kennyc Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Just thought I should introduce myself I'm on the verge of trading in my Alfa GTV V6 for a 350Z 03/2004 with GT pack, silver, 9K miles for £22.5K. Does that sound like a fair price to you guys? This is from a main dealer and it does have an extended warranty to 2008 (January I think). Are there any common problems with these cars that I should be aware of (if you're interested I could let you know what the GTV ones are ). I had my first, short test drive of one this afternoon and liked it a lot. So if the dealer comes back to me soon with a decent offer then I'll be gracing this board on a regular basis! Byefurnoo!

Removed Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 not too sure about the price, low mileage and extra warranty I guess are worth something though Quote
M13KYF Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 which wheels does it have? Standard ones or rays. If standard ones I would go for another 500 off. by the way Quote
kennyc Posted May 9, 2006 Author Posted May 9, 2006 It's standard wheels....but I've just had a call from the dealer and we're a wee bit off on the amount I want for the GTV It's not over yet though, the search looks like it will continue! Quote
steve_b Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Kenny, Seems prices are failing now since the MY06 release. sure you will get what you are looking for, quite a few under 20k on autotrader Steve Quote
Digsy Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 :bye: Hi there! Enjoy the forum and get on board. There's a wealth of knowledge here (we like to call him Val) so don't be afraid to ask. Quote
Guest prescience Posted May 9, 2006 Posted May 9, 2006 Kenny, Comments above are correct, shop around and reckon to pay not much more than 20k ATM for an 03/04 GT. Its a really good time to buy now with the new model 22.5 is way 2 rich Quote
Jacko Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Welcome mate, Extended warranty is only worth £400 for a year on the 350z so don't let that sway you too much..... But as the guys say, shop around..... Quote
kennyc Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 Thanks guys. I've decided to do just that, shop around a bit more. The more I look the more I feel £22.5K is just a bit on the expensive side. Cheers, Kenny Quote
kennyc Posted May 10, 2006 Author Posted May 10, 2006 Oh one other question How much of a premium is the GT pack. Is it cruise control (I'll never use it) , leather, bose stereo and leccy seats? Ta Kenny Quote
Jacko Posted May 10, 2006 Posted May 10, 2006 Oh one other question How much of a premium is the GT pack. Is it cruise control (I'll never use it) , leather, bose stereo and leccy seats? Ta Kenny Yes that makes up the GT pack..... its an uprated Bose stereo (although the head unit is Clarion, branded bose). You get a 10 inch subwoofer behind the drivers seat. not sure how much typically it would add onto a 2nd hand car, probably about £1500? Quote
kennyc Posted May 11, 2006 Author Posted May 11, 2006 Just taken another one out today for a drive, £20K, Azure blue GT, nice and a decent trade in for the GTV. Got one more to look at tomorrow Quote
Marky Mark Posted May 12, 2006 Posted May 12, 2006 For everyone's benefit - I am only kidding as I know of Kenny from the SportsAlfa website (I have a 3.0 spider also) and both the GTV and the Zed are great cars. Quote
kennyc Posted May 12, 2006 Author Posted May 12, 2006 Hey Marky! Just saw your post on THE forum about your GT4. To be honest I really want to do this trade to avoid the hassle etc of selling privately. I've since been given a decent, sorry, acceptable trade-in price for the Cup so I'm getting closer! Quote
kennyc Posted May 13, 2006 Author Posted May 13, 2006 OK another question I've seen a 350z at Martin's in Winchester, seems like a decent price but there's just one thing bugging me about the car, there's a gap between the near-side headlight cover and the bodywork, I didn't measure it but had to be 3-4 mm more than the other side. Made me think of crash repair and I've not seen this on any other car I've seen. Thoughts? Quote
Digsy Posted May 13, 2006 Posted May 13, 2006 Avoid! There can be no good reason for that and there's plenty more Zeds out there. Quote
kennyc Posted May 13, 2006 Author Posted May 13, 2006 Point taken, I'm avoiding! Got 4 more lined up today! Quote
kennyc Posted May 14, 2006 Author Posted May 14, 2006 Sorted! Pick the car up on Wednesday, silver GT 2004, 3K miles with sat nav Quote
Marky Mark Posted May 16, 2006 Posted May 16, 2006 Well done Kenny - I'll keep the secret safe from the guys on the other forum Quote
