[ph 7]

Well it seems really cheap to me for a 40K midnight blue 313 roadster

Dunno - but that wing is positioned wrongly

[Daryl]

What is with the 'chrome' M3 esque mirrors and that rear wing? And the Ferrari badge on the numberplate. For the sake of £20 you would just buy some new plates if your previous car was a Ferrari.

[ph 7]

I think the ferrari number plates is worse though... but both of those things don't lop thousands from the asking price

[rabbitstew]

Very cheap indeed, from looking at other for sale prices, id have expected that to be around the £10k->£11k mark. The "glasses" trade in on that car alone is currently around £9000 at a garage. Looks like a good buy on the face of it, especially with good miles and 1 previous owner apparently. The only thing I can think is that its cheap because of the colour. Midnight blue isnt for everyone, most people prefer black or grey these days.

isn't even a 313 car , look at the dash in the interior pictures early car.

 

Just got a 313 bonnet fitted on an early car.

eh? looks pretty darn like the facelift interior to me. It also has the correct facelift front bumper.

Yeah thats face lift, metal coloured dials, slidey cubby cover on the centre, hazard light switch in front of the gear stick etc - unless there was another update after that?

[Wasso]

That is a HR, you weren't able to get a Revup in Midnight Blue, as it replaced Azure.

 

Unless he's gone for a full re-spray as well?

 

I can't see any reason for that car to be a Revup

It's a cat D according to my iPhone app

Ahhhh, mystery solved. Still, 8k for an HR roadster is a good price even for a Cat D. I hope someone rescues it and get rid of that spoiler and those god-awful mirrors, HR roadsters are like rocking horse poo so its a shame to see one languishing like that, lol

Found this

STOLEN LAST NIGHT FROM GAINSBOROUGH, LINCS. NISSAN 350Z. REG NO . R8 BPC. DARK BLUE ...

 

 

I don't believe that to be actually last night, but historically.

[ewan221]

Was tempted to find out more but puts me off when seller not fully upfront about insurance claim in the advert

 

It's actually cat C sorry and stolen/ recovered on 9 march this year.

[coldel]

Good detective work guys...shame the seller is lying through their teeth about it all.

[ewan221]

To be fair the seller strongly advises contacting him before bidding but still not same as being totally upfront

[Mark@Abbey m/s]

It could be a Rev Up as Ian said but cant be a 313bhp car as per the bonett fitted.

 

The HR car's had the Sat Nav on view?

[Wasso]

I don't believe this to be a Revup, you couldn't get a Revup in Midnight blue?

 

The Sat Nav is optional, so looks like this car never had the sat Nav and thus has the flap.

The early cars , DE and REV UP had the Sat Nav under the flip up cover.

 

The late cars HR had the Sat Nav on view all the time.

 

this is from the registration number;

Exactly what I was thinking, sat nav was optional so surely this just has no sat nav. It may be a stolen write-off, but I think it is at least a genuine HR stolen write-off.

[Wasso]

But what if the Nav wasn't taken as an option?

[Mark@Abbey m/s]

But what if the Nav wasn't taken as an option?

 

 

I thought all the late HR Zed's had Sat Nav fitted;

 

Even a base model car had Sat Nav I thought, I haven't seen a late model without Sat Nav.

Sat navs have always been optional and is still the case on the 370's, unless they are the special editions eg Black Edition.

 

To my mind the car is definitely as stated and I see he also has a 2006 coupe for sale that does have more question marks against it, IMO

What app do you use for that type of info?

My god, theres a lot of confusion here. Sat Navs were always optional. On my 2007 HR 313 Roadster, it was an extra £1400 over list price to get the sat nav. If you had the sat nav on a 2007 car then it replaced the cubby hole and the sat nav was visible all the time. If you didnt have sat nav you had the cubby hole. When I was looking for my car, and even now if you look on autotrader at HR cars there are not many around with the sat nav. I think not many people figured spending £1400 on a sat nav seemed good value compared to a £70 TOM TOM.

 

The interior of that car is definitely facelift. It looks identical to mine, bar mine has the sat nav. Same alloy trim on the knobs etc..

 

Not only that, its reg`d June 2007, which was when the HR`s first came out. Sure, there are earlier models late registered so just cos its 2007 doesnt mean its automatically an HR but its another tick in the "is it a 313" box.

 

Also, if you check the number plate, it comes up with it being registered as an HR 313 model.

 

Anything else? I think we can safely say this is an HR 313 model, and as per the Sherlock Holmes work on this thread must be cheaper than normal purely because its got a bit of a dubious insurance history.

Learnt something today then re Sat Nav thanks, it comes up as a 313 car when I do a reg number check.
