GT / Non Gt!?

[arow]

Hi , been lurking around here for a couple of weeks now, currently looking for a 350!

 

I have seen a nice low mileage 350 that I am looking at tomorrow which is apparently is a GT however after checking the reg on an insurance quote it doesn't come up as being a GT when other cars I have checked do show on confused.com as a GT. The seller assures me it is a GT - it has leather / brembos / cruise control.

 

Just wondering if a 350 could have all the GT extras and not be a GT!?

 

Thanks in advance!

As long as it is not an import - if it has leather and cruise then its the GT All UK cars have the Brembos

to the forum BTW

Can you give us a link ? ... you'll then have the full support of the forum to analyse the car in detail and give you lots of good advice

 

 

Oh and to the forum

[arow]

Thanks for the quick replies! :-)

 

That's a bit of reassurance then, it doesnt have the rays either which threw me a bit!

 

I will post the link when I'm back at my computer!

My GT didn't have Rays originally. I believe they were an option on the GT package.

That is correct ... they were a £1K option on all cars

[arow]

Yes I found out about the Rays being an option from here.

This is the one I'm seeing tomorrow, it's great mileage. Do you think they will budge on price (Should they!?)

Hugh, from 2006 on the 296 engine the RAYS were standard fit, it's only on the earlier Zeds, the 276 where they were an optional extra...

It's very low miles, look carefully at the service history to make sure it's been serviced every year and not just every 9k miles. I'd also get him below £8k or I'd be walking away.

If the service history is good, i'd say anything you can get off would be good, but the price looks ok to me

Bought mine 2 months ago, and its an 06. got it for £7500, but higher mileage

and its pre facelift which means you're paying higher tax for the older car.. which tbh is why the price was 7.5k

If you wanted the light weight rays I have set in the garage, I'm sure we could come to a deal

Put them up in the for sale section, i'm sure you'll have your hand bitten off for them.

Yeah I know Neil, which is why i knocked him down from the £8500 he wanted, and got 12 months warrenty included. Tax wasnt really an issue as I pay less than £240 for insurance!

Plus at 3k miles a year the mileage will soon come back in line

Fair play.. I don't mind paying the higher tax either. I pay it on a few cars anyways sons couple of hundred a year isn't gonna make a difference.

 

240 for insurance is good. Think I was about 550 this year.

:-( absolutely gutted, why can't sellers be honest. He assured me on the phone it was "absolutely immaculate" and "mint" (his words without being prompted)

 

I arrive today after £25 or so of petrol to find rust spots from stone chips on the front wing / completely curbed alloys / couple of small dings near the spoiler / scratch marks on door cards / low tread on tyres

 

....and he wouldn't budge on the price at all (not that I would have had it - unless there was a serious reduction of the screen price of £9K!!)

 

So now I'm still Z-less! If anyone sees anything interesting let me know!

 

(I want a pre face lift, as low mileage as possible, GT, ideally the grey / blue colour)

Hi

"absolutely immaculate" and "mint" (his words without being prompted)"

Made me smile

"mint" was one of the favourite words of Arthur Daley in 'Minders'

You get the message

To be honest 9k is a lot for any pre-facelift car. some people really don't know what cars are worth these days unfortunately

[arow]

I'm sure they have jumped up a bit recently from when I first 'Toyed' with the idea of a 350! Or there just isn't much available at the moment...

 

I saw a second one this afternoon, pretty much my ideal one - Gunmetal, Alezan leather, on 22,000 miles. However they have it up for £10K - WAY to much for a 54 plate in my opinion even considering the mileage. I offered £8.5 but they weren't interested (garage)
