1971 Datsun 510 SR20

[e30prodigy]

once a price tag like that goes on a car on this forum youre basically kicking the door open for critizim.

most people should just carry on unless they're interested in purchasing.
leaving know it all comments or what not usually doesnt help get the car to a new home.
taking jabs at the OP just opens another can of sh!t that wont help anything.

but there is some advice being thrown your way that in fact will help sell your car:

30k is a chunk of change and almost anyone putting that money toward almost any item will want to be very very well informed. show the value of the vehicle and show how your price is actually a deal.

your 510 seems like a well put together car, the swap looks like it was done correctly, the picture of the interior can scare some people off, everything else has basically been done to taste and if someone wants to change it thats something to consider once purchased, the car needs some things to be sorted out but over all not bad.

sort out what you can without dumping funds into the car, show the rear seat, switch the buckets, clean detail, take it to the nicest spots in your area snap some professional photographer inspired pictures and repost it.

25-30k ASKING price doesnt seem like a bad start, you know what you have in the car and what it will take for you to let it go. BAT or Ebay may be your best bet if you want to move the car asap if not keep trying forums JNC is a good spot to get on as well since its catered to older jap cars.

as for everyone else, stop the bashing you can easily PM him and give the advice or just let the AD fall into the graveyard if no interest comes his way.

Is it really that hard to take an updated picture of the interior?

30k, it seems reasonable for knock off brides, no door panels, captain morgan ebrake boot and a mexican blanket rear seat upholstery

Car has all brand new interior panels. The rear seats are cover with the blanket so they werent damaged during the restoration. I have a second pair of seats for the front as well. The brides were in it when I purchased it. Anymore smartadd comments anyone?

this ad just took a left turn of the exit ramp.

I would say this car is worth 20-25k max, don't think you will get 30k with it still needing work.

The BaT car was also more a work of art and had a history with the owner doing his own restoration, engineering, reupholstering, etc. Plus if you think your car is worth 30k, why not put it up on BaT and see how high it goes?

I will most likely put it on there. I am not registered on BAT yet, so I posted it on a few sites/forums I am currently registered to. His car has a story yes, but it also needs to have the body work re-addressed. Which typically is the most expensive part of any restoration. My exterior restoration was to the tune of $13,500.

I have it on a few sites. I have it here be ause I purchased my e30 from here as well.

Yeah but that one was signed by Pete Brock and didn't need a headliner.

My car doesn't need a body restoration...The car that sold for 45K does lol.

Maybe take note of the detailed ad with gratuitous pictures. Your post (or.. word diarrhea) closely resembles most stancelife miata craigslit posts for "3kay or 240z,b ut bring your own ramz"

I'm good... Thanks for the advice though.

No rule against posting a Japanese car on a Euro forum, but until your last edit the listing was pretty short on details.

Considering this car sold for 45K...And the body needs another restoration...I think 30K is reasonable for my car. I have already had 25K offers as well.
