Hi Guys. Hi Francis.
My name is Chris I now own the 350z which I bought from Franics.
As a 350z enthusiast I was sure to bump into this post.
I would just like to clear a few things up as I dont like where this going.
I am not akin to airing stuff on public forums, but I feel I must respond as the car and myself are getting the wrong attention.
When I was looking for a Z , I came across this original post. It was months long.
It was on at 15,500.
We agreed a price, which I see you have advertised to the nation.
I offered the car back to Francis for 16k. To anyone else I would have been looking for around 17,500.
I believe the car to be worth much more than this.
At the time I bought it from you, you knew you were stuck and had to sell it.
I was in two minds about buying it as I was leaving the country in about 6 months time, but we agreed a price and I bought it. Franics you whole selling point to me was that "you will definetly make money on this when you sell it" so unfortunately you cant have it both ways.
I feel you are trying to bring the car sale and myself into a bad light.
With regards to more mileage I have put 1,800 miles on it in 5 months.
The car has been pampered and look after no end!
I had the front skirt removed strengthed and totally resprayed, due to a scuff and stone chips.
The car is exactly as you left it mate.
I dont think that 1,500 over the price is too high a price to pay to get back your much loved car.
If the shoe was on the other foot I would have payed instantly if I had the cash.
Please do not be making me out as a bad guy, I am far from it!
If you had come back to me and said I cant raise 16k but I can raise x amount.
I may well have comsidered it.
But adamantly told me over the phone you could not raise the cash or even close to it
When I called you to give you first refusal.
I had some empathy for you over your situation, but now reading this I am not so sure.
If you had a problem with the price you should have called me mate, instead of going on the forums giving me a bad rap.
At the time you were more than glad I am came along and gave you the cash, as you were in dire straits.
With regards to the pics and advert mate, you sent me all those pics when I bought the car.
I think if I own the car, and you sent me the pics as a sales pitch at the time of my purchase.
I should be entitled to use them for resale. You knew the car to be worth more than the sale price and you even used as part of your sales pitch.
Listen guys I have dropped the price from £17,495 to offers over 16k.
Again Francis dont run the car or me into the ground.
Its a great car and worth much more than 16k as you well know it!
I will say it again. If you want the car call me!!
Otherwise mate, not be unkind you will have to let it go!
If you want to call me to discuss please do.
Over & Out
Not a bad guy (Chris)
