Bleach Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Finally a nice truck at a good price. Usually I see dented up trucks from sellers who say they are motivated but still want $1700 for them. :) Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yeah! now he want's 450.00!! :D http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/1090255360.html Link to comment
Phlebmaster Posted March 24, 2009 Report Share Posted March 24, 2009 Tomorrow he wants 700.00.... :eek: http://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/1090201481.html Link to comment
Bleach Posted March 25, 2009 Report Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well, he sent me larger pictures. I was seriously interested by his description. The truck is not in MINT condition as described in the ad. Not even Excellent condition, except for the interior. The truck does have rust, dents, scratches, and dings. Smashed in tail light housing, tweaked front bumper, bent valance... anyway, I was dissapointed. It certainly is closer to a $500 truck than a $1500 one. :( Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 He had it for $350 on cl yesterday. I'm sending this mexican guy I work with over to see it tonight, he's looking for cheap work transportation. Link to comment

This was a 8 out of ten for a 72. Most pay good money(usually to me) to take theres to the condition that it was in.. Anyone who was "dissapointed" in the truck for the price is a jerkoff in my book..... Link to comment

Bleach Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 Funny, that you can say that without seeing it??? I said that after seeing high resolution pictures of it. That is enough to get a good idea of its overall condition. I restore classics and this was in exellent condition for the year. This was a 8 out of ten for a 72. For the year , maybe but that is not what MINT CONDITION means. You described it as if it just rolled out of a dealership. I didn't expect it to look perfect but it was not as described. Most pay good money(usually to me) to take theres to the condition that it was in.. It wasn't even an acceptable paint job. I'm sure trucks you restore or work on turn out far better than that. Anyone who was "dissapointed" in the truck for the price is a jerkoff in my book..... ya, maybe. I'm not dissapointed in it for the price, I'm dissapointed in what it looked like considering your written description of it and stating it was possibly a $1500 truck. $350-500 is an appropriate market value for it. No need to oversell it. Then what's up with all the ads for the truck at various prices and then deleting them? :blink: 72 Datsun 620....Mint Condition! Rare Find! Nice Driver! - $1 ... I have a very well taken care of 1972 Datun 620 Bulletside puckup truck. MINT, NO RUST! Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted March 26, 2009 Report Share Posted March 26, 2009 That's nowhere near mint. Bumper bent, driver side fender dented, both taillight buckets shoved in and destroyed (been rearended), tailgate covered in dents and the left-side handle is loose, armrests are split, dash cracked... Not "Mint". Above average condition, yes, except the damage to the taillight housings which is pretty significant. Link to comment
joemaddox Posted March 27, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 I needed to post it as i did becuase there were about three or four datsun fans that called me on it, and about six hundred people looking for "New Car" for the 350 i was asking. I restore classics by trade, but i flip cars for the bills, i know what i have to say to get the tire kicking craiglisting Bullshitters to come over and look at it. They will want a new car for the pennys they have, so i present what they want to hear for the pennys i'll be given... Thats all. Sorry to piss of the enthusiasts. Its just in much better shape than the majority i see, most need well over 1k in metal replacment or reshaping. Anyone who uses bondo is not doing body work,lol...... Link to comment
