Neilp Posted August 1, 2011 Posted August 1, 2011 advert looks a bit generic with "front fogs" (doesnt have em) Solid paint, its a metallic Gunmetal... if the advert is genuin then id expect to pay around 8-8.5k for a car like that. Quote
balla Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 well ive been to see it and it looks good ive seen the nissan service history i just wanted some people who know more about it than me to have a looks. ive been looking for about a month and its one of the best ive seen well in my opinon lol Quote
DaddyCee Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 i'd do an HPI check on it firstly then pay for one of the recovery comapnies to check the vehicle over. It will cost you a little bit more but then you will have a little bit of peace of mind. Good luck with your purchase. Quote
M13KYF Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 i would advise you get a insurance quote. Can be high with your age Quote
ZedMeister Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 i would advise you get a insurance quote. Can be high with your age Was gonna say same thing, dont want to be disappointed further down the line. Any years NCB? Quote
EH 370z Posted August 2, 2011 Posted August 2, 2011 This is a screen dump of the CAP Value (albeit not that nice!) for that car, on the face of it the price is right I have also HPI'ed it for you too and there is nothing showing up on there either Text me your email address and I can send you a copy. NISSAN 350Z COUPE 3.5 V6 3dr (2003), 2004 04 , 34,000 Miles Mileage Retail Clean Average Poor 5,000 10250 8400 7975 7400 20,000 9675 7850 7400 6825 34,000 9150 7325 6875 6300 40,000 8925 7100 6650 6100 60,000 8195 6350 5900 5375 80,000 7550 5725 5275 4775 Quote
balla Posted August 3, 2011 Author Posted August 3, 2011 the insurance is quite cheap i think 1200 ok its probs more than alot of you pay but im paying 1000 on a 1.4 corsa so to me thats a steal. ive rang the company up and they are happy to go ahead with the policy so just got to get the car now. i am planning on doing a hpi check this week and i am a mechanic my self and im happy with the state the vehicle is in. i was just wondering if that milage seems ok and price for that spec Quote
stuRS Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 I was 20 when I got my first zed. Ring Bell.co.uk and get a quote, add old people to the policy (parents etc) and it can come down by 20% or more. They were the best by far for me. As for the advert, there's loads of UK GT models with low mileage for under 10k. Buyers market at the moment so take your time and get a good one. Oh - one last thing - double your fuel costs and budget £2000 a year running costs. Purchase price of car is nothing in comparison to running costs. I've spent over £4k on my zed in the last 6 months and it's no dog. Enjoy. Quote
Watshot Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 EH370z works for a Nissan franchise and has already HPI'd it for you and it's come up clean. It's all in his post above your last post. Quote
rtbiscuit Posted August 3, 2011 Posted August 3, 2011 i know of a good solid zed coming up for sale soon, which is newer and cheaper i think. pm me if you want to know more. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 IMHO, FNSH isn't really a deal sealer, considering how many stories we've had from Nissan Dealerships and shoddy servicing and general cluelessness Quote
Ricey Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Not a good price for the age mate - a good grand over the mark I reckon. We paid £8700 for basically the spec, history and mileage (27k on ours)...........12 months ago. Quote
Ricey Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Eeeek - sorry just noticed its not got leather either.........in fact its not a GT pack is it? Make that £1500 over priced I reckon. Quote
Ricey Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Fair play to you mate I've had a little searchy in your area and you have got some right crap for sale local to you! If you want my advice expand your search nationally (or at least to 100 miles). Ask local forum members to go and check on anything you find to see if its pukka. Bottom line if your happy paying 9k for a non-GT, 2004 plate car then go for it.........genuinely I think you'd be getting ripped off and you can get a lot more bang for your buck if you look around (or alternatively get the same spec but save yourself a couple of grand). Don't forget if your being put off by cars having no Rays ETC but they're a couple of grand cheaper you can always pick these bits up. Quote
BulletMagnet Posted August 4, 2011 Posted August 4, 2011 Isn't there a Blade Silver for sale from a member, GT pack and all for about £6K? Quote
balla Posted August 4, 2011 Author Posted August 4, 2011 right i have taken peoples advice and broadened my search and i have found this one would like to know again what people think about it. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p Quote
