akewt

New lower price! £11,250.

I was the 3rd owner of the car, akewt is the 4th and whoever buys it will be the fifth.

 

FYI...First owner of the car was someone in their 40s who only owned the car from new (2007) to 2008 and only did a few thousand miles in it.

Second owner was a guy who bought it for his son and owned it from '08 to 2011. I bought the car on 27k in May/June 2011 and sold it around 33k to akewt in August 2012. My only reason for sale was a new company car was heading my way.

 

I would also add that the car has rear parking sensors, which isn't listed in the advert.

Thanks for clearing that up Niraj. Post updated. The license plate is clearly visible for anyone wishing to make a check.

Exhaust sound!

Thanks for the info ....... If I came to view the car it would be with the cash in my hand , I'm not comfortable with travelling to see the car ,making an offer then waiting . Is this possible ? Cheers

Yes for sure, I didn't really think about people traveling in from a distance. If you came down and gave me an offer it would be yours. Just playing it by ear at the moment.

I understand how it might be tricky.

Cheers

Looks lovely mate. Good luck with the sale.

 

Off topic but how did you find the App Radio in terms of usability and quality?

Love the App Radio completely. It basically mirrors my phone on the unit. Sounds and performs very well. This is with an HTC One and ARLiberatior App

Cheers

How much mot tax? Cheers

Hey, taxed and MOT'd on January 1st. Cheers

How much mot tax? Cheers

Just to clarify ...... Is this for sale or an auction then? You keep changing things on your ad .... 4 or 5 previous owners? So you are the 6th owner? Not being funny just genuinely interested , thanks

Hello

Sorry for the confusion.

Yes Initially it was four owners then I remembered that I was the fourth owner. Still not entirely sure actually. I will find out asap! [edit] i think nij1983 was the fourth!??

And yes, I will be taking offer sin excess of 11k and will take the best offer after a couple of weeks.

Hope this clears things up, I'm not trying to hide anything here so I will be forthcoming with any info!! lol

Cheers,

Kev

Where about s are you mate?

Good point! Tunbridge Wells

Will update the post.

I have to say this is a great example of a Z. I owned the car before Kev and it was well looked after and pretty much used as a weekend car.

 

Oddly enough I'm looking for a car and was considering another Zed!

 

Good luck with the sale mate

Hey man!! Thank you! We have gone full circle. You'll be pleased to know I put a lot of love into her.... That sounds freaky....

Hello all

It is a sad day for me to tell you all I am selling my beloved Zed, Sexy Lexy (get it?)

I have owned the car since August 2012 and have loved every second of it and taken it on some lovely drives through Britain and Europe. It's been a bit of a project for me so have spent some time and money upgrading various bits, which will be listed below. The reason I am selling is due to me relocating to the US and after much deliberation I have decided to reluctantly sell.

I've tried to keep it looking OEM as you can see apart from dropping it and having 20mm spacers all round.

• Front has small chips as you can imagine.
  
• Rays are in need of a refurb. I never got round to it. See pics on flickr set.
  
• Interior in great condition. Few minor marks here and there.
  
• It needs a new aerial as the stubby one is knackered.
  

I have had to widen the net and put it on Pistonheads http://www.pistonhea...pgrades/2224132

New lower price of £11,250!

Location, Tunbridge Wells.

Thanks for looking,

Kev

I think it has to be a sale.

Even though I say I will be out there for 3 years there is a possibility I may never return!

Thanks for all the advise guys! No I just need to get some decent photos taken of my beast.

give it to me to look after....two zeds are better than one nah, seriously depends on your lenght of stay in yank land, short term; less than 2 yrs keep it here, any longer sell and buy again in the states, btw, good luck.......

It's interesting you say that. My stay will be aproximately 2-3 years. I have thought about keeping it here.

I went over for a week recently and saw a few oldies. It's settled, I'm going to kill mother earth single handedly with an old V8.

This is my 101st post.

buy a real american car

What, like a Prius?

ARRGGHHH!!!! Your killllliiiing me!

I had a feeling it might be the sensible option...

I have put so much love into it I am very reluctant to sell, but it may well be the only choice. Damn it!

Anyone wanna buy a 350Z?

Hello good forumers

I am relocating to the US in the next few weeks.

As you can imagine I have been in absolute turmoil trying to decide whether to ship my car over to the US or not. I cannot bare the thought of losing her (Lexy) so wanted to start up a discussion about the pros and cons of shipping her out there.

My company is paying for the relocation and this includes the cost of shipping a car. So that is all well and good so import cost won't be too much pain, although coming back I imagine would be!

Has anybody on here had any experience with shipping a car over to the US? I will be relocating to California so what type of emission laws do they have there? I will try to find out some info here and post. What do you have to do to convert your car to meet these emission laws?

Also, any opinions on whether having a car with the wrong hand side steering wheel is a real pain after a long period?

Should I just sell up and buy another over there?!!

Thanks for reading

Kev

that's a good point mouthwash.

I totally agree, I think EVERYONE thinks they are better than they are.

I've taken a speed awareness course, which actually really helped my motorway driving and I have had a lot of time on the track in single seaters and coupes alike (not mine however!) with some top 5 times. That makes me sound like I think I'm a race driver, far from it. I am definitely more experienced and more enthusiastic than most, hence having a Zed and generally loving driving!

Sorry to hijack!

thanks Nigel!

Are we talking about 350z owners here or just everyone?

I had a similar issue when my fan-belt had disintegrated but if you have bought a new battery that would exclude that issue.

interested to hear what the result is though dude.

+1 for the MPSS. I have been rolling on these for a bit now and they have treated me very well in a lot of "situations" wet and dry.

If you have to get an new exhaust you may as well upgrade. I got Abbey Motorsport to upgrade mine to a Milltek. Abs love it and the sound it makes.

 

you're going away with the mrs and you not concerned with where, just the roads that take you there ..... Top man

 

Another vote the evo, snowdonia, Brecon beacons

HA! Let's just hope she doesn't read the forums!!!

I saw more roadsters in Cali than anything else. I'm relocating to Cali in a months time and was seriously considering shipping my Zed over there but apprently it would have to be modified for the emission laws! No thanks!! I like my exhaust!!!

Thanks dude!
