rabbitstew Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 I think the fact the guy says its his wife`s car would put me off more than the mileage.... the last car i bought which was a "wifes car" was covered in scuffs and dents..

Maccaman Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 My second thought was, that is expensive for that mileage. I wonder how many 350's would have been sold if they came with that body & those wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 IS it only me thinking it's not actually the nismo kit on that car? "This is my wifes car and has owned it since 11/08. One previous owner local nissan dealer principle. UK 350z has full factory fitted NISMO body kit (very rare) , nismo stainless exhaust, nismo induction kit, 19" rays nismo alloys" What makes you think that, and given the first owner?

Sarnie Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 I have suspicions about it being his wifes car. Unless his wife ordered: A Nismo exhaust A Tommy Kaira rear badge Stillen intakes Nismo stickers Carbon overlay wing mirrors Aftermarket gear knob Those are mods of enthusiast, you'd almost expect the car to have been a member of here or NS......hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigger fool you for buying it then Not really, it was 2 grand less than it should have been as a result! In fact I could have sold it 2 years later for the same price id paid for it! I have suspicions about it being his wifes car. If I had a quid for every time a trader reckoned it was his wifes car, or his mothers car, or his daughters car, or his 90 year old grandmothers car then id be a rich man. I dont understand why they even bother saying that. Do they really think that would help sell a car? I guess its better than saying it was his 17 year old sons car.... Only issue I have ever found with lady owners cars is that grab handles are nearly always marked by long nails and rings And hand bag marks on the roof above the drivers door....

R35LEE Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 My GF knows a lot about cars now as she has had no choice but to learn. She is the worst person in the world at doing deals either buying or selling cars so she asks me to take care of it.... at least I think she asked When I first started seeing her she bought a Smart Brabus roadster (against my advice) and upon doing to haggling the guy named a figure and she just said 'Yes I don't mind paying that'. There was another £350 just about to come off the price before the said that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is the worst person in the world at doing deals either buying or selling cars so she asks me to take care of it.... My ex was brilliant with cars. Knew loads about them and I even taught her how to service her own car and change the brake pads etc... although she hated getting oil behind her french polished nails! My current missus doesnt have a clue about cars and even refuses to test drive them when we buy them. I have to test drive them and she bases her decision on whether to buy purely on the cars colour. So, the first time she ever drives a new car is after we have already bought it. Madness really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R35LEE Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I love how off topic this is Handbags are the devil. I have had heated discussions about what is kept in my GF's handbag and once poured everything out on a table to prove a point. It was unreal!!! There were coins from all over the world, a hefty face repair kit (makeup), umbrella (even though it was sunny), a huge purse with a fiver note and £100 in 2p coins, lockets and boiled sweets from the 1990's etc etc. I think we got it down to 4 items in the end and saved her getting a bad back and reduced my 0-60 by a good second due to weight loss.

Leeroy Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 This thread has morphed a bit In for a penny though - I think that one of the best things about the crap storage access in the Zed is that my wife doesn't seem to want to leave stuff in there Back on topic that white Zed is the nuts.....
