ok so i traded my mint datsun Z for a 98 kouki, i drove to florida to drop it off, fuel pump and starter were bad, the guy said the 98 s14 was good, no cons besides some scratches, cracked windshield, said it runs fine, get to florida test drive the car feels good, check the engine bay its leaking oil and check engine is on, he says it wasnt that important to consider it a problem, i drove 2700 miles, so i did the trade, we agreed on 800cash on top and some beats by dre headphones, so i drive back to california, he put the datsun on his name right away, kinda weird, i get home drive the car, get it compression tested its low, leaking lots of oil, boost controller isnt plugged in, so now im stuck with a broken car and still have to pay him the 800dollars to get the title, my datsun is already under his name, what can i do?? he doesnt want to give me my car back.....what do you guys think i can do??? i got screwed over.......

did the two of you fill out a bill of sale or put anything in writing? if not, don't pay him. he misrepresented his end of the deal. if you signed something saying "as is" then you are legally bound to your end of the deal

So let me get this straight, you saw the leaking oil, didn't do a comp test and traded anyway? You sir are an idiot. No 240sx, let alone a 98 Kouki will never be a collectible car, should've kept the Z.

What you can do is get the car fixed and pay him the money after it's running. I'm assuming you didn't state a time period in which you were to pay him back? Take your time or take him to court for misrepresentation of the vehicle.

Either way, you never go into a car purchase blindly. Do your research, know the weak/problematic areas on the car and check them out. Bring the tools to do a comp test, amp test/draw(starter,alternator, etc.). You know as well as everyone else out there looking for a 240 that the majority of them are beat, ragged out, missles.

So wait,
After him telling you that he thought the "leaks" weren't worth mentioning, you didn't think to yourself "hey what else is he hiding?"

And on top of that you STILL agreed to give him 800 on top? -_-..


There isn't much you can do except not pay him.

^^ yeap yeap!!! Dude how come you didn't get a compression test in FL?? thats the first thing you do, especially when it comes to a 240, come to terms with the seller, tell him It has problems he did not mentioned, don't give him that 800 bucks, that money could be spent on fixing the car, give him the headphones plus like 200-300 to get the tittle. I've seen your Fairlady on this forum, man that thing was nice!!! pristine condition, you shoulda kept that!!!! Collectors car right there!!!! Gool luck man....

he's right, You should never buy a car if you don't do your research. If anything you should take this as a lesson. good luck bro

You pretty much fucked up on every step of that transaction. I don't think you could have screwed yourself over more if you tried. The way I see it, you have three choices.

1. Insist on trading back. This could get messy, as I don't know what legal ground you'd have to stand on there.

2. Pay him the $800, get the title, call it a lesson learned.

3. Try to negotiate that you shouldn't have to pay the $800 due to the condition of the car, and have him send you the title for an even swap.

I think option 3 will be your best bet. He didn't fuck up, so why would he trade back? You came, checked the car out, and decided to go ahead with the trade. I wouldn't trade back if I was him, even IF you later found out the engine was blown. He'd say "you had every opportunity to check the car out. The car didn't come with a warranty." Maybe he did misrepresent the car, but thats not his problem if he gave you the opportunity to check the car out. The burden of proof is on you to prove that he did misrepresent the car.

Wait bro, you drove 3,000 miles ONE way, spent $2500 on just gas alone, looked at the car and saw the leaks even drove the car back and didn't see a red flag anywhere in there.

You traded a Collectors Z and spent almost $3500 on top to get a Kouki, and you didn't even get the title to the car you traded for? Did you even see if he had the title?

I dont think you could have fucked yourself anymore than you have. You traded a car worth 4,000 easy, spent another $3000 to get the car and didn't even get the title? You've got to be not telling us something.

You also drove the car all the way back to California on low compression and a leaking turbo? How do you even know if the car can pass your emission laws there?

we traded cars i towed the Z and towed the s14, he said he will mail me the title when i pay the 800bux, since i drove to him i wasnt gonna drive back with the Z, he was the one calling the shots basically, i learned my lesson theres a reason he wanted me to drive to him.....im not gonna pay him and part out the car.....

You sir are very risky.... Even though in most cases trader rating doesn't really matter I would of made him at least make an effort half way.

You should of kept the Z. Now you have to worry about all the BS 240sx's come with and on top of that worry about SMOG.

Consider this a lesson learned. No sense in fighting something that isn't worth it. Fix your problems and get on with it. GL to you....

Should had just paid somebody to go look at the car for you when its that far from you. A guy in NY paid me $100 to go look at a datsun z with a ls1 swap. I made a vid and took lots of pictures as if i was buying the car. Turns out the seller was the one who felt uncomfortable about the buyer and the deal was off.

