wanta350 Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 What do people think of this one? It seems a hell of a buy: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p Quote
DoogyRev Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Does seem a good price.... will you be able to stretch to the Volks? Quote
Stew Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 I can't see in the ad where it says it's an import? Quote
Viper Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 i can tell you it was up for sale about 5 months ago, as i spotted it when i started looking for a Z Quote
Maccaman Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 That is one hell of a good deal, almost to good. Quote
coldel Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Seems a bit suss to me? Volks, Nismo exhaust? Can't see the cruise controls on the steering wheel, or are they not located there on the face lift models? But yeah it is an import but they havent mentioned that. Just seems a little too cheap... Quote
glrnet Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 2nd line from bottom I can't see in the ad where it says it's an import? Quote
glrnet Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Can you remember how much it was then? i can tell you it was up for sale about 5 months ago, as i spotted it when i started looking for a Z Quote
HaydnH Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 No heated seats (did the JDM import GT equivalent have this?) and why does the sat nav have a cover? I thought they didn't for that age? My 313 roadster doesn't have a cover for the sat nav. Quote
wanta350 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Posted July 17, 2011 wow, good eyes folks...I looked over that ad twice and didn't twig it was an import... Quote
coldel Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Rear plate recess is square but he has been a little sneaky and and managed to squeeze the full plate number onto one line... Quote
JetSet Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 No heated seats (did the JDM import GT equivalent have this?) and why does the sat nav have a cover? I thought they didn't for that age? My 313 roadster doesn't have a cover for the sat nav. Yeah, the latest facelifts don't have a satnav cover, so it could be an aftermarket unit? If it isn't then maybe the imports have a cover, which would mean it's completely useless. Pete Quote
Viper Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 i remember it was about 25 miles from my house, spotted it was an import so i moved on i cant recall the price back then Quote
Ricey Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 UK GT spec - mega cheap. What it is - spec'd up boggo import - reasonably good deal but not enough to be suspect in my opinion. Price might be through the floor to just get it slung - if previous attempt at selling was unsuccessful. Surprised its not a forum car to be honest. Quote
Sarnie Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 This has been for sale for aaaaaages. Awesome wheels though Quote
Ricey Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 This has been for sale for aaaaaages. Awesome wheels though +1 I seem to recall us mooning over the leather a few times and talking about the zorst and wheels with other potential purchasers! No one listens to us anyway. I wonder what happened to that guy who asked us if he should buy that car covered in snow and when we said it looked ropey he got really defensive......at that point it became clear he'd already bought it Quote
coldel Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Oh no! Crikey...causing problems again Ricey? Such a trouble maker tut tut... Quote
Ricey Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Oh no! Crikey...causing problems again Ricey? Such a trouble maker tut tut... Mate it was hilarious.......I was trying to be diplomatic but Sarnie just waded in with his size 12's and said 'come on admit it.....you've already bought it haven't you'. It was covered in snow, massive dents all over it, bits and bobs not working, all the wheels kerbed and a ruck of other stuff I can't remember......this guy was getting proper annoyed and told us to 'keep our comments to ourselves' Quote
coldel Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Oh good grief I was laughing out loud reading that...as the saying goes common sense isn't common...why post on here if you already have bought it and can see for yourself that you've been had Quote
Ricey Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Eeek - just realized that person didn't quietly disappear off the forum either! Back to the OP - I say its worth a look but be ware a few people appear to have passed up on it before now Quote
coldel Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 Surely there is a potential sticky on this, cars that have been repeatedly viewed by people on here - somewhere they can post up what they found to save others the trouble? Like if the ad clearly doesn't say there is a big dent on the car and you only find it when you get there...or the opposite, that in fact its a good car but not quite for you? Quote

Do a search and you will see that he has posted threads about bits broken on his zed every other day......

WINKJ Posted July 18, 2011 Posted July 18, 2011 No heated seats (did the JDM import GT equivalent have this?) and why does the sat nav have a cover? I thought they didn't for that age? My 313 roadster doesn't have a cover for the sat nav. mine neither - it does state on the advert that its an import, just snook it in ... as said earlier, second line from the bottom... 150% an import.. far too cheap!
