Default Fair business practice???

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=6392

I have a porblem with this kind of stuff. In the header the guy says that it's a performance edition but if you look at the pics you'll see a few things are wrong.

So I emailed the guy and said that the Performance had 18" and asked about the HIDs and TCS. In businessman fashion I get the following reply about it being a base, but that the base model is a true performer..... I just hope the bidders know better. =(

That's terrible. I hope those bidders come here before they actually buy. At least then, they'll really know what they're buying.

woah!! lol. Good job. I do think it's bad practice, but by using Edition instead of Model I don't think there are any legal issues that one can bring up against him. Very **** poor though.

unless Nissan uses edition??

seller doesnt get us anywhere, but the buyer might. I sent this to the top bidder.

I see your the high bidder on the 350Z, Im sure others have contacted you already, but be aware that the Z you are bidding on is a base model, I think the ad is misleading calling it a performance EDITION. After contacting the seller about this, he responded that the base is a true performer.

just want to make you aware of the caliber of seller that you are dealing with.

I hope I have not offended you in any way, just hate to see someone that is serious about purchasing a Z get suckered into paying 26000$ for a used car that stickers for 26,200.

if you have any questions I recomend www.my350Z.com you can find me on there as Ares and you'll find that a new base model for MSRP is not impossible to find if you know where to look.

if anyone sees someone else bid higher, please send this to them, hopefully they will atleast be informed. as for right now, its still a grand under MSRP, but that is alot for a used car.
