| advice: should I buy this 510?
I want a Datsun
I want a Datsun real bad http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/pm...745442851.html
been talking to the guy and the car seems legit, he's also interested in trading me straight up for my 1990 b16a integra, which im considering
how hard is it to find a headlight relay? any other things you think i should be aware of?

Talk to Glen at Southside Nissan for any Datsun parts. You'll be surprised at how many Datsun parts are still available.

Please get it and save it, i've been eyeing that thing for a while. You could probably get it for less as its been up for ages. Goodluck with it, hope you get it.

That thing has been on there for at least 2 months now. I don't know why it's been on there so long but there must be something wrong with it if it hasn't sold at that price.
That being said, I wouldn't rely on it to be a daily until you can get it home and thoroughly inspect every inch of it. Headlight relay shouldn't be a big deal.

As time passes these cars are going to get harder and harder to find.
Go for it. It's not very much money, and no matter what you'll have fun building it.
good luck.

I say this car is not worth what he is asking.
He claims the car only has 26,000 original miles, yet he DD's this car.
In the pics, you can clearly see it has no plates.
Paint looks faded in the pics.

If you buy it I got a mean little 280z motor/trans with triple side drafts to drop into it

I'm sure he's willing to take less if it's been for sale for so long.
Like Phil said, if it was a 2 door it would be selling for a lot more. The sedans have a lot of style though, and with so many performance cars in sedan form nowadays, it will fit right in.

He emailed me late last night and said he's going to write me the novel length history on the car... I'll post it up as soon as he does.
I was laughing at the 26000 miles as well... I might belive him if the odo was capable of going into hundred thousands lol Posted via RS Mobile | |

That car is a rip off. No way it's 26k miles. it's probably at least 126k because if like my 280z, the odo only has 5 digits. 2dr 510's are better than 4dr. and you'll need ALOT of custom work done to get that to run properly. The condition looks pretty bad. Be prepared to spend at least $5k ontop to get it running smoothly. These arent the type of cars that you can daily drive and not worry about it for 10k kms, you'll have to constantly check oil, fluids, etc etc, and expect things to break on you.

I would love a 510 however, I would gladly pay double for a 2-door.
Even by today standards, these things handle like they're on rails!
