Not a fan of these at all, they look like halfords specials

What vinyl did you use? Decent vinyl won't fade for years so guessing you used cheap stuff.

Maybe time to remove the wrap

Love the wheels! Get some pics up once on

You son, are a prat!

Used to have a VXT and it was great fun. Never felt as fast as I thought it should do but did handle very well.

Did you look at the turbo version out of interest?

I always love reading what people say about the motor trade when they obviously know nothing about it!

 

If you want to know just a little bit of truth.

 

general dealer markup is 20%.

 

there will always be more margin in a vehicle the dealer bought at trade rather than a customers trade in. If you can establish which it is you will have a greater ability to bargain with the dealer.

 

they are not trying to pull your pants down, they are making a living, if they were actually robbing everyone blind they would be retired by now.

 

Dealers pay 20% VAT on the profit they make. Most people dont ever think about this and slate the dealer for trying to make a fortune.

 

CAP and glasses are trade guides, they are prices often based on what a car would make at auction or a sale to the trade (especially CAP). Dont assume the value you might get shown is what your car is worth, its worth what the dealer is willing to pay.

 

Dealers do also get it wrong, more often than you might think and can loose thousands on a bad deal.

 

last but not least, if you think a dealers job is easy then give it a try yourself and see how many sleepless nights you suddenly have...

Calm down dear

Roadster prices are not as strong so in theory yes but you will always lose out as the dealer will pull your pants down on your car then sell you his at a higher price.

Roasters don't look right anyway. 370z roadster...now your talking

I don't necessarily think it's got owt to do with the size of wage packet, but moreso how long you've spent on the wrong/emergency tax code.

It obviously has to have some relevance to your earnings. If you earn £25k per year you aren't going to get a tax rebate of £70k are you??!!

Looks tidy. Is that ersen's car?

No, totally different. His has nismo v2 front and was a Uk 313.

I think this thread is going to turn into a "my wage is bigger than yours" isn't it. Surely it's a bit crude to talk money on these forums. Just my opinion of course.

Ideally. 600 for whole car, does that sound too low a budget?

I'll do it for £600...with a rattle can! Far too low for a decent job.

You may need a bit or arch work if lowered but should be fine.

Don't bother, you'll have to go back to the drawing board.

I've always been a PH fan but from chatting to friends recently ebay seems to do very well and is becoming much more widely used.

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought the site was going to self destruct in 5 minutes.

I would never leave my cars with a group of foreign (not being racist, just factual) car wash blokes.

He still has little or no driving experience so surely buying serious high performance cars is not the wisest idea for a genius.

If this is true, that is shocking for current owners. The second hand prices have to plummet on the newer cars mainly as you can always compare against buying a new one.

Surely that's not for a GT spec though?

Jap import so it's much better than the crappy UK spec!!

 

Really? I didnt know this. Please do elaborate....

 

Well my JDM came with full nismo system

Nismo anti roll bars

Nismo radiator

Nismo oil cooler

Not sure if these are standard Japan spec or if I was lucky?

 

Also square number plates that look miles better

 

Hardly any rust compared to the UK versions

 

8 - 10BHP more

So you bought a jap spec car with loads of extras. Means nothing does it unless you compare it to a UK with loads of extras.

The UK cars are a much better drive in my opinion. I drove a few jdm cars and the suspension setup just didn't feel right at all.

Sometimes when I use really hot water I can hear the paint go "ooohhhhh"

Come on what sort of a question is this? It's obvious that hotter water shifts the dirt better but not too hot so it doesn't burn your hands.

A modded XF, kind of like your grandad wearing Nike air max.

Just messing, are they off the XK?

All the best mate. Have a fantastic time.

Love the SE30 ^^^^

Provisionally SOLD to John180, keep the thread open until after collection which is due Saturday.

Everybody is incredibly gay around here these days............

:lol: All PM's replied to.

Nice Sunset!!

 

Being a MY06 is boggling my brain however as I thought Sunset was a MY03 colour??

Was just thinking the same thing...
