Count Grantleyish Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Scam for sure. $6,700 and no phone number and it's still on carsales... On another note, I wonder why scammers always ask around $7,000?

paulr33 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 re-birthed, writen off and repaired, repossed car, locked in finance, engine mangled with unknown reliablity, other unknown car faults etc there are many ways you can be suckered in so its your choice. once you pay the cash, guess where the contact goes to? disconnected number..... please don't do it its a load of crap no right person in their right mind would sell a reasonable ER34 for that price at worst you would put it at 11,000 and wait for people to call, $6700 is scam alarms specially sammers like to make up believable stories and rely on the human factor of caring and trick you into thinking it's genunie its the first way hackers break into networks etc, they use stupid human tactics to fool you and trick you Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/338993-does-anyone-know-this-skyline/#findComment-5476910 Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulr33 Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 there's so many wars to lure people in so just be careful. no one wants to fork over their hard earned cash for a nice appealing car to be ripped off if you want to check out some honest owners and cars for sale etc come to the monthly sau vic meetings and meet some local members at least you can talk to them and see their cars or ask if they know any friends one's for sale. also a good way to check prices and get advise before buying we meet monthly http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ge...ay-t336397.html Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/338993-does-anyone-know-this-skyline/#findComment-5476919 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downforce Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Dude, you can pickup stockish r34 gtt's with a few mods for as low as $14k now from legit sellers. The prices are plummeting hard. R34's are getting old now (10+ years) and people are desperately offloading them. There is no record of those plates currently being registered with vicroads either so it is very likely a dodgy sale.

As for NSW, check RTA site but only show up if it's registered or not from memory.

W0rp3D Posted October 3, 2010 Share Posted October 3, 2010 Maybe what she is saying is true tho you never know, you could be getting a bargain, if your willing to risk the time and money to come and have a look at it then i would reccomend having someone do a thorough check on it, that would show if its a lemon or a rebirth and also do the usual vic roads checks which will tell you if its stolen, under insurance or has a current defect notice on it, if all checks out then you may get a bargain, if not you have wasted probably around $500 and walk away empty handed.
