Sarnie Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 What you've been offered seems pretty reasonable to me.................when the loss adjustor is looking for comparables they will ignore the colour so will be seeing all the GM/silver cars available with similar mileage for £9k +/- I also doubt that they will be informed enough to know that the cars at the cheap end of the market are lower spec imports etc. I would expected them to offer you something horrendus like £6k. At least what they have offered you could get you straight back into a uk car of similar spec without you needing to put your hand in your pocket Quote
Beavis Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Sorry to hear this Steve, but i would not want a written of zed back either. Hope to see you back in one soon. Think the price is pretty fair to be honest. Quote
sunset350z Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 I was thinking of getting the car back to break for spare parts. Still got the fujitsbo exhaust and Hks sports cats fitted. Also the DBA front discs and ferodo pads all round which haven't seen more than 2000 miles!! There's always someone on here needing bits of interior trim etc,so i thought rather than the car dissapearing it could benefit other members as a donor car. Just an idea Quote
sunset350z Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 By the way, if anyone comes across a 2004 sunset z or newer for around the 10k mark, let me know please Quote
tmJak Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Think you could do with speaking to someone like R35Lee to see about breaking cars and getting your money back. Should be able to advise if it's worth it. Quote
Ian Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 TBH though that pprice is about what I expected them to offer you but I would still try & push for more Quote
sunset350z Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 Just been on the phone to my insurers, and basically they will review the offer if i can show them about 4 or 5 cars of the same age and spec to mine. So far i have looked on autotrader, pistonheads and ebay, are there any other places to look or not? Quote
jerry3167 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Sorry to hear of your settlement figure! One Z doors close, but hopefully soon another Z door will open to you! Good luck for the search! Jerry Quote
Chris`I Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Autotrader is probably your best bet as you are looking for the most expensive examples you can find. PH will be cheaper I would guess, so not the best. Not sure eBay has any examples? What about Nissan official used cars? They will be THE most expensive out there Quote
maz77 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 So far i have looked on autotrader, pistonheads and ebay, are there any other places to look or not? maybe exchange and mart. nissan dealers websites. what year and spec was your car? will point out similar cars if I come across any Quote
H5 Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Hi Steve, as has been said I'd try and get a bit more out of them and then start looking to see what you can find. If you can't find anything decent for that amount, use it as evidence to send to the insurance company to get the money up. There are plenty of decent looking cars for sale though bud, at least there will be the excitement of a new car. Quote
Danny 350Z Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 There's a few sunsets on here: http://www.motoring.co.uk/cgi-bin/searc ... 50Z&page=1 Quote
Sarnie Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 By the way, if anyone comes across a 2004 sunset z or newer for around the 10k mark, let me know please http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... gLetter=53 53 plate but the lower mileage evens out with the price, could probably get it for less than £9k Quote
martinmac Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 For once Nissans prices may be helpful Steve. http://www.vcars.co.uk/used-cars/displa ... t&x=47&y=6 Quote
stanski Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Hope you get things sorted out soon steve - good luck with the next Sunset Zed - we are all looking forward to hearing about it when you get one Quote
sunset350z Posted May 23, 2009 Author Posted May 23, 2009 Thanks again guys, as i've mentioned before my z is an '04' GT model with close to 80,000 miles on the clock. FSH and meticulously maintained. I'll have a good search this weekend, and send them an email with links of similar zeds for sale. Quote
stanski Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Just a thought? Is there any merit in maybe drafting a letter to the company from us (as in the owners club?) Surely if anyone can give an accurate appraisal of a Zed's value its this group of no hopers! what do people think? Who are the legal guardians of us Zed children?(mods?) Quote

Great idea but we may be a bit biased Nooooooooooooooo what us? It works with classic car clubs when you need to ascertain a cars value for Classic insurance purposes or to tell DVLA your car was built before 1973 to get free tax! Quote
BulletMagnet Posted May 23, 2009 Posted May 23, 2009 Why not get forum members that own sunset zeds to put ads into Autotrader at higher than normal prices and then take the ads down after a week.... prolly not the most legal way of helping, but you know...community spirit and all.... Quote
