D350z Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Hi Guys, I've loved my Azure JDM so much I want another Z. I will have to sell my beloved Z and I'll probably just get £8k for her with 65k miles on the clock I have been saving a bit and I fancy a rag top. ex demo 07, 57 or 08 or new import considered. My second favorite colour is white but I'm liking the new blue with the light grey or tan leather seats. My budget is 18 - 24k. I would have considered the 270z (with a bit of a wait and finance needed) but I prefer the look of the 350z. Cheers, Damien. Quote
martinmac Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Some dealers were selling unregistered 08 cars for about 20k recently so the budget is fine. Just a matter of finding one, to my knowledge there is only one on here, Stanski. It does look good though. Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Might be worth calling these guys, in case they have this one available... http://www.jsholmes.com/detail.php?ref=702 Quote
Sarnie Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Thats a nice car Bit rich at £20k though...... Quote
D350z Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 I called J.S.Holmes this morning and it is due to go back to Nissan on Tuesday. They have had it on their forecourt for a month and not sold it at that price so Nissan want it back. It was probably a press car and is still owned by Nissan. I expect it will end up at another dealer next weekend. They wouldn't take my JDM on part Ex (Nissan franchise dealer policy) so I will have to sell privately. I can't list my car here as I've not got 50 posts on this forum yet as I was on the 'other' forum. I've now migrated here because it is better and free. So I'll put it on Pistonheads this afternoon. Cheers, Damien. Quote
Sarnie Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 The mods might make a consideration for your given how long ago you joined and your new found allegiance Quote
D350z Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 I think they might, but it is a good policy so I have no hard feelings. Quote
martinmac Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 I just found a night blue roadter, 08 for just over 20k before the computer locked up I will find it again. Quote
S1 HNK Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 a long way from you but the nissan garage in Northwich Cheshire had an 08 white roadster in the showroom last time i was there. Looks very Quote

D350z Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 Yes, that one is on my radar too. But as my current Z is a JDM they won't touch it as a part ex so I've just listed it for private sale: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/986134.htm I'm now in a race to raise the 8K needed to make the purchase of the Maidstone car. I'm so excited about getting a convertible Z I just hope my 'entry level' offering gets another newbie into Z ownership. Cheers Damien. Quote
NWZ Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 That £20k nightblue is gorgeous, I don't think it's overpriced - it's a GT with satnav! Must have been around £31k new! Quote
D350z Posted April 10, 2009 Author Posted April 10, 2009 Well, I put my 350Z on Pistonheads and I already have a buyer coming from Yorkshire tomorrow. So a sale within 24 hours is a result. £9 well spent. I will then have the funds to secure the 20k Z in Maidstone - V excited! Damien. Quote
martinmac Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Best of luck with it bud, we can never have enough roadsters on here. Quote
maz77 Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Well, I put my 350Z on Pistonheads and I already have a buyer coming from Yorkshire tomorrow. So a sale within 24 hours is a result. £9 well spent. I will then have the funds to secure the 20k Z in Maidstone - V excited! Damien. that would certainly be a result. good luck with the sale and welcome to the 350Z roadster club in advance Quote

I will then have the funds to secure the 20k Z in Maidstone - V excited! Damien. Is it £9 to advertise on PH now? Quote
D350z Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Yep for a posh ad with multiple pics it's £9 for 1 month. It's my first time so I think it is a bargain when compared with Auto trader. Quote
H5 Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Night blue is probably my favourite Zed colour..... Good luck with sorting one out! And I agree, Autotrader has been a waste of money anytime I've tried selling a car. Pistonheads and eBay seem to get the word out best! Quote
D350z Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 Z sold! It took 1 hour on Pistonheads to get a catch and within 24 hours my car has gone and I have a pile of cash. I have to wait for the dealers to open in the morning now. V excited! I have 2 Zeds on my radar at the moment. And then I started thinking... I can get an Aston DB7 or a Mercedes SL500 But I've come back down to earth for now. Quote
martinmac Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Result bud, that a really quick sale. Look forward to seeing some pics of the new roadster very soon. Quote
nixy Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Ha excellent! Hope you didn't sell too cheap! good luck with the search - keep us updated! Quote
NWZ Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 And with the Aston comes £££ servicing, never forget that - we all dream about DB's but the servicing will crucify us after cheapo "supply your own" oil Nissan servicing Hope you get that £20k night blue you lucky bugger..... Quote
D350z Posted April 11, 2009 Author Posted April 11, 2009 I've ruled out the Aston, I'm not old enough for one of those yet. A Zed is way cooler and it is far less likely to break down. My dilemma is the 20K blue roadster from JSHolmes: http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... 9329595868 It has more miles on the clock and no sat nav and is the same price as this one from Baileys Nissan: http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... 3331369809 I want to get the blue one but I think it is way over priced. How much more was the sat nav when the car was new? I'm not a great barterer but do you think £18.5k in cash is the right sort of target? Any help is appreciated. I'm not out to rip anyone off I just want to get the car for the right price. I need to use my head and not my heart. Quote
martinmac Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 The sat nav sells for about £1300 and is almost £1800 fitted by Nissan. Always worth a cheeky bid, you are a cash buyer so give it a go. Quote
sunset350z Posted April 12, 2009 Posted April 12, 2009 Wow what a quick sale, i bet you didn't have time to even clean it Good luck finding the right car and hurry up, the sun is out as we speak. Quote
