waseem1978 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Hi Guys, http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2400831.htm I am interested in buying the above 350z if I can sell mine and wanted to know if the bronze 350z is a good deal. I was thinking I could sell my silver 350z with nismo kit for £8250 and by adding £1k to get the same car in bronze with a nice exhaust and lower miles. My car has done 68k miles. Genuine advice would be appreciated. http://i816.photobucket.com/albums/zz88 ... G_0312.jpg Quote
DoogyRev Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Looks a nice car .... you better hurry up and sell yours Quote
Sarnie Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 I'm struggling to see why you would want to do this? You'll be paying an extra grand to have a car in a less desireable colour that will be harder to shift than your imo.......... Quote

You'll be paying an extra grand to have a car in a less desireable colour that will be harder to shift than your imo.......... With less desirable interior also imho. Don't like the exhaust either, think the greddy evo2 looks better and sounds better and is a similar style. Quote
waseem1978 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 I dont mind the colour but I think black interior is best. The exhaust tailpipes look nice and costs over a grand. My milleage is clocked up and he has low miles. I noticed that 350z prices have dropped alot over the last 6 months I dont really know how much my one will go for. Quote

Or if you really want another one, spend a bit more and get a MY06 or a MY07 Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 only seems to put you out of pocket, if you want a colour change, spend the difference on getting your current one wrapped Quote
waseem1978 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks for the advice guys. Ive seen a bargain 350Z under 5K, I am viewing in half an hour. http://www.gumtree.com/london/25/71661925.html The women selling it seems desperate and in coming around mine to show me the car Quote

rtbiscuit Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 how much for a wrap? depends on where you go and what you have done, i'm guessing a guide price of around about a grand; but ring around, racoon have been use don here as has another whos name eludes me at the mo. something like KJ i think Quote
Woody Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Dont listen to them, its the best colour . But I dont see he point in trying to flog yours to get this. As Rich said, a wrap would be your best option Quote
waseem1978 Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 The red 350Z i viewed today was CAT D. Im only thinking of selling mine because I want one with lower miles as i want to keep it long term. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 the zed engine if well maintained is bullet proof. i cant see why 250,000 miles isnt easily possible out of the engine. 100,000 seems like high miles but i reckon the engine will just be runninng at its best; nicely run in by then. Quote

My engine is on just under 90k and got some VERY good results at Abbey Quote

The same car is listed here at twice the price and no mention of it being CAT D..... http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2286574.htm Quote
Ricey Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 The red 350Z i viewed today was CAT D.

Buying a new car, swallowing whatever depreciation on yours AND forking out cash for the sake of 25k seems coco loco to me. Of course it was CAT D?!! Who the hell sells a Zed for that price......I was surprised it came with an engine!! Quote
ray350gt4 Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 why dont you just spend the extra grand on a few nice mods for your own car. Quote
geoff-r Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 I would keep yours it's a nicer car. If you're happy with your current car just imagine parting with money to buy the same car in a different colour to unearth a horrible problem. Not saying it would happen but it would be horrible if it did. Quote
waseem1978 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Posted January 17, 2011 Thanks Geoff, I have decided from your comments to keep mine and save the money for mods. The first mod I have in mind is a car wrap. I have a few scratches on both doors and loads of stone chips on the bumber, the guy at the garage said it would be hidden if I wrapped the car. I found a wrap specialist in East London that said yesterday that he could wrap the car in any colour (exept crome) for £800. Now I dont know what colour to pick, I dont want somethink too flash just decreet but nice. Any ideas???? Quote
Woody Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 £800 is cheap. Does that include door shuts etc? If you want to stay subtle id say go. For a shade of red or yellow. Not too many around. As much as I love white, its been done a thousand times Quote
Ebized Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 You made the right decision about that red ZED. Remember you generally only get what you pay for. Here is the right way as regards wrapping and having had some done myself by KJ's firm, they do it the right way viewtopic.php?f=132&t=42694&hilit=wrapping Quote
jerry3167 Posted January 17, 2011 Posted January 17, 2011 the zed engine if well maintained is bullet proof. i cant see why 250,000 miles isnt easily possible out of the engine. 100,000 seems like high miles but i reckon the engine will just be runninng at its best; nicely run in by then. If its had regular oil changes, then it will be just fine! Quote
