    Is this a good deal?

    Once again thanks for all your help everyone I really value your advice!

     

    Do you guys know anything about how easy / expensive it is to replace a bearing? This car came on the market today but it has a little issue with it: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/214261327375936/

     

    If it's a relatively easy or cheap fix it could be a good deal considering it's a HR. The dark blue is quite nice too.

    Hi again, since you were all so helpful on that car I thought I would get your thoughts on another: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/517570479471508/

     

    Unfortunately after speaking with the owner of the car he's already arranged to sell the car to someone else, which is a big shame because I was keen on it. He was using his wife's Facebook account and she kept forgetting to respond to my messages so I guess I got unlucky. 

     

    But this one is a lot cheaper. It's also blue which is probably my preferred colour. 

     

    Would appreciate any thoughts on it :)

    I don't want to offend them by asking too low, but I will reference '350z owners who are more knowledgeable than me' and say they suggested 9k, with the intention of hopefully meeting them in the middle at £10.5k. 

     

    Looking at other old Japanese cars it seems that low mileage examples seem to go for a lot more than the high mileage ones so that's why I thought the price was reasonable, but I guess quite a few people disagree haha. It is 5 and a half hours away so if I go to look at it I feel like I'm pretty much committing to the purchase. I will try to ask the owner what I can about the really good points everyone here has made!

     

    I have to say from what I can gather it seems like a really good and clean example, and hopefully if I look after it I might even see a little appreciation with the exploding JDM car market. Maybe it'll help to cover the cost of insurance ;)

     

    But thanks to everyone for your help I wasn't expecting this many responses!

    Looks decent in the pictures and Mileage a plus. Remember that this is the high tax bracket so will cost you ~£580 to tax for the year but these are also ULEZ compliant i believe ;) 

    For that kind of money, does a 370z interest you?

     

    Good luck if you do decide to go for it. Start low, you can always go higher but if you go in too high, you'll struggle to come down :thumbs:

    A 370z definitely interested me! In fact that's what I was going to go for but insurance is really weird with them. For some reason I can get insured on a 350z for £500-£600 but insurance on a 370z is £3000+. Such a big difference in insurance price for not that big of a difference in car in my opinion.

     

    Does the car being ULEZ compliant mean I can drive it London but have to pay the £15 congestion charge per day?

    Thanks for the help everyone! I'm actually currently at university so I really won't be putting many miles on it at all. For half the year I'll be away from the car in London. And the other half of the year when I'm back home I don't drive it too much - just going to the gym and meeting friends. So I imagine probably 1k miles a year if that. I think it could be a good investment in all fairness considering how clean and stock it is so I'm going to go for it. I'm going to do my best to get it for 11k. 

     

    And it seems like it is an HR as I think I got a glance of the speedo and the redline seems to be 7500.
