Pimm Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 The car looks great in the ad. Is it a GT even though it has all the bits. This had been up forsale for a long time. Quote
Sarnie Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 The car looks great in the ad. Is it a GT even though it has all the bits. This had been up forsale for a long time. IIRC it started at about £15k, now its down to £10k........... Quote
R800NER Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 If this car is mint, it is perfect for me. Could anyone check it out because I was looking for a red Nismo 350Z GT (hiding in the shadows, researching) but this blue one is very appealing and has everything I would ever want on it. Why hasn't it been snapped up and why the massive drop in price? is it Cat C or something? I can't see anything wrong with it but I would hate to travel that far (I live in Oxford) and find something simple wrong with it as to me this isn't a purchase I would make in a while Any more info on this guys? Tazzi? reason for sale? Cheers! Quote

Tazzi? reason for sale? Cheers! Cars based in london, when I spoke to tazzi he said MOT and TAX was running out...I tried for a better price at the time and he said he couldnt do any cheaper...in the end I got a better deal and saved a fair amount of ££ to then spend on the Z the way I wanted it..also mileage on car I got was lower...tazzi was a bit slow to respond to any e-mails vm's I left too which put me off...

R800NER Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 This puts me off, I saw a thread from Tazzi selling a car on behalf of his cousin when I did a search.... is this the same car? seems weird that it is fully spec-ed up and it's dropped £5k below similar cars.... I am just very vary of being scammed these days and as I said, I am holding off for a great example so I would hate myself if I bought a car that had been in an accident or something. Does anyone know if this car is HPI clear? Strange how he couldn't go any cheaper and now it's really a bargain.. I don't mean to be mr investigator, but things just don't add up and I can't afford to make a mistake this big! Quote
Digsy Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 AFAIK this is his cousin's car. No idea whether he ever flogged his own which was also for sale on here. Quote
R800NER Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 This was the thread, where he was talking about another (or this one) Azure blue 350z GT with Nismo kit....so that would be the same car? http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16025 Quote
Digsy Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 hi guys the previous piston heads linked began to play up so Same car. Quote
RB84 Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 As a total newbie to 350's but looking to get one in the near future I'm interested too but had the same reservations as R8OONER. Btw - nice forum you have here! Currently on Cliosport.net as I have a 182 Cup Quote
R800NER Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I must admit, after showing the ad to a friend too... he thought it was a scam straight away (not meaning to be harsh), it's just too good to be true.... I mean who drops a third off the value of their car upon just selling it? I by no means an expert, but the Nismo extras must be worth £2500 (inc fitting) at the very least, plus wheels etc... I would love to be proven wrong and it would in fact eat away at me for many months if I found out my instincts are wrong here chaps. Ho Hum, my search for red/blue nismo kitted 350z GT is back on Quote
Digsy Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 It may not be a genuine Nismo kit and they are Rota not Nismo wheels but I take your point. However, I think another member, Erson, lives just down the road from these guys and has seen the car so at least it exists. I don't think its for me though. If I get another Zed I really need a blank canvas that I can then mould into my perfect Zed. This one has already had too much done. Good luck with the sale though. Quote
Jay Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I kno u said u wanted a red / blue one but wat about this white one dude? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/764573.htm Quote
Sarnie Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I kno u said u wanted a red / blue one but wat about this white one dude? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/764573.htm It really boils my **** that people advertise their cars with Nismo bodykits when they so obviously are not Nismo Quote
Jay Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Lol yeh i know what you mean but its a nice car mate! The thing that annoys me as well is beige leather when its called alezan Quote
verma Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Thats an import isn't it...I stuck with a UK model myself...and the seller had terrible service which is important to me...that put me straight off!! Quote
R800NER Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 I kno u said u wanted a red / blue one but wat about this white one dude? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/764573.htm White is nice, but again the advert puts me off "PROPER HEAD TURNER. " and it's a import Anyways, I am very tempted to get a 350z blank canvass... but not sure how much extra it would cost to buy, fit and paint a full Nismo kit + rota wheels (my perfect Zed) This blue one has all that, but the owner's lack of enthusiasm for a modified car puts me off, basic info is missing and that's noticeable even by a newbie (myself!) Quote
Jay Posted November 17, 2008 Posted November 17, 2008 Nothing wrong with imports bro! But yeh i do know what you mean about the lack of enthusiasm! Just hang in there the perfect zed will eventually turn up! Quote
Stew Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 Or you could take advantage of the lack of enthusiasm and get a bargain..... Quote
Jay Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 It is still on piston heads bro! Give the guy a call Quote
jim350 Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 cheers mate in the market for one of these now but neeed to sell my s13 Quote
Jay Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Put a wee message up in the newbie area dude and introduce yourself! There are plenty of buyer guides and other info on here! Any questions just ask, everyone is very helpful most of the time Quote
Zedrush Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 He doesnt live far from me if anyone wants tme to go and see it and check it out Quote
Digsy Posted November 19, 2008 Posted November 19, 2008 Yeah, he doesn't seem to be visiting here to often which seems a bit daft when he's had some interest. Quote
R800NER Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 He doesnt live far from me if anyone wants tme to go and see it and check it out Hi Zedrush, I would really appreciate somebody viewing it, because I still can't understand why it would be that cheap...more money than sense? Stolen? I have the money and wanted a red one, but this look perfect...except the price and lack of communication has actually put me off! I know this is a lot to ask, as to you I am just a newbie...but thanks to a work bonus, I can now afford to purchase a zed and it's just too far for me to travel as I work full time on the other side of Oxford!
