Now sold back to the dealer for 17.5k Please close this thread.

So oh wise ****ing one, how much should it self for? If the dealer is willing to offer me 17.5k for it then how much should I get for it privately? because I thought 19k was a fair deal.

Looks like this is going to the dealer then

You should remove those details from your original post. I did

Price reduced but also the wheels and exhaust have been removed from the deal. Any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

I am based in Colchester, Essex.

It’s time for me to move on from 350z ownership, it’s been a great time but I find myself driving my wife’s car much more than mine (mainly because of our son). I simply can’t justify having the car in the garage now Here are the details. A 2007 Temper Orange 350Z (313bhp) registered September 2007 but on a personalised 07 plate. GT Pack (250 watt Bose sound system, with 6 disk CD changer, cruise control, heated seats all the usual good stuff) Full Nismo Body Kit Nismo LMGT Wheels StuartB Tonneau Cover 350z floor and boot mats Black leather seats Air con Stability control Integrated Bluetooth phone system (steering wheel controls) Stillen True Dual Exhaust Stillen Intakes Full Body Paintshield (the first 350z to have it done). It will come with the plate MY 07 ZED (cherished plate). Sub 9000 miles. Purchased but not fitted. Braided Brake Lines Bonnet lifters I am looking for £19000 for the car. No outstanding credit on the car.

Yes, you will need a jack and torque wrench

TBF your mate is a hawaii shirt wearing lucky bugger and if he win's the GTR the same way will lose a lot of mates

I know exactly how you feel mate, am really gutted for you. I do hope any mods were indicated on the insurance form, don't want them playing silly buggers with you because it's not been noted.

TBH you can't go much wrong with the Nismo zorst. I owned one on the last car and loved it, saying that tho the Stillen True Duel I have on the new car is just as awesome if not better (it certainly put's a smile on my face )

It 'could' have been me, I live just up in Colchester... but I am not sure if it was (I go down the 120 quite a lot).

Thats what they said in 06 about potential changes for 07 OFC that could be because of the oil issues tho

It was the V1 when I got my car, apparently V2 has been discontinued and as far as I know V3 is only on the version Nismo car.

The thing to remember is that not all paint protection film is Paintshield film. I also understand that Paintshield is just the UK (European) arm of the company (X-Pel) and as such wouldn't be the guys who did the work in NZ. I highly recommend Paintshield and would never buy a car without it (I have had two done now).

I may as well put one up.

Tell me about it, even worse when I saw it happening.

I had to laugh at the description and price

Saw them on a car at a car rally once, would have to say that I wouldn't do it, it looked cheap and tacky (but that goes along with the whole 'get what you paid for' thing I guess) as well as causing issues to the rest of the chassis (door wouldn't close properly and knocked against the bodywork).

By all means confine my comments to the 'less useful' section but remember you asked for and received advice. I too will be interested in seeing what happens in the next 8 - 10 months (allowing you to get your finances in sync and then having had the car for a couple of months) and seeing whether your solution worked for you. Having been a member of a number of Z sites over the years I really haven't seen too many people championing the bike\roof rack thing.

In all honesty mate if you want to carry bikes etc around then you're probably better off with a different car than the Z, the Z isn't the most spacious of things, it's lardy rear end will be ruined by the addition of a bike rack and it deserves much more than being used as a bike carrier. The Z is a fantastic car but not suited as a transporter.

I agree entirely Nixy, it's funny I was asked via pm on the other site how I felt about it, to me it makes my car all that more special, it's now a very limited edition car probably more so that the UY. To me that's great.

Shame I can't get up to Scotland then, I love the colour of the car and in a way I am glad that they have stopped the colour, just means my car will be even more special.

You would be surprised, it's bloody lovely in the flesh.

What about your washer jet covers? Are they a good match to the bumper too? I guess the whole lot got resprayed when the kit went on. Front bumper was done by the place in Sunderland, rear parking sensors by Marshalls, tbh I haven't seen any issue with them. One thing I did notice with the paint is the difficulty there is in getting panels to fully match up, don't get me wrong the kit looks amazing but Orange in general is a poor colour to blend in cleanly. I was speaking with Tom from Paintshield who said that his two orange cars (Boxster and Focus ST) had issues with panels not matching 100%, it kind of depends where you're standing and looking.
