350z in Slough (my advice)

Just a heads up for those looking into the eBay listing below!

 

Thisafternoon I went to see a 350z in Slough from a dealership. See link below 

 

I went along with the intent to buy however just before accepting a negotiated price (£3200) I realised an MOT discrepency. The car failed its MOT initially due to 'dangerous' corrosion underneath. It then passed the MOT a day later. After dropping my pen (about to sign to buy) I went outside and checked underneath the central part of the car and pulled downwards. A large chunk of the cross member just fell into my hands.

 

If this is an easy fix for you then its a bargain as the engine feels good. Though I would be worried as to what else you may find once on a ramp/lift!

When you say that "a large chunk of the cross member fell into your hands" are you sure it was from the actual structural part of the car and not just from the "W brace" which is a common part for rusting on the 350Z and a fairly easy fix?
