47k if it was a Nismo id consider without hesitation but normal Z that may be an ST trim judging by seats is still 12k above what our friends in Japan are paying. At a time when customs is lower than usual.

 

I reckon the white one sold but you never know.

I think who ever buys that car will  loose out big time when they go to sell it

 

Agree. If youre buying you have no intention of selling. Especially if its a Nismo 👀. Unless someone in South Africa wants it. No release there lol. They may be willing to pay more.

My mate has the rear wheel drive M4 with full carbon bodykit from aliexpress....4.0 GTS can be had on a cloudy winter day. Not all the time though. But if its not a GT4 718 PDK at 70k then not so sure even then thats R8 V10 and 991.1 Turbo S territory. Youd be the man at Z meets with the Nismo but youll never see that money again. 😂 

 

Anywho just got free access to pressreader with over 1000 magazines and publications. I can always dream while perusing the automotive section.

Fine if you like hairdresser cars 🤣

Best sign me up for a cut ‘n’ dry then, cos all of those seem more appealing than the Z.

Meh Over it. Get it cheaper used directly. Apparently no Custom Duty depending on which side of the bed HMRC wake up on. Nismos are going for £30,000 to £40,000 in Japan some are near new too. Add container then shipping costs. ST and lower trims are around £20,000 now. 

 

The following costs will be charged by the local agent when the process begins if you choose the Customs Clearance service.

Delivery Order (D/O) Fee: £85.00
Terminal Handling Charge (THC): £125.00
Wharfage: £40.00
NOVA Fee: £45.00
Total: £295.00

These charges will be invoiced with VAT, along with the applicable customs charges, prior to the release of the vehicle from UK ports. All costs are subject to standard VAT. Customs duties and VAT are calculated as follows:
Vehicles manufactured in Japan and shipped from Japan: 0% import duty + 20% VAT (Subject to HMRC Approval)

No warranty from Nissan UK, anything going wrong, you're on your own. Most likely insurance will be more expensive on an import (they'll claim parts more expensive blah blah). Probably more difficult to sell later as well. 

Give it 5-10 years, will be a different story. Right now the new Z doesn't have a lot of appeal considering alternatives for the same budget / power ratio.

I guess its always a risk with an import. But with so much aftermarket support just need the coin in jar or under the mattress if things go belly up. At least enough to cover an engine/Tranny replacement. We know that engine is from 2016 when the Q60 came alive! It depends on how picky someone is on a like for like part. 

 

62K thats for a Nismo right? LOL

 

There a company offering 3 Nismos. Grey Black and White should you wish to proceed it will arrive in August. Under 50k :D
