threefiftyz Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 quick intro, always been massive fan of jap cars (currently 2001 celica, previously rev2 mr2) and use to dream of owning a 350 but now ive purchased my 1st home, am working towards gettin one on my drive.... been on the site a few months now and narrowed my search towards... UK GT Grey/Black ideally with tan leather >60k not bothered about sat nav as i'l be installing my kenwood dnx 7200 sat nav double din...on this note does anyone know if after market headunits work ok with the steering wheel controls? Ive just come across this motor and was wondering what you guys thought, is it a bargain or a sign of where 350 prices are heading? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p Saty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Its high mileage and an early car but its still a cheap price i think. Only way to know is to get there and drive it; listen for clicky axles etc and then make your decision on value for money. If your ask, someone from here might be able to tag along and give it a good going over with you oh and Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisS Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 to the mad house. As Husky said people on here are always willing to help. Might be a good idea to put your location in your profile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Welcome along, good luck with your search, Dont know if its a reflection or is there damage to the front bumper on the ad? It does seem pretty cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarnie Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Looks a bargain to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 On the face of it looks a good buy but do all the usual checks (especially for crash damage). Exhaust looks aftermarket (no rolled tips). Mileage is not high IMO given it is 7 years old, but the lack of full service history needs to be carefully considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Bonjour The head unit swap is fairly easy - there are steering wheel controls available - I have a JVC and I still have full control as I did before. Good luck with your purchase..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
threefiftyz Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 thanks for the warm welcome guys location updated: preston, lancs ive called this guy and left a message for him to call me back Welcome along, good luck with your search, Dont know if its a reflection or is there damage to the front bumper on the ad? It does seem pretty cheap been looking at zeds and their prices for a while now - i agree this seems cheap! anyways... ive called this guy and left a message for him to call me back - im unsure but something tells me this is too much of a bargain, i'l hopefully speak to this guy as i want to clarify the what "some service history" means, and also it mentions possible part ex....could he be a dealer?! hopefully update shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 Mileage is not high IMO given it is 7 years old, but the lack of full service history needs to be carefully considered. below average mileage i would say....these car are meant to be driven not sat on the drive way. my 54 has 74k on it.and i drive it every day.

lrh Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 ...im unsure but something tells me this is too much of a bargain, i'l hopefully speak to this guy as i want to clarify the what "some service history" means... Definetly too cheap, a dealer would normally have this up at £9.5k Missing history could mean it's clocked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
