Vik54 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Hoping to view a 350z coupe this weekend,any of you guys/gals want to comment on his valuation?

HAD 2 SERVICES AND IS DUE 1 NEXT MONTH. HE WANTS £14500 FOR IT. Extremely low mileage - how long has current owner had it? Ex Demo - may not have been treated particularly well check out list price on Glass - but think even with low mileage a bit overpriced...........especially if it needs a service - and it does need one regardless of mileage its one behind Quote
Anubis Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Get the service done on it and make sure there is tax too: £13.8k - £14k. You have to remember that although the reg plate says it isn't new, that to me sounds like an almost new car and should last you years if kept in good condition. Bearing in mind that it is now practically half price. You get what you pay for at the end of the day and to me that sounds like a good one. For £14k though, you'll be wanting it in pretty much spot on new condition as advertised. Make sure the kerbing is literally a tiny bit otherwise pull him up on it and ask them to knock a bit more off to get it fixed. Also remember that this could also be someone else's pride and joy - you wouldn't be happy if someone was taking the p*** and trying to get something for nothing, so to speak. Be reasonable too.

Maccaman Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 If the car is in as good nick as he states its certainly worth a punt. I'd definitely check out any touching up of paint, as it's ex demo, and a Vic says it's missing a service. Should be no problem though as its only done 10,000. Would have thought there was room for negotiation on price but depends on the seller & what interest he gets. Quote
martinmac Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 If its an ex demo try to get a paint gauge on it too. Quote
ctrconvert Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 can i jump on the bandwagon here too? JDM Fairlady Black Leather Interior 50km + 30k miles Tax and Mot due this week Curbing to all four alloys Interior in fine condition no issues No added extras He wants 9200? Quote
witstu Posted October 11, 2009 Author Posted October 11, 2009 CURRENT OWNER SAYS HE BOUGHT IT NEARLY 12 MONTHS LATER IN SEPT 06 WITH ONLY 35 DEMO MILES ON IT? Quote
Maccaman Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 So the garage didn't bother servicing it or he missed one out? Can't imagine the garage employee's didn't get to use it, like the sales manager. MInd you, if they never let it out on demo, the sales manager probably got the boot Quote

Sounds rubbish all give that one a wide berth then with the CTRs, getting a JDM was seen as the creme. Is that the same with the 350z? Really cant decide atm, any nudges in the right direction would be a great help Quote

Really cant decide atm, any nudges in the right direction would be a great help JDM's are fine but imo its harder to pick a good one as there are 3 or 4 levels of spec e.g some come with leather, some with Bose, some with Brembo's, some with 17" rims etc. Buy a UK GT and you'll know it'll be coming with everything Quote
ctrconvert Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 ok cool, ive got a bit more researching to do before i go out and start throwing some cash around. thanks for your help Quote
