Jimbo Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Right not happy Guy whos selling said it was mint 1. Had a very bad repair with filler on front bumper bad respray and the light was all scew wiff basically no lines on the front were straight. 2. The front passanger side wing and door had been badly sprayed and this was very very clear it wasnt even a close match 3. Needed tax and a service 4. Had completely illegal rear tyres 5. Has lots of major Parking dings which wouldnt easily be banged out By now ive said no way mate you said it was mint and youve wasted my time he then instantly drops the price to £15000 Now im wanting to really the guy but instead left it well alone. This car is forsale on a forcourt in Corby for legal reasons im not allowed to say which as I was getting the car for trade money. But all who are looking keep well away, if its straight when you go to see it, it has a hidden past So im now back for looking for one any bargains to be had let me know.

GC350z Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 That is probably the best advert I've seen for a car. So many pics. Buuuttttttt it could be just me but I don't like the look of the join of the passenger fender to the bumper in this pic. http://www.pro-motors.co.uk/images-cars/32j.jpg It's probably just me being paranoid.

Guy On the right hand side you mean? Maybe, worth going for a look I reckon. He mentions that the bumper needs some touching up, so it maybe he's given it a tickle at some point in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GC350z Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 lol I'm a real paranoid bollox. Compairing the photos of the fender to bumper you can see the obvious gap but it could be put down to Nissan fitting. Doubt it. Drivers fender http://www.pro-motors.co.uk/images-cars/32d.jpg Passenger fender http://www.pro-motors.co.uk/images-cars/32j.jpg Another thing I think I can see is the suspension gap above the rear wheel on the passenger side. http://www.pro-motors.co.uk/images-cars/32p.jpg Drivers side view http://www.pro-motors.co.uk/images-cars/32l.jpg After my last car got hit a number of times over the years you could see gaps like this on both sides. Back on topic - Sorry the deal fell through mates. There's a lot more Z's out there. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Thats a real bummer mate. As the guys say, might be worth looking at Nissal Select/Approved motors. You pay a bit more but its more piece of mind I guess. I have just put a deposit down on a 53reg GT w/ 28k miles for £18.5k. More than I would have liked to pay, but it is a select car. Either way dont get disheartened, you will appreciate the Zed when you get one even more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Think I'm with you on the fender, but I've seen worse on new 350s (praying mine is OK when I get it), and it could be the bumper needs close inspection. Wheels wise though, the ground it's on isn't flat which I think explains the difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chesterfield Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Ive just found a panel out by a quarter inch on my brand new Altea, so I dont think its unusual to find slight imperfections - the shut line on the boot of my roadster was about 3mm narrower at one end to the other, and I know that had not had a bump - just typical build quality. On the plus side, having been over mine with a fine tooth comb, other than a few stone chips, there are no dents dings or dodgy panel fits at all on the coupe. Bought that through a Nissan dealer too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See cars for sale section on here. I know Phil thaks for saying ive seen your ad but its out of budget for me the max I could offer you is 17K really and that more than I wanted to spend and im certain you would get more for it than that if you waited a little longer As for the orange one, I have spoken to the guy hes a dealer down south he will take £16,600 for the car but it has had some repair work done on the front end unofficial like, HPI will not show it.

GC350z Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 haha I was right. Stay away from it. If the repair work is unofficial then its no good. Plenty more out there. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
