Is that satin black? well thing is not a lot of people drive 3.5 litre jap cars lol, badge snobbery and following a crowd maybe

Shame Honda dont do coupes, and they are releasing Type R coupe for America and maybe a new s2000, The civic is too light, but handles well. The quality doesnt feel all there compared to the Z. Z is a quick car, but in the real world especially nowadays its probably mid range compared to some other beasts. Which is why people just charge it, Torque is ok, combine that with N/A v6 you got a natural beast. CTR 2015 may be a vast improvement over FN2, apparently with small mods it can get to 350...... Im happy with the Z, you can still have a lot of fun. its not always about crazy speeds, but how you feel when you drive it and how it handles, i did some miles with the previous owner love it! on a long journey you dont feel fatigued at all....which is suprising. These Honda boys came from saxos, clios etc. That to them its fast, plus they like being able to corner with ease, just like the Z to me is quick coming from a 1.8 civic, to a long term owner probably not so the supercharged version is quick, and so on.....but when you start getting used to speed where an M3 e92 etc isnt fast enough then you probably need mental evaluation . clio 182 was quick to me in 2004 when my bro got it brand new va va voom!

heavy right foot lol and town drifting

adrian flux quoted me 1400....ill try prestige now lol

ive seen a few senior people in type rs etc, i think a lot more are knowledgeable and maybe because they like the old fashioned manual cars unspoilt by computers

a shed, nope not offended yet.....lol, i saw a youtube of one in Poland and i think they were more rare a few years ago, so it did get lots of looks, i saw like 3 in essex and a 370 so they must be popular down there as they have the roads for it. I like the fact its different and not too common around my area, ive seen 1 in my area in the last 12 months

will do Veilside thanks

thanks, ill give you a call soon, do i need to ask or quote anything in particular that might help?

lol, well i went ahead and bought it, Inspector said car is in good condition for age, and also clutch is fine, its around the same as my civic just above half way, TBH my civic was one of those adjustable depending on how you drive ones, Hopefully it holds up. different car though, if i drive like daisy should do Interior did have slight marks but im thinking of getting bits repainted or wrapped not a biggie, Body work had ball point pen sized dints not too many, I left him to get on with his inspection and kept the seller busy chatting away. Funds didnt clear till midnight, lesson learnt on that front, I was able to knock him down a little so got it for little over 5k, slightly above what i though i could knock him down to. But i can see the guy has spent money on it, and isnt exactly struggling for funds. wheels alone costs close to 900 pounds.they are new it will need pads in the next 500 1000 miles, discs are fine, car drives good and soaks up bumps well, exhaust isnt loud at idle, but is crackles and pops at start up and on high revs, neighbours will love me, its a japtech full stainless Just had a 300 pound service and check up, full service history and good mot history. He even took us out for lunch while we waited for the bank to clear the funds, seemed a genuine guy, proper character, Touchwood eh....lets see how long this 350 fling lasts, goes like the wind, seeing as i dont do many miles, and i keep my cars serviced and looked after, im sure the value will be ok when it comes to selling

I basically need to insure in advance of my renewal date of the 25th of March, i can explain my situation in a PM if any sales/trader people want to give me a better quote than the meerkats are offering! It will be on a 350z 2003-2005 no mods. I am 30 years and had license for 8 years with 7 NCB. Help!!!

the Type R was also an option for me, and maybe in future who knows. the tax works out the same as well as the insurance for me. Fuel costs are 4-6 mpg difference. It will be okay for now until the fuel price goes up, a lot of type rs do have 18/19s on them but they are much lighter cars, Like go karts, EP3 is a classic, i was tempted by the fn2, apparently the ep3 is faster

I will agree to disagree there, all decent ones are mostly advertised and sell for the same sort of money, anything else will be a lottery if you ask me from my brief experience during 3 years of ownership and 2 zeds, the price hasnt really changed much since i was looking for my first one. They can be found cheaper of course and if your in luck the owner may be desperate for some money and you get a bargain, but anything i looked at under £6000 was a dog of some description, poor bodywork/good mechanics or vice versa, i paid just over £5k for my first one but it needed a clutch. Just go in with your eyes open, if it needs pads it may well need discs if they are badly lipped, £500 all round, tyres £500... There another one i found closer to home 5 miles instead of 70 just serviced and had the clutch changed, its going for 5400, non GT 2005 100,000 miles, back to the original one he said pads will need doing in another 1000 miles, disc and pads ive seen for 299 and can get them done at a local for 50 -60 quid depending on how hungry the guy is, tyres are fresh just put on with those rims, car was serviced recently so the recommendations will be there, hopefully the inspection will bring up any thing else..... believe me my eyes have never been opened wider. this one has 5 owners, 3 from the same family whos selling it now, ill be the 6th http://www.autotrade...issan&logcode=p I called the guy he said they are trying to arrange finance for one guy, so if it comes back boxes ticked its gone, Its been there for a about 4 weeks, its the DE 2005 engine with 2006 reg apparently full service history new clutch etc. Guy sounded fed up ,