06-03-2012, 04:41 PM
NEVER buy a car without the title in hand. I had the same issue where the guy agreed to give me the title after he received it in the mail. I told him I would pay him the rest of the money ($500) when I got the title. 2 Days after I bought the car, it caught on fire. It showed no signs of leaks and it ran strong. I noticed the temp gauge rising so i got out and popped the hood, the manifold was glowing red. Obviously running lean, it had no wideband. I turned around to go home and it went up in flames. Had to pay $488 to get it out of the impound. Wanted my money back, but he wouldnt give it to me. Said he still wanted the $500 or else I wouldnt get the title either. After lots of arguments, I decided to part the car out because I couldnt rebuild it and resell it with a title in someone elses name. You should have talked him down while you were there and next time you make a cross country trip, look over the car better. Long story short, pay him the $800 and learn your lesson, or part out and risk him blaming you for stealing his car and parting it out.

So you still owe him $800 and you didnt get the title in your hand. What makes you think he'd give a shit about sending you the title if you dont give him his $800? You have a whooooooole lot more to lose than him cuz you're a dumbass. Shit, even if you send him the $800, there's still a good chance he wont send you the title.

Fuck, did you even see the title on hand when you decide to drive cross country like an idiot? Shit just sounds like kind of shady...

some states will let you have 7 days to get the car inspected after buying it. if it does not pass.. you can return it and if he doesnt want to return it then you can take him to court and you will win.

Like you said, some states. He's trying to register the car in CA from FL, how exactly is he gonna take somebody who doesnt live in CA to court? All he has is a written note that is a "bill of sale" and shit's not even notarized.

If he atleast took a copy of the title, he might have something to use...FL atleast has a "bill of sale" form behind the title. Shit, did the seller sign the title yet? If he didnt, I'd take that fucking car thru some red light cameras with the FL plates on and see how many tickets I can have the state of CA send him in FL.

he claims it's got 40k original miles with 5k on a rebuilt engine. overall it looks clean for it's age, but it looks like it's been repainted-at least that's how it looks to me since one of the pics has an outline of sideskirts that were removed.

i don't know what these old Z's go for, but i would have asked for cash on top of the car.

Its official, you are a fucking idiot. I bet you could have asked for $10k for your Z and somebody would have low balled you down to $8k. I would have taken that $8k and find an S14 kouki in CA. Fuck, I would have traded you my 95 kouki converted S14 for your Z and GAVE YOU money on top.

I think your Z in good rust-free condition is more rare than a good condition 98 kouki.

You're just like one of many 20-something year olds who isn't thinking straight mainly because you're young and naive.

To me, these are the most important rules to follow:

1) Never ever buy someone else's project car. I'd rather spend an extra 15% of the average to get an untouched version of a car so that if I do want to "work" on it, I can base everything on the manufacture service manual. Even if they say "I did cold air intake," my thought process should be "he did 1 mod, I bet he did like 10 others 'not so good' ideas."

2) Inspect the car before any transaction is done. Used cars are notorious for "hidden" crap. If you're not mechanically inclined, pay $300 for a shop or dealer to do a multilevel inspection to give me a detailed report as to "what's wrong" with the car and "how much" it cost to fix it. Think of it as an expensive carfax or insurance. You should also try carfaxing the car first before visiting for inspection. I would never buy a car that has been in an accident before, even small fender benders (I have strict criteria for chassis integrity).

3) Transaction all at one go, no delays. I really do hate it when people do a transaction and not complete it in one go. If I trade in a car and buy a car from a dealer, I get the title right away. Why not the same with private selling? Any transaction record, contract, or receipt? This will cover every party in terms of expectations and understanding from both parties.

ahaha seriously, so yeah you should probably edit all those parting out postts if your gonna part out aha.

WHAT. THE. FUCK.

I would never trade my S30 for a S-Chassis, especially a one in good condition, add to the fact you have to drive 2400 miles. Sorry man, but even if that 14 wasn't fucked, you still traded down IMO.

I agree, but I clean Z is a clean Z, there's far less of them running around than S14's. Add either triple carbs, or turbo L28, or a RB/JZ and it would've been a sweeeeet car. Much more enjoyable to own.

yea, ya goof'd, but its not the end of the world.

KAs are like 500 bucks, get one after you part out all the bullshit turbo stuff (btw, KAT is never a good car to buy...),
the body is straight enough, its workable. you can make it nice, just going to have to acept it as a lesson and do work.

also, why why WHY didnt he give you the title at the time of sale??? thats nuts. i would never walk away with a titleless car.



on the flip side, your Z was nice, but guess what, it didnt have 40k on it, no way. thats deffinatly a rollover. it was repainted, and above all, its just a Z. there are so many of thoes damn things. drive around some neighborhoods and youll find one sitting in a yard, they are not the holy grail.






all in all, you didn't come out on top, but its not a fucking automotive apocalypse like people are screaming.

