Bockaaarck Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 HPI it and then phone him Good shout, no harm in doing a quick check and calling him. Does seem very cheap Quote
racinggreen Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Got my import on that reg 10 months back for £1700 more from a dealer. Quote
cerealuk Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Well it does seem cheap but then I got my sunset GT UK spec 54 plate with 40k miles on it for £8000 6 months ago.. originally was up for £9,250 but had some issues which were easily fixable so knocked him down to £8000.. I would say that for that price it could well be genuine but probably will need some money spending on it. I had to spend just short of £1000 to bring mine up to scratch.. but I figure £9000 is still cheap and I know a chunk of the bits are now brand new Quote
stevo1179 Posted August 9, 2010 Author Posted August 9, 2010 Whats sort of parts did you have to replace? Quote
cerealuk Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 The car had clearly been in a bump, nothing major but front bumper needed changing and a small bit of wing repair.. had it all checked out under the body and it was all groovy. Also seats needed repairing (but thats common), couple of interior panels and exhaust will need doing next mot.. (but good excuse to upgrade). No reported damage on the vehicle so doesn't show on any checks and I used OEM parts so wont be an issue when I come to resell it. The guy never told me about this and tried to say "oh it must have happened when the missus drive it the other day". Also there were a lot of paint chips but i got a guy I use to go round the car with a fine tooth combe and fill them all in. He did an awesome job So in short, at that price I would suggest there is something the guy isn't telling you, but thats not necessarily a reason not to buy it as at that price you could still spend a lot on it while still having a bargain Of course it could be 100% genuine and the guy just needs a quick sale...

andlid Posted August 9, 2010 Posted August 9, 2010 Go get it! DO the checks first and get a mechanical person do a once over. Be prepared to spend a little .. then again might need to do that on another car too! Go on take the jump and keep us posted on the progress. Quote

BladesGrant Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 I picked up my 53 plate roadster (JDM) with very low mileage (about 12k) last year for £10,250. Its never missed a beat apart from needing a new battery as the JDM battery is generally terrible. Apart from that I haven't had to do anything to the car. I don't think its that under priced to be honest. Quote
James B Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Seems OK but not an amazing price tbh. I paid £9,500 for my Azure (same spec, same reg) 10 months ago. Mine's got more miles on it (80k) but I got 4 new tyres and a major service, bearings and a major svs for the price. I'd say you should get £500 knocked off that price in negotiation. Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Seems like a realistic price to me. I agree, when i was contemplating a Z at the beginning of the year i looked at several around that price, and nearly bought a really nice modded one with everything you would want for a grand more. Quote
andlid Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 Hey bud Go get it! DO the checks first and get a mechanical person do a once over. Be prepared to spend a little .. then again might need to do that on another car too! Go on take the jump and keep us posted on the progress. +1 buddy Quote

I'd say you should get £500 knocked off that price in negotiation. just checked the link, am i going mad or has that price gone up by 2.5k? i thought i looked at this last night and it was at 7300 which is a steal. 9,999 not so much I was about to disagree with James B suggesting that 2k more for a car which has double the mileage does not make this car overpriced... Glad i checked the link again Quote
stevo1179 Posted August 10, 2010 Author Posted August 10, 2010 Yeah, gone up to £9999, bugger!! Quote
mattbowey Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 anyone rang to find out why the price went up? will ring him tomorrow anyway and let you know what is said Quote