depends black looks great when the weather is dry and stealth when its grey and miserable, but blue is kinda stand out ish. hard choice, for the roadster black is a good choice but depends on the condition and if its been taken care of

Im going to see it tomorrow regardless of if the mechanic shows up and make an offer after the inspection is done, and hes the one quoting 5300, but i havent made him any offer. Like someone said I dont think its worth more than 5k at the very best. Bank transfer only, no cash on me, i made it clear to him too,

I will have an inspection booked, will be checking it myself, and i remember you saying that, thats really bad

These are few of the cars where the price varies considerably. a lot of traders are selling 2005's with 60-90k miles at 6500 to 8000. GT usually. Non GT still commands a 6k asking price. privately its all over. Theres a white one thats been slightly modified guy wants 6995.... Yesterday i saw a black one 2004 96k miles for 5k orange leather 7 owners......guy had it a month and didnt bother checking insurance prices so has sorned it,... 4k youre a mad man, I would have happily taken that off you for 5 and a bit........

A rain fund a must with even a reliable Civic.

lol get to know the guy selling, it will tell you a lot about how the cars been treated

http://www.ebay.co.u...=STRK:MEBIDX:IT It has 4 owners, 3 of which were same family (father/son combo). I spoke to the guy yesterday evening. He came across as a salesman and a bit pushy. It currently has private plates on. I was just wondering if you would pay 5k for a 2003 GT 83k miles. When there are others (2004) going for less The alloy wheels are new, but ive seen them for £500 quid so shouldnt really be a factor on price tbh lol. But from the MOT history it does have a leaking shock which hasnt been fixed and pads will need doing soon. I got hold of the plates he sent and the history looks ok 1 fail from new on lambda, no big deal, no constant failures etc He also couldnt tell me his best offer....this is the second listing as it didnt sell last time I will ask him regarding service history etc as there is no mention of that which probably means it hasnt got full history. Done an average of 7-8k miles a year from new. Thanks in advance ps suppose not gd to judge but this ones in Essex, i wouldnt buy a car from certain areas ie birmingham or east london

months and months of research on what to avoid is definitely worth it, all the issues etc, what a headache, i learnt the hard way with my first car. No HPI, No research, bought on a whim. Was a CaT C lemon and lost 1400 has had to cut my losses, Guy who bought it off me crashed and claimed the full value of a hpi clear one. Over time I started picking up little tips here and there on buying. one thing you wont know till you buy is oil consumption. I hope you have shipped this car back along with that letter by now and started the claims process. IT may take as long as a previous poster, but you got to do it or face losing huge sums. This is why Id rather spend pennies on a car than huge fees...Fortunately it was half trade half finance, which you can stop. Still 5k outstanding ie your traded car if proven at the cost of time and court you should win the case as long as you dont drag your feet as you have here for 5 pages....and act promptly producing any evidence necessary

Autotrader tried to call me so many times to renew my ad, I would have but when I looked at the stats then looked down at my phone, it didnt make sense for a site like that, time of the year maybe, . Maximum exposure I would say Ebay, because you get suggested or related items, its not concentrated traffic. "popular" without paying extra plus its easy to go from searching for a samsung s6 to looking at what the used car market is like in seconds,

I seriously thought after the need for speed/fast and furious 1 era neons became illegal so people stopped using them on public roads, as for the wings well, ive seen huge wings on 5 series and m3 e92s lol. Depends on how many clothes you want to hang up , double rail wings are always a hit people can mod as they wish, im more in the look slightly better than stock/suttle range when it comes to styling exterior and interior, each to their own I guess,

Saw a similar Z on ebay, good price too im sure, White Z, unique, probably 1 for every 10 on sale, is that an 04?

Inspected?

I changed mine in all 3 of my previous cars, all I can say is wow, what a difference it makes, best gearbox so far was in the civic, as good as the GTI MK 4, in every way, just great. they say 30,000 miles, but more frequently only helps to preserve moving parts,
