Jay Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I cant see any pics, but that does seem better on the price side of things. Azure blue is very popular in Scotland, all the folk up north have them Quote
martinmac Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 I thought the advert said it has cruise control. If thats correct it must be a GT. Dealers often get things wrong and just post up any spec they like so its always worth checking. Quote
Vik54 Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Martin/Jay, Got a feeling it isnt a GT i'm looking at...waiting for the dealer to call me back but made an enquiry through a friend at the company and he doesnt think it has the BOSE sound system or leather seats...doesnt sound like a GT was looking at this as an alternative...what do my 350z experts think of this! http://www.arnoldclark.com/used-cars/ni ... r/2005-(05)/ref/cc_snc9uzklgblfgj5d/ Welcome to the forum On the face of it that second one looks like not a bad deal....still slightly below average mileage - would want to check the service history and test drive it from cold Quote
madcat350 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Cheers for the quick replies guys...phoned the garage and they say that the Azure is an import which is putting me off, theyre sending me pics so will post them shortly Quote
Jay Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Dont let it put you off just because its an import mate, I have an import and havent looked back Quote
madcat350 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 dealers just got back to me...the black one is NOT as GT but has BOSE and leather seats. just need to compare and decide... 05 Azure IMPORT GT with RAYS done 42.5k for £11k or 55 Black with leather seats and BOSE done 30k for £13k inc 1 year autocare warranty still waiting for pics of the Azure...

350ash Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 If the black one has leather seats but isn't a GT I think it's either an import as well or the seats have been done by the previous owner. The only way to get leather seats from the factory for a UK car is to have the GT pack. If the black one is an import I'd say it's slightly overpriced but if it's a UK car with the GT pack then the price sounds ok. Quote

madcat350 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 confusion kicks in! what about the BOSE?...does that come only as a GT upgrade or this just an option regardless? Think I'll jump out just now and see the Azure before the dealer closes Quote
Chadwick Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 hi m8 ive just bought a 55plate import , i wouldnt let the fact it is an import put you off alot of the time an import is alot cleaner than u uk car as our roads are sh*t so if the car hasent been in the country long it should be pretty clean underneath , i still cant understand why 350z imports are cheaper because when i had a teg type r the imports are more expensive Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 confusion kicks in! what about the BOSE?...does that come only as a GT upgrade or this just an option regardless? Think I'll jump out just now and see the Azure before the dealer closes All UK cars have Bose ......... UK GTs have upgraded Bose, leather, cruise etc. Oh and Wel come Quote

Dealers often get things wrong and just post up any spec they like so its always worth checking. Yep, if the advert says it has cruise control, it has leather seats but they say its NOT a GT...sounding like an import and theyr not telling me? Just back from seeing the Azure and it looks fine, quite a few chips on the bonnet so would expect them to touch them up if I were to do a deal.....I really can't decide between the two Quote

HEADPHONES Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Enjoy zed ownership You're gonna have a great summer Quote
ATTAK Z Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 The big give-away difference between a UK car and a JDM car is the side on which the indicator stalk is: UK = LHS JDM = RHS Quote
madcat350 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Enjoy zed ownership You're gonna have a great summer enjoy zed ownership! I'm not enjoying trying to decide what one to get arghhh! The big give-away difference between a UK car and a JDM car is the side on which the indicator stalk is: UK = LHS JDM = RHS Black zed not available to view/drive until wednesday which might be too late! I'll need to question them more about it Quote
Jay Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 Its a real tough call mate, but i really think you should view them both and see what one is the best looked after and which one u prefer Quote
madcat350 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Am I correct in saying that if this 05 azure import was registered in the uk in 2008 then 1 years tax will be the daddy of them all at £400 odd? Plus as I've never owned an import I assume that insurance will be more expensive also???? whereas the black 55 plate 1 year tax is only 215 Quote
Jay Posted March 8, 2010 Posted March 8, 2010 You would get hit on the tax yup its a pain in the rear. But i havent payed anymore for my insurance just because it is am import Quote
madcat350 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 I'm thinking of going for the black assuming everythings okay with it...reasons being prob cheaper to run and will hold its value more than the Azure import...and will be easier to sell than the import when the time comes... Quote
madcat350 Posted March 8, 2010 Author Posted March 8, 2010 Kool well that offer still stands mate Cheers Jay will drop you a PM when I know whats happening. Cheers for all the comments and advice people Quote
