Sarnie Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 thanks for all the info and help lads... I have accepted £4755 today as i have fell in love with the car and like you guys advised the car was priced quite a bit lower than average so swings and roundabouts !!!! Heres some pics First time owning a turbo engine !! My best mate is already trying to talk me into a stage one remap and i think its working lol I may be on my own but I'd rather have your zed and £7k+ in the bank than that TT.............

spursmaddave Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 You are not on your own Sarnie, firstly you said it twice and thirdly I agree, horrible colour, naff wheels and well... it's a TT Enjoy your new car though who gives a crap what anyone else thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 +2 Sarnie Although, I did see a Scirocco R yesterday, now they look the part I had the 1.4tsi for about 6 months (the turbo and super charged version!) and it was a pretty good car. Would have one of those over a TT any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 As long as you like it, that's all that matters. Personally I wouldn't pick a turbo'd FWD scrabble wagon, but there's no doubting it's a much nicer place to be than the Zed is. Not convinced parts will be any cheaper than the Nissan though...

ioneabee Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 ..... turbo'd FWD scrabble wagon,... oh - hadn't spotted that - mine was a quattro ..... ah well, still a nice car and don't let the old codgers on here upset you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very suprised if Audi servicing was anywhere near the cost of Nissan.....two of my mates had TT's and could never get out of service without paying £450+............ Petrol savings will be negligible too, maybe 5 or 6 mpg........ Plus you have the added cost of the extra £7k it's going to cost you........ I just don't get it I'm afraid .

player2301 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Share Posted March 18, 2012 Yep all gone lol Had to scrape every penny together The colour is a grower I've had it cause you don't see them in that colour at all !!! Sahara silver - got like a pearl effect in the sun very strange !! Just like to be different Gutted to see the zed go but not fair on the little un when me and the missis wanna go out in it !!!

14N Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Hi Player 2301, do you still have the 350z? I'm looking for one and see you're relatively local to me. If you've still got it, would you take £5k cash before you p/x it for the TT? I have the cash waiting and could give it you this weekend? You can keep the plate too, as I already have my own cherished number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I tell you what, I can't actually believe that Zeds are trading for circa £5k now.......I think it's because I was involved with them at the start and spent £22k on my first and £26k on my second, it's hard to comprehend them only being worth £5k now............makes them a bargain now!!

rabbitstew Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 And we think zed prices are bad. I saw a mint 2005 RX8 with 21k on the clock for sale this week for a fraction over £2500. Imagine the part ex price a dealer would give you on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine the part ex price a dealer would give you on that? Indeed - although they're known for being even thirstier than the zed, less reliable and slower. Not the prettiest car either. £2500 is very very cheap though. 90% depreciation in 7 years is pretty horrific though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
