  1. Got both too. COD is ok, its very much like cod3 though.............................
  2. Only another 23 years for him to pay them off
  3. I thought the leather was decent to be honest, I actually used the cruise all the time and (shock horror) actually thought the Bose was good, but I will admit I'm an ICE novice. Plus the electricallly moveable and heated seats were great imo. Granted, i don't think I'd pay the premium Nissan ask for them if I was buying new but when buying second hand I'd never buy a non GT Yes but don't forget how old your gt4 was when you sold it, the seats would have still been in new condition. Take a look at most 04-05 reg cars now and you will see a bit of wear especially on the bolster+how many people now have sound systems which are playing up ie left side cutting out and are out of warranty. I personally do a lot of short journeys so i would'nt even use the cruise control, this is why the non gt suited my needs more. I agree but I'd still rather have worn leather electric heated seats than manual cloth ones
  4. I disagree mate - i'd still take the car at that. If someone told you you needed 1500quids worth of work doing on your car, you'd tell them to go f*ck themselves. And with zeds now - he'll have already lost a tonne of money on it in depreciation - he's not gonna just give in like that! Get it bought mate! Exactly my thoughts. Looking at the market, £8800 is well under market price. My last post was intimating that he has already reduced it according to the condition. he was never gonna take a phone call and then reduce it loads on the basis of what you was saying the RAC man said. £8800 is still very very good, and if he would take £8500 then even better. All of those issues are just usual wear and tear and can be sorted pretty cheaply.

  6. Will soon be better equiped than a gt Are you respraying it? P$ss off sorry

  8. Thing is, the car is cheap as chips already. A kuro GT with alezan and 37k for £8800 is very cheap and most probably due to the issues noted..........
  9. I think there are massive diffences in one persons "empty" and other peoples. Some people fill up when there is a quarter left, some when the light comes on, others when the ------ comes up. I used to do 500 miles a week in mine and 400+ miles from a full tank before the light came on was very hard to achieve even driving conservatively. I once, out of neccessity, did 360 miles untill the light came on and then 70 miles on the --------- but i had everything turned off and was riding the clutch downhill at every opportunity
  10. You forgot to mention. Dont crash the car on the test drive Sorry Merry Christmas Liam No,no your wrong. Crash it then offer them £5k for it Happy Christmas Dave
  11. Be friendly. be knowledgable to the point that your telling him things about the car/marque. Don't tell him your budget and if he asks, lie. Tell him you actually have the cash in the bank to do a deal. tell him you REALLY want it. be prepared to offer him example's of similar cars that are cheaper ( have print outs of ads if needed) be bold, don't be scared of offering him a lot lower than they have it up for sale. If he gets angry then that isn't the place to spend your cash. On the test drive, appear underwhelmed. Sales people look for "buying signals" such as enthusiasm on the test drive, willingness to talk about finance and how quick they could have the car ready etc. Deliberately drop these into the convo followed by lines such as " I wish i could stretch to afford this" etc etc. The key i find is to take control of the conversation.
  12. I can take it as well as I give it out don't worry
  13. Stick a proper intro up in the intro section
  14. Cool. I've just found a photo of mine similar to Verma's to show it should (all in my own opinion) look:
  15. Are they really needed?? I know sarnie's going to say HELL YEAH!! Look how far your wheels are inside the wheel arches Nothing better than a proper aggressive offset, 20mm you need i'd say..... Look at how much my Volks looked from behind;
  16. CS, sell Verma some spacers QUICK!!!!!!!
  17. Are the wheels the 17" JDM's?
  18. Maybe......although I was at a Nissan dealers on Saturday. They had a 54 plate GT, azure with 24k miles which was on the forecourt at £12k. That came down to £11.5k within about 2 mins. I think if I handed them my switch card they'd have done it for £11k. And that's at a Nissan dealer. I'd imagine that when the realisation that a new one can be had for circa £20k, the used market will start to reflect this. I priced up several over the weekend and at the moment it's now cheaper to get into a new one on a decent PCP arrangement than it is to buy a cheap used one on standard finance. Scary! But £11k isn't £10k I think you'll find the reduction of the cost of new zeds will only affect zeds about two years old or younger. the older zeds e.g 53/54 will continue to hang around at the £10-£12k mark. Its 07 onwards cars that were trading around £17k-£20k+ that will feel the initial hit as who would buy an 07 when you can get a 09 for around £19k..........
  19. I got told that supplying my own (higher spec) oil and brake fluid would invalidate my warranty
