zeddy addict Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Having to sell my metallic grey 07 DE roadster GT model with additions of parking sensors and factory sat nav. UK car, not import. It has full book pack, wallet. 2 keys. All usual extras like rays, Brembo brakes, Bose (works perfectly) ice cold air con etc etc. car is grey metallic with black heated leather (in case I have trouble uploading pics for now!) Japspeed K1 exhaust has now been replaced by a standard one and professionally fitted. Pictures now uploaded via photobucket link at bottom of page. Car has covered 35200 miles from new, 6 nissan services in the book, first one missing but I contacted the supplying dealer in Peterborough and it is on their records as being serviced at 12 months old at 9000 miles, I have recorded the date and exact mileage so it can be checked if required. I can send the book in and get it stamped but won't risk losing it! Anyway, it has been serviced 7 times in 7 years with invoices and check sheets present. Last serviced in Jan this year at 34500 miles. Hpi clear. Bought from a respected garage in Jan this year, this was to be my long term toy, having had 2 coupes in the past I have always loved these cars and had my eye on a roadster. Took some finding to get one as nice as this and so well maintained and loved. It stayed in the garage until April and was then taxed and has been fantastic to use in this weather. I keep it covered on the drive with tailored stormforce cover just to protect the paintwork from sun and birds! We have had to recently buy an estate as a daily runner and to ferry the dogs around, I couldn't find what I wanted from a dealer and the part ex was a joke so we bought privately. I can't afford to insure and run both cars plus we want to pay the loan back on the new car so the Zeddy still has to go. Good points: ************** Facelift model so has rear led lights, bi xenon headlights, interior upgrades. 296 bhp rev up engine. Totally standard car. Full nissan service history. Hpi clear.loads of old Nissan invoices and detailed worksheets. Clutch is light and responsive. All gears are smooth. 2 keys. Full book pack. Factory sat nav with DVD, very impressive. Factory rear parking sensors. Original Z interior mats with rubber overmats (yes, I am OCD) Immaculate paintwork, no dents or scratches. Wheels are very good, slight rub around the outer rim of front wheels but really very good for age. Best I have ever seen for original wheels. 4 matching Avon tyres with 6mm and 5mm tread respectively in excellent condition. No bolster wear on seats which have great support and feel like new. 2 stage heated seats. MOTs from 3 years old. Roof is immaculate, no rips or tears, fade etc. Works perfectly and is a work of art to watch. Bose works, air con nice and cold. All electrics work. Stubby aerial fitted, original available! Car looks and drives superbly, I am still using it for a fun drives while I can. I will be very sorry to see this car go. It has serious smile factor. 12 months MOT. Currently taxed. I have this car insured with Direct Line, fully comp for less than £200! Amazing car for the money! Always run on shell premium unleaded. Engine bay is immaculate, not steam cleaned just amazingly clean and well maintained. No leaks. Bad points. ************* A few small stonechips on leading edge of the bonnet, not much at all considering the age. Car has had 4 previous owners. Once I had seen the condition of the car and the history, every owner can be traced, this has not been ragged or modified, I bought it on condition and history not to mention mileage. Have seen one and two owner cars that were in an awful state, this car is immaculate and has been cherished. These roadsters tend to be kept and used as toys/3rd cars so do tend to be up in the owners I have found. Asking £8500 or near offer, that's a lot of car for the money! Lady owner, left this between categories so you can decide! Located in Hampshire between Portsmouth and Southampton. Viewings welcome but when I put this on Pistonheads a month ago I ended up removing it as I had people trying to scam me. Hopefully if someone is looking for a specific car like this they will look on this forum and it will go to a good home. I have nothing to hide, car is registered to me at home address and all paperwork is present. If you have fully comp insurance you can test drive, otherwise I will drive it. Any inspection, hpi/vosa mileage checks are welcomed. No part ex please, we have bought an estate car. Please note, standard exhaust is now fitted to the car and looks a lot better imho!

