Hi guys,
Im new to the forum, I was just after some advice regarding a purchase of a 350z second hand. Essentially the Mrs and I are looking for something sporty and have both always really wanted one. We are aware of the costs involved and they should not be a problem to us. Now we have seen one that we are keen on but I was after some advice. Essentially its a 2005 UK GT model. 31085 on the clock. Outside it is immaculate, only a few stone chips on the front and inside is the same. The chap who owns it seems pretty genuine and is selling as he has just got a bike and license and doesnt need two weekend vehicles.
Now the problems with it are one the HPI check which has shown this:
Now the mileage discrenacy occurs (32000-23000) when he performed his HPI check and appears to have put in 32000 instead of 23000 as a typo. Ive read lots of reports about NMR being inaccurate etc and the MOT history is as such:
29/03/2012 - 30,844 Miles
22/03/2011 - 23,176 Miles
31/03/2010 - 19,700 Miles
26/03/2009 - 16,155 Miles
21/02/2008 - 11,875 Miles
Which is all in keeping with things, so im not concerned the car has been clocked.
The second problem is that there is a large gap in the service history, it only has 2 early stamps, his reason for this is that the previous owners and himself have had it serviced through work and the books didnt get stamped. It has just been serviced and MOT'd and the book will be stamped for the service 2 weeks ago.
The price weve come to is £8500.
So basically my question is is there anything here that should make me walk away, the car is genuinely in immaculate condition and ran fine on the test drive we did.
Thoughts would be most welcome.
Many thanks,
Hawker