There's a pretty damn big difference between a junk yard Z, and a good shape, running one. Ask anyone who's been brave enough to restore one from bucket status to something worthy, it's no where near cheap.

I really wish I could give the OP some advice, or words of encouragement, but man, you drove off with the title.

Think of it as a positive experience. When I was younger, I traded my cars for some heaps just riding the dream. You live and learn :2f2f:

As for the new car, I would just fix it up as you are doing. Don't drive it hard until you have everything figured out and make it your new project. It could be a nice car with the right amount of time it seems. More pictures of the new ride and congrats.

Do us a favor, sprinkle some anthrax powder and mail him cash.

The world could use one less a-hole.

My advice, if you ever buy long distance, make the seller FEEL like you're there. Detailed pictures, in depth videos, if they're really motivated to sell and don't have anything to hide then you know you've got a winner.

I've bought 2 cars long distance. An IS300 near my hometown in Dallas while I was living in Tucson, then my Z from Fresno while I was still in Tucson. The IS was a great deal, it was a dream. The Z on the other hand.....yeeeea, let's just say it's in much better hands now. Partially my fault for not taking my own advice and jumping the gun.

It's really not that big of a deal. What you did was already pretty stupid, so pay the man, get the title, get this over with. I really hope you had some written agreement to solidify the $800 tag. Otherwise, mister shifty could say to the cops that you go to when he doesn't cough it up, that it was actually 1600 on top, or more. It isn't over till you have that title in your hand. Once you do, you'll have to pay another 400-600 to buy another KA to swap it in, OR just have a really good look at everything. You may just need new gaskets, rings, and some light machining to bring that engine back to life.

The Kouki actually does look really clean. The front bumper while strange from its color, can be repainted. Sell those honda wheels and get yourself some offset 17/18's. You're going to have to fork out a lot of cash. But the base car you got could have been A LOT worse.

This was a shit deal, but you can work with it. You haven't completely lost.

06-05-2012, 09:00 PM
You need to go back to Florida in person. Rent a car or get a round trip ticket. Make sure you get the title and write out a bill of sale for your trade and agreement that was made originally and you both need to sign it, make a copy for the guy.
Your car will not start because of low compression..Get new plugs if you have to hear it run again.

Its official, you are a fucking idiot. I bet you could have asked for $10k for your Z and somebody would have low balled you down to $8k. I would have taken that $8k and find an S14 kouki in CA. Fuck, I would have traded you my 95 kouki converted S14 for your Z and GAVE YOU money on top.

But then the title he doesn't have wouldn't say 1998

Are you serious? Changing carbs and purchasing some early year bumpers are easy to source. No need to rule out a Z just because it has "shitty carbs and no bumpers.". There are differences between a 240/260/280 but unless you plan on staying all original there's no reason to rule out a 260/280.

OP.... Get that title STAT! Or part that bitch out. You made a very stupid mistake, learn from it and don't make it again and move on. Especially letting the world know of your mishap. I'm sure you already feel like shit. Why post it and have us rub it in?

Agreed, my Z had that same whack ass bumper when I bought mine. $160ish later I had a brand new air dam and it looked mega-tons better. Got a metal bumper for around $100, but had issues with being slightly warped which is no biggie because it still looked fine without it. I think the fiberglass ones are $120 or so?

Technically the title still belongs to the original owner so he can't part it out as it would constitute as stealing considering he didn't create any sort of a god damn contract between the two other than signing each other's pink slips.

I bet that kid doesn't even have the title in his name. Or has it in general. "what if the beats don't work" wtf there headphones who fucking cares who the hell trades headphones and cash for a car!?

From what your posting that kid is just wantin the $800 and then he's going to forget about you and the title. Fly back, bring a lawyer to his doorstep and save all your messages and texts. Proof of low compression, proof of it not starting, proof of everything. Bring everything you have on him all conversations etc. then bring a lawyer with all that evidence in a folder and confront him.

I'm willing to bet money he thinks your bullshitting on taking court actions against him. If you send him $800 I bet he takes the money and runs.

In California does the title have to be notarized? And the bill of sale? I know in my state when you buy a private party car, the bill of sale and title need to be notarized with both signatures and amount paid for the vehicle. Otherwise you can't do anything.

How exactly are you gonna get your car back? You dont own the title any more since you signed it over. You're fucked on that side. Now, he still has the title on the car you have.

