I don't think i can afford all that! And there's no way on this earth i'm paying £1k for a satnav that can't do post codes!

I might conside the gt pack if i can haggle like £2k of the list price! Anyone else got decent money off new?

Am I correct in saying that if you go non-gt you dont get the satnav option-why is this?

On the options list it is a seperate item, so in theory you can have sat nav on a non-gt. (for just over a grand! )

I think i have "one owner from new" issues.

[How can you stand next to that and not smile

I know where there is a very nice black one for sale

I wasn't ready for the camera dammit!

I have a pic where i'm laughing with the dealer, but it makes me look a bit mental, so i left it off!

i have decided that if i'm having one, it'll be a new one. It appeals too much, don't ask why - cos i don't know!

Went down my local nissan dealers today for my first wee spin in a Zed. The weather was distinctly rubbish for driving a 300bhp RWD car, but i just took it (fairly) easy and all was good.

The coversation with the dealer was something like;

"How long have i got?"

"Hmm, Did you have a route in mind?"

"Not really, just going to follow my nose."

"Two hours long enough?"

"............ err, i think that'll be fine!"

"Here's the keys, have fun."

Put a good few miles in, and managed to visit one of my friends who has just bought a Clio R27. He was most jealous!

The Zed proved to be ballistic, and infinitely more solid and refined than other quick cars i've driven (just a 225bhp TT and my mates MR2 turbo to be honest!). Well, the Audi was well built, but it was like driving though a letterbox, the Zeds cabin is much more airy.

Enough raving, it will be mine - oh yes, it will be mine! lol.

I know the house, i bet someone's paid a fortune for that site! Certainly won't be "affordable housing!"

...Well not all bad but ended not so well

 

As some of you may be aware I was out looking at Zed's yesterday & drove 2...

 

A JDM Tiptronic one & a UK GT Spec

 

Both were amazing with the manual obviously being better & lots more fun.

By god are they quick...that extra 100bhp over my Cupra is SO noticable & the drive...absoulutley amazing...I MUST have one

 

That was the good bit the bad bit was getting home to try to sort the finance...cant get anything from anyone

 

The reason being that as I'm in a new job they wont entertain me for at least another 3 months (my probabtion period) which means it will be some time before I can move upto a zed which sucks big time & was a serious kick in the pants yesterday

 

Anyway doesnt mean I wont get one...just have to wait a tad longer...which might not be so bad because I could at least save some more towards it in the first place

 

Sorry just thought I'd share

Where did you try for your finance?

 

Just the usual...my bank, Sainsburys bank, Alliance & leicester etc.

 

Could have probably got the dealers finance but at about 11% no way I was even entertaining it when the highstreet rates are about half that.

According to my local Nissan dealer the APR of their finance is negotiable! Although i think it helps if you have a better quote from somewhere else.

Andy.

You buying brand spankers new Andy?

Hehe, with a bit of luck yes! I know nearly new would save a chunk of change, but a) i definatly want a MY07, and i'm planning on keeping it for a good while, so second hand value isn't that big a deal.

Oh, and c) i don't think i've ever seen a second hand red one (i bet there's one on ebay now i've said that! )

The gt/non gt decision is made though.

Andy.

Right then, i am just thinking of getting my finances sorted out for an eventual Zed purchase.

Obviously the options list is a litany of expense, but i quite fancy spec'ing the Nismo bodykit just save faffing about with bodyshops etc after delivery.

Is this a bad choice? Yes i know i'm paying through the nose, but the convenience is quite compelling!

I'm planning on a red non-gt as i dont fancy paying £2.3k when the seats are the only extras i'm interested in.

Cheers,

AndyK
