adamd Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi everyone, I realise it's a bit cheeky just being a new member and asking for help, so please don't be too harsh. I'm here on behalf of a friend who is looking into a 350z, and currently has no internet. I'm also the resident car person, so I'd be going with him to check anything out for him. Main reason I'm asking for advice is related to this: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201220470587119/sort/locasc/usedcars/model/350_z/make/nissan/radius/200/page/13/postcode/ts260st/quicksearch/true?logcode=p Seems fairly cheap, no? I was wondering if anyone knows the car, or what peoples opinions are on this? It's a fair trek for us to go and look at the car, so any opinions first would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to go down the route of "if it looks to good to be true, it probably is" just yet. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to ask, but I thought as it was for new members, it was a good place. Thanks in advance for any help!

Zugara Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Not really, its got FNSH, and the chap wants the cash for his new baby, go and see it then knock another 500 off for a quick sale, as always HPI VIN check etc etc...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Zada Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Def Hpi. Dont know if its just a couple if bad picture but it looks like most of the drivers side has been repainted, and badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Def Hpi. Dont know if its just a couple if bad picture but it looks like most of the drivers side has been repainted, and badly. Hard to tell on the paintwork, often camera angles pic out panels differently on a Zed as with a lot of cars... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 The price for the car is cheap, but the mileage evens it out. Think about it, the most likely thing is that he is px'ing it against a family wagon and has been offered about £7,500 for it, and is chancing his arm on AT for a quick sale and maybe make a few quid back. Could be a bargain as long as the condition and service history stack up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 I just think it needs a damm good polish, and +1 on Daves comment Def Hpi.

mrt Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hi. Looks a good deal. I sold my dark blue 07 plate last july with 14k miles on for £ 13750. Mind you, it had frost grey leather seats and looked stunning.Black seats don,t look so good in my opinion but then it,s a matter of choice and practicality. rog ... mrt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamd Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 Hi guys, thanks for the replies. Haven't had a chance to go and look at it yet, it's at the opposite end of the country and exams have been getting in the way so far. Will let you know what happens.

adamd Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 OK, after a long wait, yesterday my friend finally picked up a 350z - but nothing like the one he was originally looking at. It's a 2007 300 Roadster, I believe owned a while ago by a member on here called drewbie? Still has the T20 DRU plate, and from the pictures I found in the Wales 2008 thread, all looks the same as it was then. Not sure how it came to be in this area, but there we are. Still has the K1 exhaust, Rays LM GT4 wheels, Varis front lip, carbon interior bits. Still even has the 350z UK sticker in the back window: I will try and get him to join and get some pictures up later on today, currently it needs a damn good clean so that'll need to be done first.

bronzee Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I will try and get him to join and get some pictures up later on today, Please do, we're always interested to see past members cars. Don't think Drewbie has been on here in quite a while, unless he's lurking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
