Lyndzzz Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hi all Apologies for the probable newbie question (and quite obvious answer) but I'm currently searching for my first Z. I'm on a really tight budget but also not in a hurry to buy. Anyway I've seen this: http://atsearch.auto...201324518628577 Not that I'm particularly interested in buying but it states it's GT. It has cruise control etc but cloth seats? One other question, I've also seen an import, looks really good, low mileage full UK service history etc but no import papers. My immediate reaction is to just leave it but wondered what you all thought. Thanks Lynds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Re the first one - I would suggest you Google the name of the dealer for any reviews that might be on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Stick with your initial reaction. Keighley Sports and Performance rang alarm bells, so did a quick Google search. Top of the list was this: http://www.driftworks.com/forum/other-chat/180142-keighley-sports-performance.html Steer clear Lynds (not only of the car, but of the dealer too).

WhackyWill Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I thought all UK GTs had cruise as well..This one has no cruise shown on the steering wheel, and no Rays I know Rays were an extra but most have them. My bet is its not a GT..!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 And yeah, Will's right, this car hasn't got cruise. (Look for 3 buttons on the right hand silver part of the steering wheel). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndzzz Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Thanks guys, I was very dubious anyway but always best to check. Like I say, I'm not rushing out to buy anything. I've got an MK2 MX5 so know how crucial research can be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 nope, thats not a GT. a UK GT Car has RAYS wheels, BOSE Stereo, cruise control and heated leather seats. This car has none of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Yep - it's still a buyers market and there are plenty out there if you are prepared to travel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilMH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I think, as said earlier, that Rays were an option, even on a GT car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14N Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I think, as said earlier, that Rays were an option, even on a GT car. +1 Either that or I bought a pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndzzz Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 I'm prepared to travel! I have to there's nothing for sale in the north east!! Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 We are here to help and as you can see no one wants to see anyone buy a "pup" so ask us anything you like when you look at the next one. Good luck with your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 If you're on a tight budget I'd carefully consider running and repair costs. Cars are getting cheaper, the repairs aren't. Best of luck with the hunt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I think, as said earlier, that Rays were an option, even on a GT car. +1 Either that or I bought a pup. Up to a certain year, then all GTs came with them. Can't remember the year, either '06 facelift or '07 HRs if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyndzzz Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Hi Running and repairs are not a problem it's just a tight budget because I don't want to pay anymore! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
