  1. Admittedly convertibles are sure to sell better in the summer months but not increase in value If Roadster prices went up in the summer I'd be stock piling them in January (as the prices have gone down) and selling them for profit in June
  2. Not being funny but have you ever seen any cars for sale at the prices quoted in Glasses guide? The only thing that guide is good for is giving you a rough idea of the sort of price a dealer would pay for your car as a part ex. For a market price, you need to check on ebay, local papers and autotrader to get an idea as to the sort of price people are advertising their cars for. Even then that doesnt tell you what the actual sold prices are. £14k? Maybe... In the summer when I looked, the prices for 2007 roadsters at garages were £15k -> £16.5k with 25k on the clock. A 2008 should be a faction more, and the lower mileage should also increase its value. The biggest factor will be the time of year like others have said. Last year, from the figures I looked at, the roadsters were worth roughly 15% less over jan2011->march2011 than you would get selling the same car in June/July2011. I think what happens is over winter the roadsters seem to drop to similar prices to the coupe`s, then when its sunny they rise back up again and are more expensive than the coupe`s. People will still buy in winter as they know they will get the car cheaper. Its just a question of whether you will accept less and a maybe sale now, or wait until summer hoping to get more. Of course, the car may sell easier in spring/summer next year, but by then it will be 2012, and the prices may have dropped a bit more anyway. People say about the 370`s getting cheaper etc.. but people who want a 350 may not want a 370. I know im one of them. Roadster prices do not go up in the summer. Almost all cars depreciate. Roadsters may not depreciate as much as Coupe's in the summer but they still depreciate. Jamie is selling his car for £14.4k now, in 6 months time the car will be six months older and therefore worth less, not more because it is sunny. Only high end car prices will fluctate according to seasons. Anyone telling Jamie to keep it for another six months needs to think about: 6 months road tax: £200 or so Insurance: £300 for example Depreciation: £200 a month roughly x 6 Servicing, MOT's and consumables. Before you know it, it's cost you well over £2k to keep it in the 'hope' that you get a buyer in the spring.....
  3. I think your location may be the biggest factor mate, added to the fact that the Uk is just about to get covered in snow
  4. ...but in a non-incriminating sort of way... None of what I read was incriminating. He said that the GT-R left him for dead and accelerated away from him up to about 100mph. Nothing criminal about that, unless your the GTR driver.
  5. Much easier to just add a link for us lazy people? lol... Have you tried linking a thread from here on NS? The bottom line is that you only seem to post here to show us your mods, add to you build thread, show us your latest vids or a link to your pics that you've posted on another site A cynical person would say that it was self promotion or at best promoting NS. The fact that you can't be arsed to go to your thread on NS and copy and paste the pictures heres seems to back up that theory.
  6. Tim, if your posting pics in a thread on NS, why not just post them directly on here too? No need for one-way linking then
  7. How come it got removed mate? A link is removed if it is not seen beneficial to this forum. wow so why is the sleeping doormouse still on here then? is that not a little tenuios (can't bloody spell that word ) half the stuff that goes up on this forum is off topic and could be percieved as not beneficial, or its moved to the green room. I'm assuming it was a Nissan Sportz link
  8. Sticker is seriously tat
  9. Get it now! Sorry was being a bit thick. Its been happening alot recently. Went out for a wee drive last week after nearly crushing myself to death. I decided to park the car and nip in for a haircut. I waited over an hour in the barbers, finally had a trim, left the barbers and walked home. Got halfway home and realised i'd left my car in the carpark. Had to walk back down and get it I spent ages in the work car park looking for my Zed earlier got in a real panic then realised I was holding the keys to my other car Once when I had the Lambo, I stopped off at a northbound motorway services for a KFC to cure a stinking hangover. I got out of the car and had to cross the bridge to the southbound side where the KFC was. Scoffed the KFC and came out to find my car had disappeared! Major panic and even called the police and my tracker company!! It took about ten minutes to realise I'd parked it in the northbound car park of the services
  10. Not a bad price at all Really???? £9,250 for; - an import - cheap kerbed rims - horrible badges on the dash - tacky stickers on the outside - dodgy after market seats (You couldn't spec Alezan with Azure, hence why the bottom of the steering wheel and gear knob are black) There are UK GT MY06's out there now for this kind of money and MY07's aren't much more.....
  11. Vote for who you like......this ain't a democracy don't let chesterfield hear you say that, we had a heated discussion over this a while ago Biscuit wasnt you a mod? Did you not do a good enough job to get a gold name? Pimpin Pink is where it's at
  12. Aw c'mon, I'm probably on here more than all of you mods as it is
  13. theheff - Do you live in the Redditch/Bromsgrove area?
