Any comments?

[Sinco]

As I mentioned in the newbie thread got a holding deposit down on the below Z, going check out the service book etc and properly have a thorough inspection as had limited time to see it before.

 

Due to the level of expertise on the forum would really appreciate any thoughts/comments on things I should check? Appears to be an 07 plate but an 06 model as no bonnet bulge, is there anything as its an 06 model that I need to be aware of?

Looks alreet based on what can be seen.

 

Check in the guides for buyers guide and do the 'usual' checks for clicky axels etc.

Holy crap £10K for a 296!

 

Sod that. I'd want a 309 for that kind of money.

Typed this then deleted it when I saw that he'd put a deposit down !

[Ekona]

I didn't see that either

 

Ummm, I meant it's a bargain, good find! To be fair, it is main dealer so about right for the money, and if it's in perfect nick then it's a solid buy.

Looks very nice. Reasonable mileage for the year I guess. As Ricey mentioned check the buyers guide; http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/22880-guide-for-new-memberspotential-buyers/ and do all the usual second hand car checks. eg: make sure all the electrics work, check A/c works, inspect tyres, brakes etc etc. Hope you like your new Zed.

higher mileage granted, but not for a well maintained zed...

 

you even get yourself a sweeter sounding Scorpion exhaust....

Nice looking car, but as above its a bit over priced. even from a main dealer.

 

Try and get a years road tax and a full tank of fuel as that's over £500.

 

Theres a buyer's guide on here which you'll find very helpful . :thumbs:

Its a refundable deposit, deal isn't done yet. Thank you all for your honest responses, I hoped it might bring some negatives so I was fully aware. It has some superficial nicks as you would expect for a 6 year old car but will come with the Nissan care4 scheme, so two years warranty and MOT insurance and one years servicing which I guess is built into the price and should stop any large outlays in the first couple of years of ownership.Discussing with dealer tomorrow so will get the buyers guide memorised and get my best negotiation spiel going!

Nice car mate but your close to a good HR for the money

You won't get that on a lot of other cars, that's for sure.

 

Depends on how much you value that peace of mind and what your insurance tally's up to over two years.

 

Add that up and the price will surly become much more appealing compared to similar, cheaper cars.

It's only got 40k so seems a good deal with the care package above!

[keiran D]

As said above really, a bit over the asking price but with what's included the added price seems justified.

 

I made a similar purchase, 06 300gt and paid 9k from jaguar dealership. Over the odds maybe but with warranty and free mots and a quality service, they refurbished the alloys too.

Thank you for all your comments. In light of a proper look round the car I walked away from the deal. However happy that I have found a similarly priced and similar mileage 08 GT so very happy.
