Car lot?

Post by datzenmike »

I've noticed that the classified section, which serves the purpose of connecting members with other members to exchange/buy/sell/trade Nissan/Datsun parts and vehicles, (and does a good job), seems lately to have become the extension of a JDM import car lot and their salesman. Is this true or am I wrong? If a member owns another make vehicle and wants to sell, I guess once in a while is OK, but I am seeing one too many JDM Toyota Corollas. It's a slippery slope and next we'll see Chevy Suburbans, Hyundais, and Grand Ams from other car lots and dealerships for sale. I expect to see Nissan related sales there, and IF I wanted a Toyota, I know where to look elsewhere.

Now if this is the way it is, or if I am wrong, then I'll say no more. I am... concerned.

If JDM guy can do... so can I.
What we have here is a genuine pair of nearly new WindRiver boots, size 9.5 Don't let the condition fool you, they only have about 1 years use on them. They were imported from China. Bear in mind that shipping for these shoes is very high and for the privelage of owning them you will have to pay a hefty shipping fee along with an asking price of $11,500 USD. I will add that these shoes were worn when I took my 510 for its maiden drive. I can also import Fruit of the Loom mens briefs but bear in mind that they can also be rather costly so only those of you that are TRUELY INTERESTED please reply.
Yours truly a 510 ENTHUSIAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the humorous spin while helping to make my point. Uh... are the briefs JDM, with 'steering column' on the right?

Yeah...I think every once in a while is okay but this is starting to get a little over the top. I also think the seller should have the item for sale "in hand" and the ability to ship immediately.

That's right, many of us, (if not all, in one way or another) are guests here in someone else's house. It's generally considered , bad manners to take advantage of your host's generosity and those of his other guests. That said, I hope I'm not in violation of this by bringing all this up in the first place.

not at all. I think it's time we have a poll, or a vote, or something along those lines... I was just talking about this same subject with another club member on the phone a few minutes ago...

The fact is, these people are not CONTRIBUTING ANYTHING, merely using us as a captive audience to push product. I say: "Off with their heads!!" :twisted:
