Zugara Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 313 BHP car , I assume because its an 09 plate the trader assumes its the higher spec engine. http://www4.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... ?logcode=p had a look at this car today, for anyone else thinking about looking, don't bother Something just didn't seem right about the car, The LHS exhaust tip was sticking out from the bumper about 2" and the RHS tip was lost behind the bumper. The engine bay was absolutely filthy. Paint work is full of scratches from a novice cleaner and sponge freak. http://www4.autotrader.co.uk/classified ... ?logcode=p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John tarantula Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 the figures might just be autofilled by Autotrader but not sure as never advertised on there? hopefully you saved someone wasting their time going to see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something, surely if it's an '09 reg it will have an HR in it? I would have thought that was a fairly safe assumption, or am I being stupid?

AK350Z Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Sounds like it has one of those "problem" K2 exhausts fitted, they were always wonky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 No bonnet bulge,just rang the dealer, and it has been registered as a 313 bhp, but I have asked them to send me a picture of the engine bay to confirm the engine. Nice wheels though. Tempted..........Must resist........must resist...... 313 BHP car , I assume because its an 09 plate the trader assumes its the higher spec engine.

WINKJ Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 its has 313 front bumper and lights ..... it must of had a mod to get the old style bonnet on it?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 It cannot be an HR engined 350 with that bonnet - period. A 2006 facelift ZED, registered in the UK in 2009 I would suggest. And the wheels suggest it is likely to be an import from Ireland, judging by what we have seen over the last 3 or so years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Nope, stock system. Sales woman, Katie was very rude on the telephone when i spoke to her on Monday. Asking "what" I knew about 350z Told her that i had forgotten more than she knew, then there was silence......... Then she informed me they had had loads of interest in the car so It wouldn't be around for long, I said to her, well you haven't sold it yet though have you. When I saw it today, there was the original price in the window at £14999. Hmm now reduced, seems they can't sell it atm........... Sounds like it has one of those "problem" K2 exhausts fitted, they were always wonky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zugara Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Imported from Ireland? Very interesting Colin, but the sales guy just told me it was a UK car, and not imported.

Zugara Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yep, but its not a 313 as advertised, therefore should reflect some difference in their price. That would look with a Nismo kit on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitstew Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Id say its a 2006 model which was sitting around for a long time before registered. For that money you could get a 313 convertible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Defo one of the Ireland cars. The GT4 wheels are the biggest give away, plus the fact it's a MY06 not a MY07. There is someone on here who is selling a black MY07 313 roadster and can't shift if at circa £12k so this MY06 is well overpriced imo..............

You see i'm the kind of idiot they'll get away with selling it to as a 313 until i looked under the hood at least. DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Yeah i agree with colin, looks like an irish one thats been hanging around. Did you find no joy with the orange roadster? Earlier post was right there was a stunning black roadster that was going for silly cheap money on this forum, then again we would be twins then lol.

AMT Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Easy way... if your on moneysupermarket.com... get hold of the regy off motorpoint, phone them or that, type in regy.. it brings up model but at the side..if theres power diff it will say (296)... or (313) etc. But I've seen that red one advertised many times and its been there for a while...and I mean... A WHILE... and as you did my eye caught the 313 and then the lack of bonnet difference. Be careful as motorpoint specialise a lot in import cars as far as I'm aware, had a few friends that have bought from them (in all fairness they were fine). Unless your sure and checked it all I'd be leaving it alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 Paul, walk away from the car now, you have already too many "nagging" issues in your mind. You know you'll find the right one eventually. Just my 2p mate as I see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted October 26, 2011 Share Posted October 26, 2011 +1 to that. Its been there for a long time, someone must have looked at it by now. Why is it still there? lol If your not happy with the service or answers your getting from MP and your heads full of doubts, walk away. Plenty others out there.

Zugara Posted October 26, 2011 Author Share Posted October 26, 2011 I wasn't thinking about buying it, not keen on red cars tbh, just thought i would post up to see what people thought.
