Right not happy :angry:

 

Guy whos selling said it was mint :rant:

 

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 :angry:

 

3. Needed tax and a service :angry:

 

4. Had completely illegal rear tyres

 

5. Has lots of major Parking dings which wouldnt easily be banged out :headhurt:

 

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 :scare:

 

Now im wanting to really :crutches: 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 :thumbdown:

 

So im now back for looking for one :thumbs: any bargains to be had let me know.

That is probably the best advert I've seen for a car. So many pics.

 

Buuuttttttt :dry: 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.

It's probably just me being paranoid.

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

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.

Another thing I think I can see is the suspension gap above the rear wheel on the passenger side.

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.

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 :D

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

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.

theres always our Oct 04 Azure UK GT pack with 7k miles as well.

Still on manufacturers warranty and next service paid for.

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 :thumbs:

 

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.

haha I was right. :p Stay away from it. If the repair work is unofficial then its no good. Plenty more out there.
