austin Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Hey guys i think i might have found the one i really really want. here it is: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1615296.htm UK car, 38k miles, 2 owners, FSH with P2 being last, fresh MOT, taxed till end of july ask the very nice dealer if he's driven the car and apparently there's no clicking rear axle or skipping bose, plus the car hasn't been abused. All for £12k The thing is im in London so its a 430miles drive up to Fife - what do you think? Maybe someone even knows this car? aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 There are a few owners up there who could give it a once over for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 is it defo a UK car? as the company selling it is an imports company. might be worth checking out. looks lovely though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 It looks like a UK car to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maz0 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Cant see it saying UK anywhere? might be a bit steep for an import :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 No, no, i especially called to ask about everything as the description in the website is rather modest. And the dealer confirmed its a UK GT Pack with FSH... He's gonna make some calls and price my C30 and I'll call him back later to see what kind of deal i can get. But boy, i like this one a lotttt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bounty78 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Looks like UK car to me..the number plate shape and headlight washers etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I've heard very mixed reports about MVM in the past...........I certainly wouoldn't purchase from them unless I'd seen the car and had it looked over by someone who knows zeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 I'll call the guy later today to see what kind of deal i can get and if i'll like it I think i will ask somewhere who's local if they could have a quick look at it. I'd hate to drive 430miles one way only to find out the car is a mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 As mentioned i'm sure there will be someone in the area that would view it for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 its only your opinion Vik - get along and give it a thrashing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Yer thats what worries me a little now - done some reading on MVM and there are some good opinions as well as bad ones, especially from the guys from Impreza Drivers Club. Will try to do some more digging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Chris Now that is a good deal!........same age - average mileage, newer seats and decent wheels..........though not sure if they're actually Nismos The Kuro one up here only has standard wheels on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austin Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Thanks Chris yup, i've seen these guys as they had a kuro not that long ago but weren't too keen on my c30 saying they'd have to sell it back to volvo and basically they gave me much lower p/x value than any other dealer, so not sure they will be more keen on it now lol. I think I'll pass on the one in Fife as MVM reviews seem to be quite bad all over the Net Just got off the phone with a guy selling http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201012355493227/sort/priceasc/usedcars/colour/black/transmission/manual/seller-type/trade_adverts/model/350_z/make/nissan/postcode/n134nt/radius/1501/page/1?logcode=p (sorry i don't know how to make this shorter clickable 'link' thingy) and have to say over-the-phone experience left me much more impressed. The car is nice too, fresh MOT and had P1 2k miles ago, in october. There are so many nice ones and so hard to choose haha aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
