sipar69 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Would really appreciate you folks giving me some advice..... I reckon I might want to trade the current Z in for a Nismo in about a year. As a relative newb to car ownership and mods when I had my Stillen CBE put on, I didn't realise how important it was to keep the stock system, so that I could return the car to stock condition. I offloaded it. Dumb I know, but you live and learn Does this mean that a Nissan dealer is unlikely to touch the car if I want to part exchange it? In all other respects, I think it's a great car to sell on. It's unlikely to have more than 25K miles on it and I've kept it in really good condition (unmarked alloys etc) + plus it has some nice additions, such as illuminated sills and reversing camera. Just not sure if the exhaust is a likely to be a deal breaker with a main dealer. I know I can look to sell privately but that seems like quite a lot of hassle. I've also considered looking for a stock system to buy and put on the car before I trade-in but they seem few and far between. Be really grateful for your thoughts on the best way to approach this when the time comes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Its unlikely to affect a sale - however, you won't get any extra dosh for all those extras if left on it - thats why most people return to stock to enable a few extra quid on the sale of the removed goodies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WINKJ Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 trade it with someone on here for a stock system plus cash? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Simon, PM received and replied to: Preowned OEM 370Z exhaust in stock if required. As new and only covered a few hundred miles. Alex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do you reckon a Nissan dealer would still take the car in part ex with the Stillen on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioneabee Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 yep - can't see why not it makes it more saleable from his standpoint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 yep - can't see why not it makes it more saleable from his standpoint Thanks Ionbee. Maybe I was worrying unnecessarily. Will see what the dealers say when it comes time to change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Simon, they probably wouldn't even notice at Nissan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhackyWill Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 As Tarmac said a Nissan Dealer would not know what a Stillen exhaust system is if it bit him on the ass..!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sipar69 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Oh well you folks have made me feel more relaxed about it. Cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 don't worry about any mods, the dealer wont offer any more, but the stealers will advertise the extras to gain extra brownie points. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
