Hey guys just want everyone on here to know the two ads posted on kijiji last night for a red 90 hatch mint condition and black 180sx in mint shape for $1500 or less are fakes. The 180 is for sale in austrailia. I have msged both buyers and gotten exact responses in return stating they wanted to secure a buyer beforehand. The names are frank reed and ryan reed.

Same last name and identical response emails from both ads. To the tee. That’s how I came to my conclusion. Ryan reed owns the 180. And frank reed owns the 240. You tell me if that’s not enough info to come to the conclusion. And yes the red one posted in markham. And yes I am playing along with the “seller”. See where this goes.
