rednecs Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Hi I'm hoping to get myself one on these beauties soon and came across this one on ebay. Ticks all my boxes apart from higher tax rate! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111866358814 Does not mention any service history and seems to have an engine idling issue. I was wondering if any of you had come across this one before, anything I should be looking for in particular or any red flags! Not a big fan of the tint on the tail lights tbh, is it easy to restore this to look stock? Many thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a2orry Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 The fishing rod ariel gives it away as not being a forum car 11 out 10 pe0ple get rid of them . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 If the idling issue is £75 to fix, why doesn't the guy fix it before selling? Same with the cracked front number plate, "little mark" on the wheel arch and scuffed alloys. It probably needs a new battery as well considering the jump leads in the passenger foot well. Acellera tyres are budgets so I'd want to replace those. All the small things make me think that it's not been looked after... however I guess it could be a bargain if it was cheap enough to fix what needs doing and there's nothing seriously wrong. Considering it's a Revup (06, in between DE and HR cars) I'd probably try and get a HR or an older lower tax model. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looked interesting as is a Revup for DE money, considering the low mileage. As you say, depends on how much it takes to fix the bits and pieces. Main concern would be the idling issue. How much would new battery and tyres cost? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboy2 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Get a HR you know it makes sense. Found this lovely example for you ;-) http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/104351-silver-350z-hr-39k-miles/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Kay Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Is it also missing the front inner wheel arch plastics? Seems odd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they are just tear off adhesive strips, new back lights for the facelift are £300 or so. Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-89 Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 some fairly impressive wear on the seat bolster for a 50k miles car? If it seems too good/too cheap for what it is...... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
