    They are also doing 2 years 0% PCP finance with 20% minimum deposit now available on all 350Z coupe including special Gt pack version with unique alloy wheels, sat nav, free metallic paint and mats& tonneau cover.

     

    Unique Alloys are the GT4 ones....

     

    where are they doing this?

    I always buy privatecos I get RAC to check the car ourt for me and I end up saving over 3k :thumbs:

     

    how much do RAC charge to check over the car? do you think the car in the link above is overpriced then? i thought it was pretty reasonable.

     

    Depends if you are a member with them or not, expect to pay around £140 but its worth every penny. They are there for like 3 house checking every inch of the car. Only thing they dont do is cam belt for obvious reasons. Never pay the private price on face value, haggle haggle haggle. I normally get my friendto call them up and offer them a really cheap price to get them humming and erring, then Ill come in with a £100 more and offer it there and then, normally works ;)

     

    great advice thank you. will RAC be able to check a car that is at a dealer?

    it is low, the car has only just been reduced to that price, i work about 200 yards from that showroom at the innovation centre, yes i used the warwick branch and dealt with seth directly.

     

    That black one currently sat next to a tasty 911 :)

     

    awesome, thanks for that. may have to come up and have a look at some point. would be great if you could give some opinion if you are around.

     

    Instead, why don't you just buy the car he is selling??? :bangin:

     

    a bit out of my price range at the moment

     

    Its called bartering ;)

     

     

     

    For cars of this value it wouldn't matter to me if the sale was private or from a dealer. As long as the car is straight, service is spot on and price is right it wouldn't make a difference to me. The shite dealer nitwork wouldn't make me pay me for a car because it was from a dealer though.

     

    the one i'm looking at comes in at 16.8k so i'll be hoping to knock that down. but can do with someone to help me tell whether the car is straight.....

    i've got my eye on this one. wonder if any of you have any thoughts?

     

    http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... eage=20000

     

    thats where i got mine from, i would highly recommend them :)

     

    Only speak to Seth.

     

    That also suggests mines priced correctly just having had £2k spent on wheels/tyres

     

    great, at least that's got me a bit of confidence. did you get it from the warwick branch as well? i was thinking that maybe it was a bit of a low price. but i'm not too sure.

    brought mine from a dealer but i would buy private had it been under warranty still. (and im not just saying that cause im selling mine :) )

     

    of course not!! haha

     

    did you have any problems with getting it from the dealer? would you still recommend getting a trusted mechanic to look over it? just not sure how much a dealer would be able to tell me about the car.

     

    I brought mine from a sytner owned sports car specialist, who bring in what they deem as decent nissan mechanics to service there cars, mine was sat next to a DB7 which was being serviced by an aston mechanic at £1000 a day for a few days...If they were willing to pay for proper mechanics it gives you confidence.

     

    Never missed a beat, but i would prefer to go back there in the future rather than look else where.

     

    so you would recommend the sytner group? i just checked their website and the one i was looking at from autotrader above is from a garage that is part of the group.

    From experience in looking myself for the last few weeks I would definitely steer clear or garages, only main Nissan dealers. I've looked at 2 Azure blue ones that have been bought from main agents (one being from nissan and another part ex from VW) and both have been awful. Got me thinking that if they were good examples there is no reason why Nissan themselves wouldnt put them on their forecourt?!

     

    private ones are good as well as they will be a bit cheaper and you can generally tell how well they've been looked after going by the owner etc etc...

     

    I'm looking at a privately owned one (from here as it happens!!) tomorrow so fingers crossed it'll be the one for me!!!!!

     

    Chris :)

     

    good luck with it tomorrow! i have exactly the same concerns as you on the dealer front. but have spotted one that interests me so may have a look. bit pricey at the moment but hoping to be able to knock it down.

    hi, as i'm still in the search for my first zed and want to get it right. i just wanted to ask whether most people tend to buy zeds from other individuals or from dealers? would buying from a dealer guarantee more reliable cars mechanically wise or would it not matter as most probably wont know the zed in too much detail to look after it while its on the forecourt?

     

    thanks in advance for your advice.

    Good Price? or too good to be true?

    No not mising something, It says it has fogs, but infact it dosnt, well not on the front...

     

    IIRC this has been up for sale for ages, remember the same convo about foglights... Dealer may just copy and paste from a past advert though!

     

    Didnt 06 cars come up with the uprated front and rear lights?

     

    ah, i see! sorry to sound stupid but am still relatively new to the scene and still on the lookout for my first zed. so do you think this isnt going to be a nice example then?
