C.J Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm now in the market for a 350z, and one on my shortlist is this one. I've spoken to the guy, seems like a nice chap, but the price seems pretty cheap for it's mileage. 46k MOT/Tax = October Last service = 2009 (so will need sorting asap) New clutch = 2009 Brakes/tyres are fine He's said there are a few scratches down one side, but overall in good condition. Thing is, it's 200 miles away, so can't pop and check it over. Anyone have any history / info on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I can't BELIEVE they are going this cheap! Looks like a bargain to me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, which is what worries me There are 10+ around this price, albeit with slightly higher mileage and FSH. I certianly have enough to choose from.

Lexx Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 There is a North East member just about to put his 54 plate car up for sale. (he put it up yesterday, but due to a Moderator (my) **** up, it got deleted. Should be up again by the end of the day. Not exactly sure on the price, but it has a few choice mods, and is a pretty clean example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my heart set on Gunmetal, and the budget is tight due to a current house move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railgun Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Unless its a real pain pal, don't be scared to travel. I'd sooner go that little bit further to get the one I was after. Looks like a nice example, but always worth having a look............or you'll always be wondering!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a nice example, but always worth having a look............or you'll always be wondering!!! Luckily, the travel doesn't bother me for the right car. I'm in York, and have travelled to Edinburgh, Bristol and Southampton for previous cars. It's more the price, with it being the same price as a Z with 70/80k, last thing I want is £100 on a train fare for a lemon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go down in the car with a friend/SWMBO and if it is good, have it, if not, you have a lift home Lovely day out Haha, I've done that with every car I've bought, and paid for my mate's petrol each way etc. This is the 1st time I've said I'll be a man, and do the train Seems like a good buy though...

cesc Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 FFS, that's so cheap! I dread to think what mine's worth as it's got double the mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Maybe someone locally will have have a quick look for you if let on the general location Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.J Posted August 3, 2011 Author Share Posted August 3, 2011 Maybe someone locally will have have a quick look for you if let on the general location It's around the W12 postcode. I'm thinking train to Kings Cross, then Tube to east acton should get me close enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 kin ell, i could have bought 2 of them for what i paid for mine a few months back. Looks like a nice clean motor, as others have said, if you can take someone who knows about zeds with you for a second opinion then thats a great help.

Robbo101 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Am in the market for an early (read cheap) UK manual car at the moment (see my previous threads). Ive been watching Autotrader for a good month or so & whilst I appreciate the mileage is low (too low ?), there are others - with admittedly higher mileages - going for £6000 & below (& even a black UK car on an 04 plate with 120,000 miles for £5000 - surely something dodgy). For my part Im going to wait a little bit longer as I can see even Roadsters going below £7000 as Winter draws in. Would be interesting to see how your purchase goes.