WRONG. First stop attacking the seller - its not going to make your life any easier. Either start working with him on compromises or actually take legal action like you're saying. Second, why are you posting ANYTHING about ANY details of this transaction or poor negotiation on a PUBLIC FORUM that YOU even said the SELLER IS A MEMBER ON?!???? This is only going to hurt you in court and make you look even worse.

Please OP start using what's between your ears and STOP making yourself look and sound so stupid. THINK about this, are you going to try to level with him and make sure you get the title after you send him the money or go talk to a lawyer.

what i don't understand is, you mentioned everyone in california who would consider trading a kouki s14 wanted 4-5k on top of your car. did you stop to think that going all the way to florida, spending 2500 on gas + 800 + headphones + your time essentially added up to 4-5k?

I'm glad i'm not the only one who was thinking this!

OP...:picardfp: NOW YOU HAVE FUCKED UP

wow such a nice datsun i hate to say it but if ur the type to trade a classic z like that for a s14 u kind had this coming when i read the op i thought he was paying u 800 i can imagen getting rid of a s30 for a s14 with what u spent on gas and the 800 u could have gotten a s14 base and put a kouki front on it

but in a nut shell u traded a car who's value is only going up for a car who's value is only going down

good job

Cost of round trip to Orlando, FL - $300-500 if you book in advance and fly on a weekday. $50 for a hotel stay. $50 for food, misc. $800 that u owe.....

$1200-$1400 and you're done with this mess. Maybe less if you can negotiate with this guy. Cut your losses. Learn from your very expensive mistake. Stop posting about this on a public forum. For gods sake talk to someone who has some damn sense and stop trying to solve this on your own.

GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT. STOP BLAMING OTHERS FOR YOUR MISTAKES. GET A FUCKING HOLD OF THE SITUATION AND GET THIS SHIT STRAIGHTENED OUT!!!

No, I just googled and blind posted... sure there is something that covers private sails and cellars. which is why I said I'm just encouraging him to search. My apologies if my spelling offended you. :bowrofl:

Ya bitch bow down and suck my dick. While you're down there ask my dick for some spelling lessons, maybe my balls will be kind enough to teach you how to use autocorrect. Fuckin punk.

Just paypal the guy for the title, find a friend with a paypal acct, send the money to him (NOT AS A GIFT) and move on with life.

I know I'm sexy, but being agressive isn't going to get you in my pants, buster. I'd have to wait for your balls to drop to get lessons on this auto correct.

Ugh. Mods should lock this thread, shits getting out of control. OP done fucked up, and seriously what is so hard about making a paypal account?! It takes minutes, all you need is a bank account, its completely safe and has protections against foul play like this which I have used myself and gotten back 100% of my money. Grow a pair OP. If you're not going to listen to our sane advice, then maybe you shouldn't get that title. Your empty legal threats against him aren't going to help you. Not one single bit.

Just accept the kouki, you traded your z and life goes on. Pay him the 800 and build that kouki to your preference. Yes you got cheated out of your Z and it's fucked up, but at least you still have a car.

Why? I wanna find the guy in FL and shake his hands for being a badass. I know I'm a smooth talking muthafucker who can convince somebody, who lives over 3,000 miles away to trade me his nicer car for my POS 240sx.

06-19-2012, 03:11 PM
idk if anyone cares... But I personally know the guy the traded the S14 for the Z... I went to high school with him and he was in autoshop with me... He asked me multiple times to help him work on that S14 lol... and the Subaru he had before that. If the OP needs any help, I'll be 100% willing to seeing as I live a few streets away from him.

This, that guy must have a doctorate in bullshit. You forgot to add he not only got him to drive 3,000 miles, but he got him to trade him $200 headphones and $800 cash lmao.

Theres so much fail in this thread lol. from the start i still cant believe he traded his collectable Z.. for a 240sx. BUT WITH THAT SAID its not the end of the world. Nothin you can do OP just accept it and youll be OK. Sounds like its time for you to have a fun project anyway just go crazy on the kouki

So the Guy wants me to send him the money than he will send me title, I told him is there another way?

^ as everyone else stated, this guy is a total tool

who trades for a car + headphones then doesnt finish business right then and there? its a fucking transaction, finish it.

honestly though, i dont see what the headache is all about. the Z is not historic, its just an old heap. it doesnt look nice or special or even well kept. same for the s14, just another heap. looks like you guys traded horses that were pretty even to me.


I saw it on clubroadster.net

yeah, along with all the other fruitcakes

Dude I think you're totally forgetting that 1998 240sx's are worth 10k just the bare frame alone. The 1998 was made out of special titanium alloy microfiber wooven hand braided polyurthane nitrate coppertone soaked in virgin's blood for 24 hours 0 minutes hence the name 240sx.

Umm I just laughed. Best thing I've ever read.

Hands down I woulda never got rid of the Z.
