Le Mans Sunset 54' plate 350z GT Coupe, 80k

Hello, and welcome to what I hope is a decent enough advert to sell my 350z.

I have now owned this car for about three years. This is genuinely the longest I have ever kept a car, because it has been utterly fantastic. I bought the car as a CAT D, and minus the service book, which the previous keeper had lost, supposedly in a house move. (Sounds like dribble, and I thought so myself until I met the guy – genuine isn’t strong enough).

 

Since owning the car, I have had it serviced regularly by an Aston Martin Service Centre, as I work with them. MOTd correctly and always serviced at the same time, although I usually perform an interim oil change as well in between services, particularly as this car managed a 3,200 mile round trip to Italy and back last year! (Faultlessly I might add). It has just had all NEW Continental Sport Contact 3s all around. I know these are non-standard, but the way the Contis grip is superior to the Bridgestones in my opinion. They’re more expensive too, so would seem a silly option to some.

 

Also just been treated to new Ferodo DS2500s front and rear... (They're so new they're squeaky and bedding in still).

 

I have been genuinely staggered by the reliability of this car, especially as, let’s be honest, it’s not been driven particularly softly by myself… It’s really not that sort of car is it, so I’m not going to say ‘One careful lady owner, all motorway miles!’

 

Ironically it has been my commuting car, so that wouldn’t be too far from the truth. I bought the car at 46,000 miles, and it’s now at 80,200. It really has been a bullet-proof little beast. Since owning it, I have fitted a few bits and bobs. Nothing spectacular, but listed below:

 

· Tarmac Sportz Side steps

· Central20 Front Bumper

· Nismo rear Spats

· Black wheels

· 6†Pioneer Touch Screen App Radio (With steering wheel controls still working) Also has Bluetooth streaming

· Uprated rear speakers and uprated Subwoofer (As you can tell I like my music)

· Carbon Fibre Wing mirror covers

· Carbon Fibre Engine Cover

· Nismo Gear knob

· Black Diamond Brake Discs/Ferodo pads

· Horsham Development Plenum Spacer

· Japspeed K1 exhaust with one bung in (If you’re that curious, email me…)

 

I know this has been a long old write up, but this car has meant a lot to me. I’m only selling as I’m going through a divorce, and need the money to pay the ‘ex’ off. Bittersweet that will be…

 

Buster and Mouthwash will both vouch for this car, it’s not a bad one. It obviously has a few little bits on it that need tending to, such as a door scrape, small cracks on the front bumper, and some lacquer peel, as well as some wheel refurbs. HOWEVER. If I get the asking price, I will have every single defect I possibly can removed from the car.

 

I will also service and MOT the car prior to sale, as it's due at the end of November. This is not a negotiation point, I'm just doing it. End of.

 

Also, Buster fitted my bumper for me, so we both witnessed the extent of the damage caused during the CAT D status. It’s got a minor dent in the crash bar. That’s it!

 

Price: £5,450

Mileage: 80,211

No finance outstanding.

 

Any questions, please ask. Located in Chichester, West Sussex

Thank you for the kind words bud.. Really not happy about this whoIe thing, but needs must :shrug:

 

I should say, I have only advertised the car here at this point in time, as I wouId really like to keep it within the forum. But it will go on Pistonheads soon if I don't get any real interest...

Lovely looking car buddy. All the very best with the sale, and hope it finds a good home. B) Out of interest, where did you find the boot mat, i haven't seen one with a raised profile before. :)

 

Thank you fella, I really don't know! It came with the car. It was one of the little things I quite liked about it! Maybe it's custom!!? :shrug:

Well, I was supposed to have someone coming to see it this Sunday, who sadly bailed on the day...But I suppose it wasn't entirely wasted as I spent from 8:30 in the morning machine polishing the car to within an inch of it's life...

 

Here's how she looked at about 12ish.