zeddy addict Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Any comments, positive, negative? Been trying to upload pics but they all come up as too big, maybe it's an iPad thing? Would a photobucket link be better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Seasider Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Mmm...I like it. If I thought that I could have 3 Zeds and keep my testicles - I'd be down there for it. Good luck with the sale - someone's going to get a nice car by the looks of it. You need to upload your photos to a cloud of some sort - like photobucket - and link to the pics rather than trying to upload them via the site. If they are still to big, you can resize them on there ;-) Good pics will help you get a sale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeddy addict Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks, prices are all over the place, no doubt would go for more on a forecourt but It's a private sale so I think it's fair. Although I am biased, someone is going to get an absolute steal here for the price, not one person has viewed so far. Will get my other half to create a photobucket link and add pics, I know they are desperately needed but I am useless at this stuff. Managed to source an original exhaust for it now too so they might help it sell. Thanks for your comments, appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeddy addict Posted August 7, 2014 Author Share Posted August 7, 2014 (edited) Thanks, still getting 'I'm indoors' to create a photobucket link. I have the photos on the iPad but they are too big to download. Should be up tomorrow on a link I am promised!

zeddy addict Posted August 13, 2014 Author Share Posted August 13, 2014 (edited) Hmmmm, pics up, reasonably detailed description....... No comments, good, bad or otherwise so far? Any suggestions, guidance would be appreciated. At this rate it will be going to webuyanycar.com. Can't afford to keep this and the new estate insured for much longer. Thought Roadsters sold well, certainly hard enough to find a decent one when I was looking?! Edited August 13, 2014 by zeddy addict Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 I'm surprised no one is interested but I think most people on here go for the coupes. Surely we buy any car will be an absolute last resort. They will hardly give you anything for it! I'd buy it off you at the price they would give you for it and just sit it on my drive as an ornament. Selling to them is a crime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeddy addict Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well the latest valuation was late 7k's which surprised me, but I have been told they never offer the full quote plus there is an admin charge on top of that. Not much different to what I was being offered in part ex but at least we bought the estate we wanted at a good price as we didn't part exchange in the end. Swings and roundabouts I guess.

r111nxx Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I've also heard they knock you down on price even further when you take the car. The guys are on commission to do this. They get £20 for every £100 they knock you down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeddy addict Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yes, really will be a last resort. If I need to I can garage her over Winter at a friend's place and just keep the insurance going rather than give her away to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Rather that than let them steal it off you. I'm sure you will find a buyer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeddy addict Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Had the standard exhaust professionally fitted back on this morning, looks and sounds a lot better. Hated the K1 and think it was putting a lot of people off, standard look is the way to go. japspeed K1 for sale now, will post new thread.

zeddy addict Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Emailed your website the details a few weeks ago but didn't get a reply but I guess you get a lot of emails. Thanks for your number, may well give you a call. Would break my heart to sell it to 'those' people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hoe much are you wanting for for the K1? I may well be interested in that. Is it very loud? for selling, I agree, standard is more appealing to people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeddy addict Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) I was amazed at the condition of the K1 almost new, couldn't have been on there long and must have cost a bit. I am a standard person really, don't go for mods and think it spoilt an otherwise standard and original car. Think it made the car look chavvy and it has a drone to it in the motorway which did my head in but then it is a roadster so it will sound loud. I prefer a back box too rather than 2 large pipes sticking out but each to their own. Seems very quiet now, had to check the engine was running but I prefer it that way tbh. The K1's seem quite popular though, if you like people to know when you are on your way home and like a roar when you accelerate then you will like this.

r111nxx Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Ha ha. My zed is only a weekend toy so I probably wouldn't mind the noise at all. I'd be interested if you have any pictures of it on the car. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeddy addict Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Have a look on the photobucket link taken when it was fitted or send me a pm with your email and I will send you some more. Going to give it a wipe over tomorrow and put it up for sale, it is in excellent condition. Not sure about courier though as it will no doubt get damaged.
