picking up a 350z this week, concerned about mileage

[Hughesie90]

Hi guys I've been in dialogue with a private seller over buying a 350z he states it's an import and it has the import shaped plates bumper mold etc, he's stating is has 65000 miles but on MOT certs it says odometer reading 101000 which im assuming is kms he's said it is still in KMs and a sticker has been put over th kmh has loads of Japanese books with it and has paperwork from nissan stating they couldn't convert it to Miles, why would this be is there anyway I can confirm it's an import without going all the way there and checking the engine code?

You need the import certificate - this will shows odo reading at time of import take that number and subtract it from the current reading

 

divide the reading at import down to get Miles and add it to the difference when imported that gives you true miles.

 

If WILL NOT still be in miles or at least should not be they add a circuit that converts it at time of import so the odo increase is in miles not k's

 

They should also add an alarm so it will have a fob as well as the key to unlock and an extra button by your right knee for the fog light they have to add for EU regs.

is there anyway I can confirm it's an import without going all the way there and checking the engine code?

 

Import VIN niumbers start with 'Z33'

UK cars start with 'JN'

think its called a JUMVEA certificte which confirms the km it had at the point its changed to read miles
