.. I have already sold my house and I need to come back in Australia to give the house and the papers of the house to the buyer , and I need to sell the car until then . But I have told to the buyer of the house that I will not come back in Australia, until I have a serious buyer for the car. I had some discussions with BidPay.com and they told me that they can help me and you to finalize this transaction fast and safe. If you are interested to have more details from BidPay about how we can finalize this transaction, please send me full name and address so BidPay can run a backround report about your identity . Please reply me and give me the details that I asked.

VIN: 6U90000ER34023348

Rego: 828KKQ until Feb 2008

Engine : RB25329399A

then u respond - then i wait because they haven't responded yet.. i want to see how far i can take them.. although the same scam has been happening on ebay / carpoint / carsales / etc - this particular one i got from carpoint - but i'm sure a lot of people have seen the GTR for $9k on carsales..

[madbung]

Shit so you mean they're not really going to transport it directly to my door like they said?

Damn I thought delivery was taking awhile.

its fantastic.... engine has heaps of torque, turbo's can take up to about 16psi (mine are currently on 12psi), the AYC grips like crazy, and the factory recaro's make it a very comfortable, quick cruiser.

all i've done is fit a set of coilovers, and uped the boost to 12psi, and it should run 13's.

[wessa02]

send the plates into the cops on the suspision that it maybe involved with an interent scam and give them the link to the sale thread

[Hotr34]

On the coast there is a yellow GTR 34 with 60,000km on it for $60,000 2001. Very nice car even took it for a drive, should sell very quick. I have pics aswell.

[Col-GTSX]

"Arhh the old banana in the telephone trick" 86 says

Yeah ive heard of this happening before, was told about a CLS55 AMG with 40,000kms on the clock going for 50k...

Looked into it to find out it was a scam, but as they say anything that sounds too good to be true usually is

Im not sure what this post is in reference too, but if you suggesting thats cheap then you should have a look at the auction websites in Japan.

R34 GTR's are going from 35k now FOB pre-compliance, pre-ship... So add less than 10k for the rest and you got an R34 GTR...

There are also 2 x R34 GTR's for sale here on the forum for less than 50k...

[skyline_chick88]

i saw this 34 and i got the same response. as soon as i reply back saying this is dodgy i never heard anything back

[666DAN]

Yeah like that M3 up the sunny coast that was advertised for a stupidly cheap price....oh wait that wasn't a scam just an awesome deal that a certain SAU member picked up!!!1 Bastard!!!!

[Turbo Tim]

Yeah its an old trick.

The plates of the car aren't going to help you either as its likely they have flogged the images from elsewhere on the internet.

[markimak]

yeh ironchef imports the owner had his supra done like thsi. some dude on carsales and ebay advertised his supra and tryed to scam..

[Spook's_Skyline]

man, ive been eyeing off the legnum that was for sale in marooka for a while

hottest wagon evar (yes, even hawter than a stagea)

its sold i guess, coz it cruised past me the other day, sweet looking vehicle

[Simmo1985]

I just found out a chick from our work (different office - she's from our NSW office) got scammed on a 2006 WRX that was advertised for about $9,000 in Darwin. Pretty much same scam as discussed here. Silly girl.

[TTT]

Nothing to do with this thread but all this talk about the Legnum..

I've been looking at them recently but can't see any Manual ones.

Mitchy - is your the tiptronic one?

they are still 5 speed auto/tiptronic aren't they?

does it feel like a slushomatic?

they weigh around the 1500kg right?

how tight is the engine bay? 300zx tight?

how easy would it be to replace turbos or the rear 3 spark plugs for example?
