stanski Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Hi Folks Spotted this cheeky little Zed with its top off yesterday in Sunny Chorley. Question: Ignoring the cheesy number plate I am guessing its the proper genuine 07 job? Its got the revised interior and the codpiece bonnet - but..... look at the grille in the bumper is'nt that the previous model? Does'nt the 07 one have 2 metal slats instead? Old bumper fitted? Had a bump or is it an '07 model with a new bonnet? No new 07 models to compare against and salesmen were busy with Navara's!! Oh and Twilight Grey looks top! Quote
stanski Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 sorry it should say '06 model with the '07 bonnet? Stan Quote
stanski Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Looks like an 03 model bumper?? An '03?? Really ?? for £27K - are they really taking the p****!!! Maybe that 55 plate is genuine and its an '05 then? There was no sales blurb in it and it looked pretty mint - i,e the wheels were ok and no telltale damage to wings - from washing/ brushing past foliage on country lanes etc etc??? ?????? Quote
GC350z Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Could be an 05. Facelift was in 06 and that bonnet arrived 07. Quote
Chris`I Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Most likely an 07 with an 03-05 bumper. The lights, bonet and interior all point to 07, so why does it have an 03-05 bumper?! Could have been a crashed 07, but theres no reason they couldnt fit the 06-07 bumper, hmmmm....... Quote
GC350z Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 Agree with all of the above. Avoid. But out of curiosity go back and find out the story. Quote

Ebized Posted February 17, 2008 Posted February 17, 2008 here it is - registered June 2007 - PF07LCE: http://www.chorleynissan.co.uk/Vehicles ... html#Start someone has either nicked or crashed the front end and that's a temporary pre 2006 bumper above (note black reflectors)? But the Chorley site pic has the right bumper with what I guess is their personalised plate instead of the registered number. Quote
stanski Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks Guys - you dont think its an early change over model and they used up spares in the factory?? Well either way its a bit odd - even if it genuine why fit an early bumper unless it is crash damage and the muppets ordered the wrong (older bumper) Ok - I think I will walk well past this one - but next time I am passing there I will bob in again and find a suitable sales personage and ask the question. Thanks everyone PS After yesterday I am defo getting a ragtop though .....was still umming and aring if I should just get the coupe instead which looks drop dead .... and surprisingly more luggage space than I thought?

stanski Posted February 17, 2008 Author Posted February 17, 2008 Ohh EBIZED just spotted your post while I was typing reply - recon your right - someone has duffed up the front bumper - infact the shade does'nt quite match which I thought - well this is Nissan paint anyway, my sodding bumper paint does'nt match up perfectly either! Anyway very long strides well past it , £27K is a lot of cash for this lump. Quote

stanski Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 Only if they sign prenup Dare I mention Paul McCartney at this point? I'm sure he can afford a £27K Zed? Quote
Chesterfield Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Wouldnt surprise me if it was fitted with an 03 bumper from the factory. Ive seen a GT4 fitted with LED rear lights from new (early 05), and we didnt see those lights on the Z's in the UK until well into 2006. Quote
KS2006 Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 If you wanted to check if it was a genuine 313 pop the bonnet. 313's have the dual air intakes and as far as I've seen all previous Z's are single intake. Quote
Chris`I Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Wouldnt surprise me if it was fitted with an 03 bumper from the factory. Ive seen a GT4 fitted with LED rear lights from new (early 05), and we didnt see those lights on the Z's in the UK until well into 2006. From the links posted previously, it looks like it used to have the proper front end and now it doesnt. Both from Chorley Nissan site, here it is with the original bumper Has anyone spoken to them to see what the real story is? Quote
M13KYF Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Nice work Chris, As much proof as you could wish for I'd insist that it has the correct bumper fitted and ask why it has been changed. Quote
Chris`I Posted February 18, 2008 Posted February 18, 2008 Nice work Chris, As much proof as you could wish for I didnt do anything, the car was already linked to earlier in the thread, I just added a pic from the site Quote
stanski Posted February 18, 2008 Author Posted February 18, 2008 I'd insist that it has the correct bumper fitted and ask why it has been changed. I am not bothering - if they want to sell a car like that for £27K and probably not tell anyone then what else have they done? Its only because I am sad and have access to you guys/gals that I asked the question a common or garden punter probably would'nbt have been bothered? I will ask them only if I am passing by there again sometime - as we said earlier - its either had a bump and its a temp job or they ordered the wrong part ! I am not touching it! BUT?? If you could use that to knock a few more grand off and you had it checked out for accident damage etc etc .... They had 2x '06 Coupes there also - obviously Zeds are moving slowly compared to the roaring trade in Navaras they had going! Only dealers I have seen more than 1 Zed at any time? Quote
