What do you think I should offer him for this one? What is a reasonable price?

Honestly, I hope you get it. I emailed the seller and he really wanted to sell it locally. Although, If it turns out you can't get the cash or don't want the car, do me a favor and shoot me a pm. I am curious and would like to know what he is trying to get for it. Also, if neither one of us ends up buying it, there will always be another. My father always told me, never fall in love with a car.

Thanks for the offer 72 327. I actually got another offer from a member that lives quite close to the car's location. I just want to say that this board is full of helpful people. Its a nice change of pace from the angry people on the East Coast. Of course, qwik510 has definitely been the exception, but if he has ever been to Philly I am sure he would agree with me.:D

Hello guys, I got some really good advice from qwik510. He said I should ask if a knowledgeable member could look at a car located in California for me. I am currently located in Delaware and can not make it out to the West Coast right now. I offered this possibility to a seller located in Tracy California and he said that it was a good idea. Here is the listing in question: http://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/1186093108.html If anyone is interested, I will compensate them(money and/or parts if interested) for their time. Also, you'll probably make a new grateful friend from it. Please message me and we can work out the details. I can also be reached by cell#302-507-9316. Call me pretty much any time. Thanks guys.

Thanks for the advice qwik510. I have shipped a car across the country before. I lived in AZ for almost 6 years and had my old car shipped out there. I have also tried to be very accommodating to the sellers I have talked to. I have even mentioned using paypal and withdrawing the funds directly from my account instead of backing it by my credit/debit card (That saves the seller a 5% paypal surcharge). Also, I would be more than willing to pay a member to check out a car for me. It has been a common response that the seller does not want to be bothered by dealing with an out of state sale. I understand, there are more than enough people that love 510s in California to not have to worry about a guy in Delaware. Everybody has been really nice about it though. I hope I don't come off bitter, anyone that owns a 510 has to be a good guy. Anyway, I appreciate the warm welcome and like the fact that no one has mentioned that for my first post I am in the classifieds asking for help. It says a lot about the members of this site. As far as getting a car goes I'm not too worried, the longer I wait the more I can spend on a nice 510. Also, thanks for the Birthday Wishes, its been a good day so far.

That is the cleanest 510 I have seen. I kinda have my heart set on a 2 door though. Thanks though, I really do appreciate any help.

Hey, guys my name is Karl and I'm stuck on the east coast. I am trying to buy a nice rust free Datsun 510 from CA and have it shipped back east. It hasn't been going too well, nobody really wants to deal with the whole out of state thing. I don't blame them I'd be skeptical too. Anyway I am looking for a nice rust free 2dr 510 (Who isn't though right ). It would be nice if its drivable, because its easier for shipping purposes. My budget is about $4000 plus shipping costs, cheaper the better though. My plan is to put a ka24de in it (I go a 1997 ka for free from someone doing an SR swap , oh and a free turbo from my friend in AZ), so the motor doesn't have to be great. Also if anyone knows this guy and wants to deal with him in person for me(I know it's a lot to ask, but today is my Birthday) http://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/1186093108.html . He said he only wanted to deal local, which I can respect. Anyway, if you are still reading thanks. I can't wait to post in 1600 forums when I finally get one.
