Yeah I know everyone is right you can't all be wrong. The one overriding concern for me is with a car worth 10.5k how bad must that crash have been for insurers to write it off

That's very true. I'm going to see what his response is before I decide whether to go look at the car

I have been sensible and messaged him and said I need proof that the car is straight and in good condition or I can't consider having it. Thanks for making me think about it

you're a suspicious man Ekona lol and rightly so there are some devious people around but having spoken with him I don't think he is one of them but I get you're point

Would it go through an mot with a bent chassis?

I thinking that if it drives well and he answers all my questions to my liking then I will probably risk it. I have read carefully what you all have said and I appreciate you all taking the time to answer but at that price for an HR it's very tempting and I was going to go to 8 grand for a rev up so if anything does go wrong I will have the money to put it right and if nothing goes wrong I'm off to Horsham for sports cat and remap

He sounds a straight bloke when I spoke to him. He bought the car after whatever happened to it which I think he would not have done if paint job had been that bad. He is in the graphics business so I think he the managed to get wrap done at cost. As for the service well who knows i'll ask him

Yeah I hope so. Trouble is he's not had it very long and as you say not much history just the 2 stamps and the 2 that he has had done but the P2 service he has had done sounds promising.

I appreciate your help. He didn't tell me about the offers they are on ebay but they don't say how much they were. I guess it may be a case of suck it and see which if it is a lemon is not going to taste good. There is no way really then I'm going to be able to tell until I have it which I guess you could say about most cars. It has had 4 owners in 35k which is a bit concerning but that may be down to cost of running I guess

I'm taking it out on Monday having never driven one is there anything that will point to a lemon. The owner I spoke to him yesterday bought the car already cat d but he feels that it doesn't get enough use to warrant keeping it. As he has a dog and a wife etc. He has had offers and turned them down I feel if he just wanted rid he probably would have cut his losses but I have to say he sounds genuine and is very keen for me to drive it. It will certainly get lots of TLC if I buy it

Owner who is a business man if that makes any difference that underneath the wrap is good but he felt that they over buffed some of the paintwork and in certain light it showed sounds a genuine guy and the car is low mileage so how rough a life could it have had

Ebay ref number 261781073672. Comments please

Ok quick update going to see a 58 plate HR on Monday. It is a cat D and I know it is a risk but it has just gone through an MOT with no advisories great price to £6700 and 35000 miles. I'm not worried about the Cat D for resale as I plan to keep the car till it dies and am going to have a test drive 1st. Insurance say they want an engineers report on the car am waiting to see if one has bee done. Am I being foolish thinking about this car .

I was going to remove all the stickers etc to make it less boy racer I was just impressed with all the work that had been done on it and the money spent and having spoken to the seller I believe t would have been pretty good but I take on board what people have said here. I know my age but I like cars like this

Yeah I think you're right i'm going to hold out for and HR I think. I would be happy for a while with an uprev but knowing I could have had an HR would niggle at me I think. Lol as you can tell by reading this thread I can't really make up my mind what I want but there is no need to rush just need to get a good one I know there is one out there with my name on it. By the way brutally honest is the only way to be but i'm still 21 in my head just not in body

Oh that's a shame it all looked so good but if they say avoid it I shall do so was going to put a deposit down on it tomorrow

Is it not worth it with all the money that has been spent on it?

Can somebody tell me how to put a pic on here please as I've seen a highly modified car I want and like some opinions alternatively its ebay ref number 311302580887 cheers feed back appreciated

Thanks very much will do if I look at one there although most seem to be north thanks for the offer

HR is going to be outside of my budget unfortunately average mileage around 10k. I can afford to run a Z but can't go to 10k to buy one 8k is my limit

Thanks for replies. I won't bore you all anymore for now I'll update when I get one in a few weeks time and thanks all for the warm welcome

I don't mind having an 06 facelift there are some available with around 50-60k clocked up which is nothing really for around £8000 fully loaded. I'm pretty sure that will do me fine for power looks etc. I don't do a lot of mileage and for the times I do push it I'm sure it would do me just fine.Can't ait only another 5 weeks till I get my money to get one

I really would like the HR but in my price range it is going to be high mileage so I think it will have to be an 06 rev up for a good HR looking at 10 grand

Hi all. Would an HR with 107k on it be a good buy at £8100

There is a 350z rev up on auto trader. 61000 miles on clock GT pack Faringdon car company. Coupe. £7795 is this a good price going to see and drive tomorrow. 2006 56 plate
