  1. How does the strut get battered like that? People throwing stuff in the boot? The grazing on the front looks like misjudgement in parking! Do you think they can be polished out with a bit of work??
  2. No beer but got a cheeky maccy ds on the way home I took pics of all the faults but I wasnt sure if should put them up? Don't want to put you off the car with nitpicking. Its not perfect but its four years old. Clean the engine bay, give a good detail and refurb or change the wheels and you will have a nice car. Also take into consideration that tyre and pads will need done soon. If you want the pics up I will take the time to upload them for you Craig I would like to see pics. rather than posting a load do you have a photobucket or flikr account or something where you can just upload them into an album and send me the link to view that would be great cheers Mmmmm Maccy D. They doing the Miami Melt this week so the ads say!
  3. Well Done Guys! Thanks ever so much for your help! I spoke to Neil on the phone who gave me a low down on the car. I even sent the lady a text to say thank you for allowing the arrangements of viewing the car. She even replied back and sang your praises and mentioned how professional you guys were so it leaves me to wonder whether you are on commission or had your crate of beer already!!
  4. Is that a GT4?? Its an automatic...Seems nice with the 19" LMGT wheels
  5. Its up to you how much muscle you decide to bring with you! But I have just PM'd back Cheers
  6. If you can sort something out drop me a PM and I'll pass over the details I have and I will contact the lady regarding a possible viewing for a suitable time Cheers
  7. Thanks Guys This really does do me a world of favours. I've had some photos of the NS alloy which looked kurbed (which is okay to a point) and some minor discrepencies when I asked her details about the car. She is selling it on behalf of his son so there may be details she is unsure of which is why I need some 350z Cavalry to step in I'm just worried you guys will turn up 'A-Team' style and scare the crap out of her! lol
  8. Guys if have got time that would be great! If you let me know in good time so I can call the lady let her know and I will pass over the details I have and what info I require (plus all the infor you think I need!) Glasgow is a good 300miles from where I live so potentially I could end up buying without even looking at it in the flesh (which probably is not a good idea!) but gonna have to trust your judgement on this one!
  9. Oh Scaaawwweeeet Guys! Thanks This is the link : 350Z Anyone seen or know of this car? The lady said she is selling it on behalf her son who gone to America to work. I had a couple of pics mailed to me of the NS alloy wheels. Front look kerbed. However mileage looks good on it and its pretty much down my avenue I will need to phone the person to arrange a viewing however with one of you guy on my behalf though Cheers Martin
  10. Hey Guys Could do with eyes and knowledge in Glasgow area I've seen a Zed that I am interested in however it is over 300miles from where I live so I could really do with some eyes and expertise in having a look at it for me to guage condition and state Happy to pay the gesture back with a couple of bevvies Thanks
  11. I've seen your car flying about in MK! Very nice! I've sold my S2000 now so I am looking for a Zed You may have seen my Black S2000 about it has a very distinct number plate!
  12. I test drove this today! Very nice car and has the sat nav which isn't mentioned in the advert! The only slight concern I had with the car was the fact that it has had some paint work on the front end with evidence of some over spray on the underside of the headlights. There was also some bubbling of the paint at the bottom of the grill. This could just be a front end re-spray due to stone chips or something more, I really don't know. The guys at the garage were really friendly and were great to deal with though. Nice! Sat Nav not mentioned but you can see from pics.What was the bolster wear like on drivers seat?? Did you note how much tax remaining and MOT? Service history? Do you think its worth the asking price? I'm sure they would budge on it! Cheers That is really useful to know you have seen it in flesh
  13. Hiya Guys! Thread Resurrection as I didn't see the point of starting a new one but I finally Sold my S2000 and now on the hunt for a 350z! My preference is Azure Blue then Black. I would love a facelift model (MY06) but I've yet to decide if I want to stomach the supercar tax that comes with it. I did have to pay £400+ per year tax on the S2000 so its not as if I've not done it before its just whether I wanna pay £400+ tax again Do any of you guys know of these 2 cars?? 54 Plate Azure Blue and 05 Black GT4 also do any of you member live anywhere near these garages? I live nowhere near these garages and need some experienced eyes over them if that would be at all poss in exchange for a few bevvys! Cheers Martin
  14. I think people leaving is very subjective.... I've just sold my S2000 and looking for a Z. Nothing wrong with the S itself but just facied something different that was at the end of the alphabet! At least I've had the past time of saying I've owned a convertible and now looking for a pastime to own a V6!
  15. You could have swapped cars LOL Possibly but like myself Rbiscuit probably had a preference to what kind of S2000 is preferred. Silver 350z wasn't not high on my list unfortunately
  16. Hey Rbiscuit... I've just sold my 2006 S2000 thursday just gone and looking for a 350z (have been for a while lol) You wont be disappointed with an S2000 and whilst it was fun revving to 9K RPM and if your are not in VTEC region the engine sometimes feels a little lethargic unlike the 350 where you put your foot down and away it goes but bear in mind both car have very different ways of delivering power Other than the obvious (mechanical and bodywork) to look out for. Pay attention to the roof. Check on the inside where the linkage bars are to see if there is anything torn or rubbing as roof is expensive to replace. REV4 (Black centre console) is Drive by wire system, has different wheels and headrests REV3 (Silver CC) is not DBW but majority of rev3 will be pre-supercar tax band! I sold because I started not to take the car out for social drives as I work so close to work and got bike from cycle scheme. The only time I used it was to go see my rents at the weekend and even then I would pootle about in it out of VTEC My only real pet hate about the car is when the roof leaks after heavy rain but that was easily remidied by keeping seals siliconed Happy hunting anyway! I was absolutely gutted to see my car go!
  17. do a general web search on s2000 4u. Not to put fear into your purchase but some people have had bad dealings with them just look on the s2000 forums and you will have some idea. But then again you are buying the car and not the salesman! good luck with hunt
  18. Was uber foggy but noticed the nice big cans from the rear! Was quite musical with the bungs on so I hate to imagine what it would be like without the bungs!
  19. EBURU black and MONTERAY Blue!!! WTF!!
  20. I dont get S20004U. They relist stuff on pistonheads and Autotrader that have already been sold! What is the point in that?
  21. I think all (or some) dealers are bad to a point but I think you have to remember that you are buying the car and not the dealer or salesman
  22. My God these guys are optimistic aren't they??? http://s2000-4u.co.uk/vehicle-details.asp?Make=47&Model=664&RSpage=2&ID=1087458 against this: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1375650.htm Same car with juicy markup!!!!
  23. Nice! One of my fav colours! Did a good job of blanking out the banner behind the car! They still have it listed for sale?!?! What it the mileage of it if you dont mind me asking?
  24. Beautiful example! Where did you find you car if you dont mind me asking. I'm still on the hunt and my only resource is Autotrader and Pistonheads

    You will find that even the S2000 requires the key in order to start it with the button! ONly thing you cannot do in the S2000 is use they key to turn over
