witstu Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Well,the Suzuki swift sport has sold this weekend so im definately in the hunt for a Zed in the near future.Actually been to see one today locally and was after as many comments on its price.Its a UK spec non GT 2005 54 plate.Its had 2 lady owners.A genuine 13800 miles on the clock.It has 6 spoke rays all of which have the blue dots on still, there is slight scuffing to a couple of them.All the panels have the nissan bar code stickers so it appears to have all original panels and paint.The service book has 4 stamps in it which seems to verify the mileage.Its a private sale and they are asking £12,995 for it.I was initially hoping for at least a 2006 and in GT model but this low mileage seems attractive? The bose in the GT seems to get slated anyway and some people seem unhappy with nissan leather.It will obviously be 5 years old in Jan 2010 is this a problem? They are open to haggling on price,by how much i dont know as yet.What do you good people think? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 That sounds pretty good to me. Its getting harder to find good cars. The leather seat upgrade is about £500. The lack of the rest of the toys has never bothered me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witstu Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Is the wiring loom under the fabric seats so as electric/leather nissan seats could be fitted if a pair came up for sale at a later day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maccaman Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 The price for the mileage is probably right but high for a 54 plate (same as mine, so that comment hurts). It seems that a lot of buyers get turned off by a non GT spec, which is silly if you intend modding the ICE & are not bothered with leather seats. Offer 1k less & see what they say, at least then you will have an idea how much lower they will go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I have GT seats in a non gt car and whereas everything is theoretically possible the thinking is that heated seats are not worth pursuing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rog518 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I mite be going off the subject a bit so sorry if I am but why are the heated seats not worth pursuing? I am after a gt spec and am attracted to all the mod cons! Simple things but the heated seats do wonders for the farmers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Leather seats not heated Your arse would be frozen in winter I have had mine on the past week I have not got farmers though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 In my opinion, whether you get a 2005 or a 2006, make sure you get a GT if you ever want to sell it............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13vyl Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Hi Mate Seems a good deal to me I bought a 2003 JDM with 12900 on the clock 7 months ago, it was well looked after and with the private plate and now 14500 on the clock she looks like a new car still imo. If shes well looked after age means nothing even though its nearly her 7th birthday lol just my 2 cents D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeroy Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I have GT seats in a non gt car and whereas everything is theoretically possible the thinking is that heated seats are not worth pursuing. Martin, are the elctrical connections already in the floor in a non-GT ready to plug and play? I find the leather seats in the GT limit my headroom due to being a bit higher than cloth seats (electric gubbins) - I'm guessing that transplanting leather seats into a non-Gt will result in the same problem? Are there any mechanical adjustment options (ie spanner on runners etc) that may lower the height of the seats in a GT car? I have asked this question before but appreciate it's not an easy one to answer unless you've had first hand experience of swapping/adjusting seats Cheers, Leeroy...

Leeroy Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Martin doesn't have headroom issues as he has a roadster Fair enough the headroom thing may not be an issue, just wondered what he or others may know about spannering the seats, so to speak. This is a real thread hijack, sorry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witstu Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Dont worry Leeroy,im still waiting to see if any of the resident experts can answer the leather seats in a non GT question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Sorry bud, just noticed this. The heater doesnt work on the leather seats when changed over, everything else is plug and play. Not sure if there is much difference in headroom, I would suggest just sitting in a non GT car and checking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
