Hence why the cars have that handy little bolt on the front disc

No spacers needed for Rays or stock......well no spacers needed for anything other than to sort of the horrendous aesthetics of the stance without spacers!

When did you submit it? All for sale threads need to be approved so it's perhaps waiting for a mod to push the go button

Looks sexy! Pretty well looked after on the face of it

Sorry mate. Yeah that's what he said. I remember the RX8 shadow chrome alloys had big problems

massively different insurance costs. The cars are 'worth less' only by virtue of the buying publics phobia of them It would seem with those two statements you are only perpetuating myths you read on the web. I bought a zed not 6 months ago, i viewed many, jdm and uk cars, from ebay, gumtree, autotrader, pistonheads etc and from very real first hand very recent experience i can tell you, hand on heart, there is not a lot of difference between price and quality of either cars and insurance is a few quid here or there either way. It would seem you are selectively quoting what I've said to reinforce your point and to patronise me. That will not end well. I haven't perpetuated anything. I clearly said 'the general publics misplaced fear...... ' - nothing to do with my own opinion. But if you want my opinion I'll give it - I would never pay the same for an import as I would UK car. You know why.......because when I sell it I'll have to deal with the very same problem. Nothing to do with the myths that are attached to them. I can tell you after 3 years of these endless pissing threads and watching literally 100's of cars change hands.......Imports enlarge sell for less. Period. The fact you paid full whack for one is the exception to the 'enlarge' that I've caveated that statement with. The fact is that MOST people who buy cars are ill informed about the so called foibles of an import and as such will not buy or will pay less for an import. It's no coincidence that 10 of the 15 lowest priced zed's in the country on autotrader are imports. Firstly i would hope the, it will not end well, is not some kind of threat? I have tried to keep opinion far from this and just tried to present the topic with facts, which just support my recent findings. I am not talking about 3, 2 or 1 years worth ago, i am talking about now, recent times from first hand experience of buying and looking at a fair few zeds. The insurance topic has been well discussed and most peoples findings are not as you say, massively different, as long as a decent insurer is contacted. I will not disagree, imports can and will be found cheaper than uk, but, spec on those is usually far lower than uk, no brembos, poor alloys. I would also suggest the public doesnt have a misplaced fear or there would simply be no import market, but that is personal opinion of course. I have no idea why you think i paid full whack for my jdm when you have no idea what i paid, personally i thought it was a positive bargain with mileage, spec, history and extras Threat? only if you fancy hiding behind a keyboard. I'll be behind mine. I doubt were gonna agree on this so perhaps it's best left but I wills say this fella.......... the public in general are thick, dull as dishwater. They want to be scared of everything. They love reading about the horrors of everything and they fall in line like the sheep that they are. You can't possibly say they don't have misconceptions when your own words said that this is the 2nd thread of this type this week alone. I mean you got a bargain.......@*!# hot negotiation? Or perhaps because it was a JDM and the guy was finding it hard to shift.

Work everytime I tell thee!

Never Yet I (and the rest of the car buying world) know that an import will usually always sell cheaper than UK because of the general publics misplaced fear of 'grey history' and massively different insurance costs. The cars are 'worth less' only by virtue of the buying publics phobia of them........bottom line is that if you give Joe Average a choice of 6.5k JDM or an identically spec'd UK for 7k and he'll buy the UK car.

.......and the will get you the nod from Corsa SXi 'Ripspeed Edition' drivers

Shouldn't hang around long at that price.

JDM's are cheaper because of this exact conversation. Except 90% of the people that buy them don't have this conversation......they just suck air through their teeth and say 'mate I can't meet what you asking.....it's an import see. No one wants em these days' (preferably with a cockney accent)

Also if you have an ultimate reward current account with halifax you may be covered. It's chocked full of cover for all sorts of stuff

What about that matte black one that's for sale a few threads down?

Harder to sell in a tough market. Marginally more expensive to insure Stock exhaust is quieter Potentially 'grey' history Front and rear bumpers have different number plate recesses (obviously doesn't affect value just pointing out physical difference) Sat nav is redundant Radio I don't think will work without some mods Brembos were an option and are pretty much well worth having For all the negatives there are as many counter arguments For the ballache of getting an interior retrim is it worth saving 1500 quid I guess mis the question?

its called forward planning and maintenance :lol: I prefer the reactive stance 'What do you mean it needs 4 new tyres, brakes all round. 6 new bulbs and doesn't have a wiper blade on the passenger side?!.!. I did all that 6 years ago and your telling me it needs doing AGAIN!!!'

Surprising given the lack of attention it gets

Some chavnasty @*!# this is chaps. Reminiscent of a 17 year old wrapping a pair of his mums tights round the arseend lights of a Nova in 1998.

For a 53 plate it's thick on price. Sounds like your assuming the mods add value. The mods devalue it to 95% of your average buying public. Mods also generally suggest 'thrashed' to mot people

Worst, Northern Irish, accent, EVER! It should be......it was George Adedegwengo's Nigerian accent from Fonejacker!!!

Haaa no @*!# The 'mobile number' is actually an Indian land line! (07462) 695087......the first bit is the dialling code
