Thinking of going to have a look let me know

[The Bounty Bar Kid]

Dunno if its the photos or the car, but the yellow doesn't look right. Too faded which could mean paint not cared for.

[DannyBoy]

Can't quite put my finger on it but just not getting a good impression with that advert. For a start it doesn't have 312bhp (but lying about BHP seems to be some sort of unwritten rule in Zed adverts these days), and not a fan of the wrapped spoiler or the tacky-looking aftermarket shifter knob. Also it could be the photos but that doesn't look like ultra yellow to me (Edit: I can see I'm not the only one). Really not sure why you'd cover the gorgeous GT4 alloys in matte paint either unless you'd trashed them. Not saying don't go and look at it, because it's certainly priced about right, but I'd go in with your head screwed on because I just get the impression it might have had a hard life.

Its cheap for a GT4 with those miles so be wary but it could be a bargain

[spursmaddave]

The colour looks ok to me seeing as it is fairly dark pics and overcast

 

Strange the advert says 1 of only 76 then fails to mention this ones number

I thought that a bit odd too, surely you'd put a pic of the #plate thing?

Seems like a good price for a GT4 with those miles.

 

The ad states that the car has new Brembo brakes! Well the callipers are red (just painted? or rebuilt) and the discs look like the expensive DBA's (that's a plus) so could be another positive for the car. If the owner is an enthusiast (which I'd expect if DBA's have been fitted) then he'll know about the common issues such as cooling fan failure (which has been rectified according to the ad) and clutch line heat build up, banana bar bush replacement etc. Worth a look but well worth comparing it with others.....the gear knob can always be changed easily though

Are they Brembo callipers ?

The only issue is that its 120 miles from me. I agree with the paint it looks faded a bit or too light? The guy says he will do for 6k as needs new tyres? Does seem real cheap though for a gt4

[Diab2005]

The alloys are horrible on it to be fair but if needs new tyres I could get trye/wheel package from somewhere i suppose

Beavis will sell you his original (immaculate) GT4 wheels I'm sure

If that's a genuine GT4 and everything checks out, it's got to be worth much more than £6K IMO

[Diab2005]

Yea what's with the "Brembos"? Ive asked for the v5c number to check mot history but no reply hmmmmm. People are confusing me now do you think its a fake

[evilscorp]

They look like the gran turismo brembos not the standard ones(brown metal pipe at the other side of the bleed nipple) or aftermarket no name?

[superjoe66]

Calipers are not standard brembos and the disks look like dbas. Also running Michelin super sports so probably is well looked after. No photo of gt4 plaque which normally gets included in gt4 sale ads. Yellow does look pastey but could just be because of the matte black wheels. Which brings me to the question why do that to the gt4 alloys?!

[glrnet]

Hopefully it's just a badly written advert, strangely though there are no pictures of the engine bay If I'd upgraded the brakes I think I'd be saying a bit more about them, something just not ringing true for me but I'm an old cynic

[Ricey]

I don't see what the issue is.

 

Matt black alloys are cool as everyone knows and they go really well with a yellow car (has no one ever seen a bumblebee the originally trend setter of black on yellow).

 

DBA's tell me that they have definitely cared for the car as do the alloys.

 

Forget the BHP......could even be remapped for all we know.

 

Well worth a look mate.

[leonk]

Or if it's 122 miles away, asking someone on here if they would look?

[ATTAK Z]

Where is the car ? I don't mind taking a look if it's near me - PM me if you don't want to post

[sparky370z]

the wheels look plasti coated. hopefully.........

 

doesnt the log book say if it a GT4?

 

ask to get a picture of the plate. check the reg online.

 

saves a 240 mile round trip

[JetSet]

Ken has a database of all known GT4's. try dropping him a PM

[Diab2005]

Yep it looks absolutely awful haha iv told him i dont like them though and as i said willing to bring price to 6 which would give me cash to spend on wheels which tyres are needed anyway. Plus he says these alloys are NEW!

[Diab2005]

What is Kens PM?It's in swansea if anyone could do that that would be AMAZING!

[glrnet]

It's Ken

[Diab2005]

I am always stunned by just how helpful and welcoming everyone is on this forum it just makes me want a 350z even more (If thats possible)
