Message	I am trying to sell my Skyline since I only have about 30 days left in Japan. So far I haven't had any bites and I am getting a bit nervous about what to do. I put an ad in the military newspaper that also shows up online. I received an e-mail from someone who was interested. Below are his e-mails. Does this sound legit? If it is, I'd love to sell the car since time is running out. I just don't want to get screwed. Also, any tips to cover my rear just in case it looks legit would be appreciated. BTW, I looked up the domain name and got THIS WEBSITE. I did pull up a Rita Smith in google for that same e-mail address and company.

Do yourself a favor and just worry about your own car. I don't see what everyone is so worried about anyway. If someone else wants to perform a modification that you believe will destroy the value, cheapen the Z32 or whatever you can't sit on your hands about, wouldn't that make your tastefully-modified, white bread Z32 more rare and valuable? -- BradZ (FL) on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 PM The unicorn gets its revenge... -- Scotts94z32 on September 19, 2006 at 11:12 AM CLICK TO PURCHASE THE ZAMA STORAGE FACILITY POSTER!!!
