:RedZed: Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 First post updated with fresh pictures after a recent wash.
r111nxx Posted September 16, 2014 Posted September 16, 2014 I can't believe you still have this! It's a great price and car.
:RedZed: Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Thanks, neither can I. It's not like I've been inundated with enquiries either and no one has come to see it. I'm still fairly certain "first to see will buy" as if you are in the market for a perfect example (and not just a cheap zed) then this is it. For any anyone who has considered the car but not got in contact, could you maybe drop me a PM and let me know what put you off?
r111nxx Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 It's probably getting to the wrong time of year to sell now too unfortunately. Keep it! You'll only regret selling it anyway.
GIXXERUK Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 it is only a small thing but this would put me off "Slight scratch on passenger door, could be fixed without respray by someone handy with a polisher" I would not want to buy a car for 10k and then have to look into having it repaired/polished..... if it's such an easy fix why didn't the owner do it before the sale ? does he not care about the car ? it creates the wrong impression imo It spoils what is otherwise a well cared for car, there are also no photo's of the scratch

I'd love to but we are trying to buy our first house and that's hard enough as it is! it is only a small thing but this would put me off "Slight scratch on passenger door, could be fixed without respray by someone handy with a polisher" I would not want to buy a car for 10k and then have to look into having it repaired/polished..... if it's such an easy fix why didn't the owner do it before the sale ? does he not care about the car ? it creates the wrong impression imo It spoils what is otherwise a well cared for car, there are also no photo's of the scratch Fair point. There was a picture, I must have removed it when I uploaded the newest photos. Maybe I should see about getting it fixed, it is the only blemish on the whole car!

Not dissing you're car at all, just trying to give you an insight as to how the ad appears from the other side I can delete my post if you like It's the only thing that spoils what appears to be a spot on car
Ekona Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 If I had the cash, I'd probably have bought this by now. God damn you house, sell!

I'll dig out the picture and put it back on the advert anyway. 1

Ekona Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Well, if it is then I think we could be having an interesting chat
WINKJ Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 this will sell... you just need to keep the thread alive, provide as much info as you can, be honest and someone will want it!
rabbitstew Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Lovely car, i still miss my twilight grey HR roadster.
zeddy addict Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 (edited) Have to agree about the scratch, even when there was a picture it would have put me off had I been in a position to buy it then. You will be amazed what a valeter can do with a little know how and skill for not much money he could get that scratch out. Had bad scratch on one of our dailies a few years ago, quoted for a bonnet respray by one guy then another came round and took the scratch out for £50! Brilliant job. Think it would make a big difference to your sale, I would definitely think why have you not had it done if it was that easy to do then you could get away with adding the cost to the price maybe? Looks a lovely car by the way, just think the car tax prices are putting people off these especially if you can't transfer the tax after 1st October, what a stupid law!

:RedZed: Posted September 19, 2014 Author Posted September 19, 2014 Photos of the scratch? Oh yes sorry. Here you go:
r111nxx Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I'd get it done before selling it. Probably only cost £60 for the full car buffing. You'll be surprised what they can get out.
Ricey Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Be VERY careful taking that out on Nissan paint. It's so thin it's not true. Wetsanding would be bollock clenchingly risky.
coyoteboy Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 TBH my dad just had something significantly worse (deeper, multiples, in a very similar shade) resprayed for £150 and you wouldn't know it had been done. Well worth getting fixed.
Siman350z Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 Nice example and the car I'm after- I think there are examples for about 1.5k more with no scratch to sort and around 40k less- I think that's your issue.
r111nxx Posted September 23, 2014 Posted September 23, 2014 I don't think the mileage is a problem to anyone who knows anything about cars, as long as its been well serviced and looked after. Personally, I'd save the £1500 and buy one with slightly higher mileage. 1

:RedZed: Posted September 26, 2014 Author Posted September 26, 2014 This weekend only - £8500 takes the car away.
Ekona Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Can anyone lend me £8500 until my house sells, please?
