It'll probably cost a fair few grand to repair and she'll still be a cat C or D so a nightmare to sell on. By the time she'd be on the road you'd get a straight one for similar money........not worth the hassle!! Dave.

I've got to be honest.....in my opinion wheels are like womens t*ts........they can NEVER be too big I've dealt with this seller a few times, his products and service are both superb!! I think he supplies many other wheel dealers so it cuts out a few ££££££ buying directly Dave.

Neither did he, he was buying something in the shop there . Whereabouts are you based? I live near to the Pot Noodle mine in Wales innit Dave.

When i were a lad (old git at 38 now!!) i found Bennets to be pretty good and also The Prudential. They covered my cars for around a third of what most other companies were charging so that may be worth a try. Dave. ps....Ian, are you the guy i was talking to about your Z in the Esso petrol station in Blackwood around a month or so ago?? I was in a black MR2 Turbo that i was delivering to the airport for a customer.

OOpps! Sorry matey, getting my sites confused Got my head up my a*s this week, edited out, apologies Dave.

These do fit nicely as i've got them on the car Richard was comming to view today . Due to my dad's illness i won't be working this week but Richard (weewizard) was very understanding and with a bit of help from this fine site i'm sure he'll get the car he's looking for so keep an eye out for him lads!! Dave.

Good point but we do actually have a large secure unit......as it has around £150k's worth of cars, mostly high performance, do you think i am going to advertise where it is??? Silly! We also have 3 landlines but even an evil car dealer deserves a little peace and quiet and i've had the same mobile number for several years so i aint that bad Dave.

Many thanks for the nice comments! She is a lovely example and will not be faulted....even if i do say so myself I do admit i'm like an old woman with all my cars and won't buy anything i wouldn't happily drive myself and this is reflected by the last hundred or so cars have sold on the very first viewing, something i'm very proud of! Dave.

Good point, would be a little expensive if she went bang! It's probably safer sticking with factory developed turbo engines......deeply in love with my old R32 GT-R at the moment, she'll never win any beauty competitions these days but she goes soooo well Dave.

What was the car from West Wales like? I never viewed the car as i was a little put off by the owner declaring how f**king fast it was all the time (not impressed with every other word starting with F!!) and his lack of knowledge on maintainance issues ...........then again he may have thought the same of me! Dave.

Was it a UK '04' plate car? There was a really nice twin turbo conversion model up for sale in West Wales that i was interested in buying but i bought a 996 Carrera 4 instead...........much as i loved the Porsche i wish i'd bought the Z instead.......it looked a minter!! Dave.

Good point Mike, i'll get it posted up there instead . Just getting her wheels / de-cats & exhaust put back to standard so i can sell her at a lower price............shame really as she sounds superb with the exhaust and the Khan alloys are going onto my GT-R Skyline Dave.

Cheers guys, sorry about the 'both' comment.......i couldn't leave my fav new baby out......my R32 GT-R which i bought to sell (honest!). You are a real good bunch of people on here, always helpfull and friendly to newbies........i don't wish to brown tongue but have any of you lot been on scoobynet? What a bunch of w**kers ......should anyone dare ask a sillyish question then it's knives out time.....lucky for me i am an expert in my own opinion Dave. ps......my 6 speed JDM 350z is going back up for sale........£13500 no ofers.........grade 4 with 25k and warranted miles cert. Would rather keep her but have overspent on the house refurb once again!! My number is 07810 098199.

Why do many people think a car mimics a person?? I drive both a BMW X5 a 350z & a Skyline GT-R............wonder what that makes me One thing i have most certainly noticed is that of the several internet car clubs that i belong to, this is the most hospitable and friendly site out of all by far!! Maybe this means that 350z drivers really are nice people to be around Dave.

My point is that there are a fair few damaged / repaired Z's now entering the UK.......some are very cheap and also poorly repaired and others (like mine ) are perfect but just like the Imprezas and the Evo's, these sh*tters, as i like to call them, will soon be dragging the residual values of decent quality cars down. Believe me.......Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles could spot some of the repairs i've seen lately!! My main sales cars are all JDM models as i do believe, in most cases, they are a superior car..........but that's only my personal thought on the matter . Dave.

Thought i recognised the title.........it's my car!!!! Not the cheapest in the world i agree but she's a non accident grade car and not a sh*tter like so many JDM's on the market. I can discount a fair amount off if the brand new Kahn wheels and the superb sounding performance exhaust are returned to standard items but i will say i've had another blinding sales week and i do love this car so i can honestly say she's welcome to stay with me for some time yet Dave. ps......anyone looking to sell their 350's / skylines / evo's / imprezas / supras & turbo MR2's along with GT-Turbo starlets please get in touch as looking for all these models

Cheers Andy........she could have been a 'bunny boiler'.......saying that though i would extend her warranty FOC if she boiled my missus's 2 cats.......b**tard things!!!! Dave.

Guess i can now call myself sensible at last and i'm only 38!!! Thanks for all the input on this one, some fine answers as usual. This post will hopefully not be read by my good lady who incidently is my girlfriend and not my wife so my carnal thoughts were only quite bad after all :o). Anyway, the (oh so fine) lady has now got the message but she'll probably buy her car elsewhere next time.........oh well......at least my willy is still attached to my balls!!!! Dave.

I would probably be killed just for considering it . Dave. ps. good reply Beavis but i fear i am not that restrained......it'd be a bit of a Chris Tarrant......i've started so i'll finish

Hi guys, many thanks for the replies and is does seem i'm possibly getting sensible!! An 82% sensible vote so far ........she called into see me 'about her car' again yesterday.......Lord have mercy, she's damn fine!!!! Dave.

Had an offer from a lady customer (of my car sales biz) of an entertaining evening out. She's 28, blonde and very fit but i respectfully declined as i had told my missus i was staying in with her. I then got thinking........damn.....have i suddenly become an old man or have i finally become a sensible adult at 38 Dave. ps.....and no, i've not turned into George Micheal!!!!!!

Good on ya Beavis, a superb reply!! A man after my own heart!! There are not many comments that make me laugh at 7-30am!! Dave.

Don't forget a decent 4 wheel alignment session, it's only around £75 and even with a posible slight mis-alignment it'll sort it out beautifully!!! Glad you are back on the road and meeting fine ladies once again ......... Dave.

Just had my exhaust with an intake on it's way soon . Seriously good service and price from Cenk at GarageGT!! I was kept well informed of my 'sample' exhaust throughout........credit where credits due and i'll definately be using their services again Dave.

Good point matey! Easiest thing to remember is something is only worth what people are willing to pay.......i've got storming money for some cars yet very little more than cost for others i thought i'd do really well with. Not really the best time of year for the rag tops but there's always someone looking for something, advertise well and hopefully reap the rewards!! Best of luck with your sale Dave.
