lomoto Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 What should I be checking for guys, kind of AA checks should I get? It does not come with a warranty etc... I am just a little reluctant..... Any ideas....? Should have a warranty if your buying from a dealer? Quote
ptraynor Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 Its an import... Should I be asking for a warranty...? Its a reasonalby small company.... Quote
M13KYF Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 yes, its only a insurance cover in the end. Quote
lomoto Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Its an import... Should I be asking for a warranty...? Its a reasonalby small company.... If you buy any car from a dealer there is a warranty ,whether they say there is or not ..on that age car if anything major went wrong with it they would be liable for repairs up to about 6 months of your ownership...if they deny this sort of guarantee walk away and find another Quote
MarkW Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Lovely car, lovely colour For that price I would expect a decent warranty though, as you can get 2003 UK GTs privately for around the same money. http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/99894.htm http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/97230.htm Quote
ptraynor Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 They aint a Nissan dealer, but another garage. www.kennedycars.co.uk - Cant find anything on the site and I am just awaiting the guy to call me back.... Thanks, Paul Quote
Stew Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Nice looking car and I'm assuming from the location of the garages that you reside north of the border? I don't know much about warrentys etc so can't offer you advice. Welcome though! Quote
AndyC Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 P, nice looking Z, those wheels look good on the kuro Quote
burgershot Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 Lovely motor mate I was looking at one of McKay's imports a few weeks ago - but they didn't have any Black ones. He said they were pretty rare to get a hold of. So you're pretty lucky to have gotten that one - and at such a great price ! If you stay in the Edinburgh area - i will keep an eye out for you and give you a flash ! Quote
ptraynor Posted September 13, 2006 Author Posted September 13, 2006 From Coatbridge mate, but I work in Edinburgh..... Give me a flash if I get it (warranty and all other paper work permitting...).... Quote
Liam's Z Posted September 13, 2006 Posted September 13, 2006 ptraynor What wheels are they mate??? Quote
jim Posted September 14, 2006 Posted September 14, 2006 mate. I live in Larbert and work in Glasgow and Livingstone. Might see you on the M8. I don't see many Zs up here so I wave and flash at them all - some must think I'm daft! Mine's an import too. The Japanese auction standards are very high so the quality of imports tends to be very good. Quote
