sunset350z Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Lindsey. You've got good taste The Sunset orange is a fabulous colour on a Z What budget have you in mind? UK Z or an import? Mileage? My personal opinion would be to go for a UK GT car, and as long as it has a full service history, and it looks well cared for, then the mileage isn't that important. I viewed a 2005 '05plate' with 72000 miles on the clock in great condition for 11,350 quid. I dropped him down to 10,600!! I think its still for sale! Decided to go for a late '54plate' in the end for 8,500 quid, although it had 80,000 miles on the clock. The car was serviced every 9,000 miles without fail. The car runs faultlessly Steve Hi Steve, Another poster suggested I got in touch with you as you had recently bought one. I do about 20000 miles a year so I was hoping to go low mileage but I dont really want to spend more that £12500. I am looking at this at the moment: http://users.autoexposure.co.uk/vehicle.cfm?Account=AETA14316&Style=2&Id=AETV65405677&Image=http://imageserver.autoexposure.co.uk/autoedit/AETA14316/AETV65405677_1a.jpg Appart from some of the photos have some dodgy lighting I was hoping to pop up next weekend and look at it in more detail. What do you think about it's spec and price? I will also take a gander round ebay I looked at that car, on autotrader i think, and have to say if i had been in a better position money wise, then i'd of gone to view that. If it was ok i would of snapped it up. Looks like a really good buy, but not fussy on the black wheels Would of used that as a bargaining tool to get the price down to below 12.5k. Buyers market out there, so assuming you think its the car for you then offer something like 11.8k to get the ball rolling. He might laugh at you, but he'll know that you are seriously interested and the bargaining will begin. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybird Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 I must admit I dont like the wheels but then I can always save up and get some newer ones or get these resprayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Have you checked out the two sunsets on ebay today? Ones a 53 plate with full nismo kit and all the mods in the engine bay (stunning), and the other is a 55 plate standard. Both with really low mileages and available for less than 12.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I think the 2 of them are great but the first one (53 plate) is just amazing with less than 12000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Its a hard choice between them on paper. You'd have to view both and look for the bad bits if any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunset350z Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Lyndsay, if you can, see if you can find another member on here who's willing to view any cars with you. If they are clued up they will know what to look out for. Two heads are better than one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
