Did you go for it?

Thanks but really after a standard car, looks stunning though. Maybe I should clarify I am after a coupe not roadster, colours would preferably be black, grey, blue with black leather as not a huge fan of the tan interior (no offence just a personal preference) Happy to wait for the right car and prefer to buy from a forum member. Thanks for the replies so far.

Previously sold by evo motors on 3rd March this year, advertised at £8990 with 50k. Evo motors specialise in these cars and seems a fair price for the miles and one previous owner as was then. Isn't Google great, the things you can look up. At £5180 just over 2 months later and 1000 miles more, it is either a massive bargain or too good to be true. I have sent an email asking if I can view, no reply as yet.

Don't know the car but my old one had the petrol cap button pushed in which I didn't notice until I first went to fill it up, very embarrassing! Wasn't a difficult job to have it popped out again and was all still connected just bad design I think on the dash and a bit fiddly.

Also noticed that the mileage is 2000 less miles than advertised miles in those pictures, looks like an old PH ad to me, could be using old pics I suppose

I'd also seen this, you can actually search google using images to see if there are any matches. I used the first image on the advert and it came back with 5 exact matches linking to past ebay adverts, so i'm fairly certain it's a scam. Does seem very cheap and no replies to messages or phone number to call? Maybe I will message again asking when I can view as I am only 10 miles away? There have been a few scams going on recently for Focus Rs cars, people are so keen to get ine they out a deposit down without seeing the car, turns out to be someone else's old legitimate advert and pictures normally lifted from Pistonheads and similar sites. Might well be genuine but you have to be so careful with everything these days unless you can see it in the flesh and do all the correct checks

Now that I absolutely love and I am just back in the market for one. Have no idea what importing it costs and how much of a pain it is, will have to look into it

I am looking to buy one too

I emailed him asking about service history as it doesn't mention that, never got back to me. Could be that he is just a newbie to ebay as no feedback. No phone number to call either so can only contact by email and he doesn't reply. I am quite close to Southsea so was tempted to have a look, does seem very cheap, think I will give it a miss though.

The last one was a DE so looking for 313 ideally.

Replied thanks

Well, I finally sold my Rs due to lack of time to use it. Now looking to get back into another Z. Have looked in the for sale section, nothing available that meets my requirements so if you are thinking of selling please message me. Looking for preferably a 313 or maybe a really nice 296. Must be GT model and mileage sub 50k, well looked after with full service history. Up to £10500. TIA!

Oh well, after weeks of agony I decided to keep the Cossie. Every time I go and look at her, start her up and just drool over her I can't bring myself to let her go. Only one way these are going and that is up if they are pristine with full history and unrestored. She has an insurance agreed valuation and is tucked away in a heated unit with her coat on and a trickle charger. We shall see what happens in Spring and I may have a rethink then. She needs nothing doing to her and is paid for outright so I will just keep her for another 6 months and see what happens. Miss my 350z but will get another one day, the depreciation has made me think long and hard about getting another modern toy though. In the meantime, the Passat estate grits her teeth for harsh Winter and salty roads

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!

I had an S2k GT with hardtop a few years back, worst car I ever owned. Seats were so hard and such a limited range it adjust them, everything was cheap plastic inside and I ended up taking the hardtop off as all it did was rattle, drove me mad. That was a low miler with FHSH. Performance was totally different, very revvy and you had to rev the bits off it to get anywhere with it, was so disappointed in that car for what they build it up to be, sold it after 2 months as it did my back in. The 350 is nice and torquey, much better build quality imho with all the toys as standard on a GT. Definitely try and test drive a couple of each car and make your mind up as they are so different honestly. Plenty of nice 350z's around for your budget, have a good look and take your time to find the one you want. As you say, service history is very important on any of these types of car, not necessarily full dealer but at least a good history with quality parts used and things like brake fluid and gear box oil changes, tyres are expensive as I am sure you know!
