Default The old switch-a-roo on Ebay

Check it..(Linky)

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...ht_9442wt_1129


This is the same car that was listed on Ebay under the "Nashvillemotorsports".
That auction ended with no bids and now a new place has it listed @ 25k..mm
I sent a few questions regarding the wheels and tires..no answer. If I remember this is the car that had the broken wheel stud and the tires were practically bald.

I think some shill bidding is going on hehe..

i would not recommend that car. I had my step-father go and test drive that car for me while he was in Nashville for business. He said the car is very loud in the inside probably due to a problem with the rear-end. The tires were very bald and would need to be replaced soon.

Personally, i prefer the rays rims that come regularly on the nismo

if you were to purchase this car, talk them WAY down on the price because i feel you would be needing to replace alot on the car son

There is NO way I would purchase this car..and frankly Im surprised the bidding has gotten that high. Thats why I think some of those bids are fake.

I looked at this car when it was listed under the Nashvillemotorsport ebay name..I asked a few questions..and got some answers that I knew were wrong. Someone on here knows the orig. owner and confirmed the tires were almost bald. NMS sent me close up pics of the wheels and it showed a broken stud on one of them.

Funny how you see the same cars week after week..not selling..This car was in Nashville..now its in Chicago..mmm..just a week after it didnt sell the first time..huh

I have seen this car on here by a owner a while back. But either way, that is a nice car other than the wheels/tires.

what about the noisy rear-end as reported above..and the sheared whell stud.
Not to mention the fact that it was in Nashville and now the car is in Chicago..

I have sent several emails..to the "new" seller and so far no reply. I would bet the bids that are offered currently for the car are fake, cuz no way that care is worth that..$$ with OUT the orig. wheels plus good tires and an '08 with that many miles on her ..mmm

thats way too much, its no a complete package.

You could be correct in that..but..still. The auction does not mention the bald tires. I actually have pics of the tires from the previous ebay lister..and they are pretty much bald, and would not pass inspection.

Noisy rear and sheer studded is all probably caused by the same thing. The wheels and tires. If a stud is missing the wheel is a little bit loose and will cause some noise.

EBay says the item location is in Chicago. I thought this was supposed to be in Nashville.
