redheadordead Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 Hi All seen this 350Z on Ebay and just wondered if anyone knew it that coud help with history?

Ekona Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 It's illegal for them to sell to a regular person under 'trade terms'. No such thing exist, you are a consumer and that's the end of it, so it still has to be fit for purpose etc. Quote
AliveBoy Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) What are al-loy wheels?! Edit: and what Ekona said, they have to give you a three month warranty. Edited May 3, 2016 by AliveBoy Quote
tomzzzcattle Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 This car did sell at one point ( In an action on ebay ) The winning bid was £9700.001 But was shortly relisted for some reason. Perhaps you could ask them why, or even better keep in mind that they would probably except £9,500 for it and not £12,000 Link: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201532289889?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote
Luke0549 Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I asked him about this, said no paperwork at all and he wanted near 14k!! this was about 4 months ago. phone them up, ask for the previous owners details (will be on log book) and try get in contact that way. Quote
Ekona Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 (edited) Tbh, if they're going to try and be that shady before they've even got your money, then I wouldn't even dream of giving them a penny as can you imagine how bad they'll be once they've got it? Edited May 3, 2016 by Ekona Quote
Exec Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 I saw this on ebay also, looks nice but with everything, make sure to do your homework. Asking on here was a good shout though. Somebody might know something of this car, especially since its charged. Quote
KyleR Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 What are al-loy wheels?! Edit: and what Ekona said, they have to give you a three month warranty. No such requirement to give any warranty, never mind 3 months, that's simply internet rumours. They do still have to honour consumer rights, however. Quote
Ricey Posted May 3, 2016 Posted May 3, 2016 It's illegal for them to sell to a regular person under 'trade terms'. No such thing exist, you are a consumer and that's the end of it, so it still has to be fit for purpose etc. There is a way around it but it immediately makes you sound dodgy. You can sell perfectly good car on trade terms as 'spares or repairs' with no warranty and whilst someone could still try and argue consumer rights I would heard a guess any court would chuck it if they agreed to a spares or repairs sale. To me that immediately screams that the car is gonna give you grief. As said the 3 month thing is a load of old pony. Consumer rights trump all and within the first 6 months (i think) the burden of proof is upon the seller to prove the defect was not present at the time of sale Sent from my SM-G925F using Tapatalk Quote
redheadordead Posted May 4, 2016 Author Posted May 4, 2016 Ok cheers for all the replies guy's, and yes it does look nice but I will heed the advice and give this one a miss, plenty more fish in the sea and am in no hurry, again thanks for the replies Quote
jowen7448 Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 Was Brickyard red ever an option on a UK car? I don't believe it was. I know you could get in US, not sure about Japan or rest of Europe. Of course that doesn't stop anyone doing a colour change, it is a nice colour after all. Quote
JetSet Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Was Brickyard red ever an option on a UK car? I don't believe it was. I know you could get in US, not sure about Japan or rest of Europe. Of course that doesn't stop anyone doing a colour change, it is a nice colour after all. Only in The U.S.A from what I can gather and they were only sold in 2003. There are a couple of the very similar Interlagos Fire's about, imported from Japan but these would be on 06 plates I think. The interior suggests its a U.K car so must be a respray. That must be the shortest stubby.........ever Pete Edited May 4, 2016 by JetSet Quote

Annoyingly the more I look at that colour the more I like it but no way am I gonna justify the cost of a full respray to myself. Quote
JetSet Posted May 4, 2016 Posted May 4, 2016 As far as I can make out both Brickyard Red and Interlagos Fire are unique to the 350Z so goodness knows how much a respray would cost. Of course, it might not be Nissan's Brickyard Red, maybe a body shop came up with something very similar? Pete Quote
