Ozz Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Well viewed a JDM, couldn't take her out but she is very nice. The deal we've agreed and spec is: Orange colour 2005 18" wheels S spec with Brembos Sat Nav/TV (bonus, wasn't listed but prob worthless anyway) 6k 6 months warranty 12 months MOT 6 months Tax undersealed She idled perfectly, not signs of any problems. Very quite compared with my Supra V6, nice when you rev though. Can't wait, hopefully will pick car up in fortnight if all goes well.

Ozz Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 Good news! Cue the sleepless nights etc.... Hopefully not, only in work 2 days this week, then off to Toronto on Sunday for 5 days, then flying to Sudbury, back to Toronto then back to UK. Hopefully pick the car up on the way home from airport if not too tired. Can't wait! Only just fit in it though, feel nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything looks mint on it to back up the mileage, a bit of damager to the front bumper arch which they are fixing and 1 paint chip on the door which they will do and thats it.

Get a written confirmation that parts have been changed if necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbs Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Enjoy, but can't you manage to get more than 6mths warranty? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share Posted December 31, 2007 Enjoy, but can't you manage to get more than 6mths warranty? I got a good deal, its really cheap for an 05 so couldn't get anything else. Plus, gotta wonder how good the warranty's are from import - waiting to see paperwork but I bet there are loads of caveats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozz Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 Been doing more research on youtube, first review from Clarkson - he hated it! Watched the VBH and Tiff reviews next and they loved it! That is largely irrelevent as I have just confirmed the deal and paid the deposit - she's mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 clarkson doesnt like them , hammond does, VBH loves it, one of her favourite cars ever as does tiff clarkson moans about the sub thumping in his back !! i dont know how he can say that, the bose sub is weedy, my old vibe used to make the windows rattle...on the car next door ! clarkson doesnt like 911's so the zed is in good company as far as i'm concerned when do you pick her up ?

Ozz Posted January 2, 2008 Author Share Posted January 2, 2008 hopefully around the 14th. Gotta be registered, MOT, service and then she's mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
