The long drive home

Post by **evildky** » Sun Jan 18, 2015 5:51 pm

So I'm flying to Daytona FL tomorrow to pickup my newest Z car allowing me to profess that I have owned at least one of each of the first 5 generations of Z cars, adding to my current 71 240Z and 87 Z31. Then I get to make the 842 mile drive home. It's an 04 Touring edition with 109k on the clock, hopefully this is a trouble free experience and not a horror story that unfolds as I seek help in the middle of XX state. Pic's to follow

Hope everything goes fine for your trip home. Check your fluids at each stop.

I always ask the previous owner if they would drive the car cross country as it sits before making an offer. Their answers are always interesting. And if after an inspection you wouldn't agree, you have to determine if you have a case of deception, ignorance or stupidity.

Drove my Series I home 1100 miles with frozen struts, rock hard tires, 4 quarts of oil and no check valve in the power brake supply line. Built my confidence in the car's ability to get me home. Simplicity rules.

Car was not as expected. Looks like someone visually impaired child rattle annex the redline z with some metalica red. I refused to accept the car just trying to get home now.

Aw, man. Sorry to hear about that. Driving or flying home?

Ugh, that's just horrible. You had to pay for 2 plane tickets just to not buy a car. All because someone was not honest with their car listing.

Wow. That is appalling. Sadly not entirely uncommon I guess.

Finally managed to get a refund via paypal today. Anyone in or around Memphis wanna look at a car so I don't waste another trip?

Sucks to waste all that time and energy on something that is not what it should be...
