350z_cfc

Hey all! I've been looking to buy a 350z (as a second car) for a year now but haven't done so yet for different reasons one of which is that I haven't found the 'right' one as yet. The car below caught my eye last summer and I was surprised to see it still hasn't sold so was wondering if anybody here had either viewed it or has any info on it: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-Nissan-350-Z-3-5-V6-GT-2dr/323564802587 I have not gone to view it because something feels off given how long it's been for sale for, also the price was £7,650 a couple of weeks back but is now up at £8,000 in the above advert but also £8,350 elsewhere (the dealer has a garage in London and one in Walsall hence the 2 different prices). Very strange to raise the price given it hasn't sold. Would appreciate any info. Thanks

Thank you all for your responses and helpful advice. I will definitely take my time, I'm not in a massive hurry and would rather find the 'right' car before making the purchase. To your point @pintopete58 I think it can be the luck of the draw at times with used cars but all I can do is minimise the risk as much as possible by doing my homework. I will be reading up more on this forum and I'll keep an eye out, only problem is I'm so smitten with the Sunset Orange colour not sure I would want any other colour very surprised that it's so seemingly rare!

Thank you all. I just wanted a second (more informed) opinion on this particular car and it seems that I was right about the price being on the high side so I will see if the dealer is willing to negotiate although I doubt it but if not then the search continues. Looking forward to joining the club fully once I have my 350Z!

Thank you! 5k was the price I had in mind tbh. I haven't yet viewed the car but plan to do so over the next couple of days however just unsure if I would pay the asking price. The warranty on offer is 3 months covering engine & gearbox. It has 2 brand new tyres on the front but back tyres are not new but have decent tread depth according to the dealer. 5 previous owners and whilst it was advertised as FSH when I asked further it seems to have some patchy service history, was first done at 9k then a huge gap to 47k with no stamps but then done at 58k, 64k, 65k, 67k, 68k, 70k, 73k & 79k (I'm guessing annually as it was rarely driven for the past few years going by the mileage readings on the MOT history). Piecing it together it looks like there was an owner (or 2) in there who didn't service it or maybe did the servicing themselves. It's a bit of a trek for me to get there so I'm still in 2 minds and don't want to rush into buying if it isn't at the 'right' price point.

Hi All, New member here, came across this forum over the past couple of days as I've been looking to buy a 350Z. This car purchase will be purely as a weekend/fun car so won't be my daily driver as I have another car for that purpose. I've been looking around and have found a car that I like in terms of colour but unsure about the price as it seems a bit steep so wanted to check in with you as you are all far more knowledgeable than I on these cars. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201805026145829 I must say it seems to have been taken care of, and having spoken to the dealer he did say it was in very good nick. I've checked the MOT history and nothing jumps out (OE53BRF). I've seen many others that seem to have been abused and have shocking MOT histories so this is why this one has caught my attention albeit it is a 2003 DE model. I also asked him if it was a GT model but he wasn't sure, it does look like it has electric seats and he said he thinks they're heated too and the steering wheel seems to have the cruise control buttons but he mentioned that it doesn't have the Bose sound system so unsure. Could it have been the base spec and then some options added but not including the Bose sound system? is the Bose a good addition? Also one final question, when I look at the seats, the drivers seat seems to have two buttons to adjust the position but the passenger seat only one, is this normal? Many thanks and would appreciate your feedback as unsure if the price is justified on this one (dealer won't listen to any offers).
