ersen.o Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Guys i wrote off my zed about 10 months ago now and just got paid out 10.5k for it today im currently looking at 2007 facelift/vq35hr models what im wondering, is it worth the extra money? ive found good examples of these 2007 with 30k miles for around 13-14k whereas you can get an 04-05 plate gt for around 10-11k nowdays is there THAT much difference in the 2007? bearing in mind i already owned a zed for 3 years too, is it worth it?

Neilp Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 its the interior in the facelift that would sway me, this is available in the 2006 facelift 300bhp model aswell.. The interior is much more refined and of better quality plastic. As for the HR engine, i dont know as ive never driven, but as a passenger it doesnt feel any different.

James B Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Opinions vary. I've got a 53 and seen a few facelift interiors. It's a little nicer but not that noticeable in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacky Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I suppose it depends on what your doing with it. If your keeping it standard then get the newest car you can afford. If your going to toy with it, then buy an older car and save some money for modding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesc Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 With the facelifts you get the slightly more powerful engine, LED taillights, bi-xenon headlamps, different bonnet and a redesigned interior. The differences between the two are minimal, so if you're on a budget I'd get the pre-facelift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladesGrant Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 Get more out of re-mapping the 276 engine than that others so could save some money on purchasing and have it tuned so the power difference is even less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted January 6, 2011 Share Posted January 6, 2011 I like the updated interior and the front and rear lights on the facelift 2006 onwards model. The extra power the 2006 model has is largely negated by the extra weight it carries, it's about 75kgs heavier for some reason. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
