SherlockH Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Don't know if I should of posted in spotted on eBay thread, but Jesus can't believe how cheap there going and with so little miles, was just having a casual nosey on eBay to see if I could see any bargains and came across these, all I can think of is people are real tight on cash for Christmas but that cheap wow 05 GT4 = £4700 08 HR = £6000 Don't know if these are false advertisements but I just don't understand why the zed sells for so little money Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Probably, there's been at least 2 scams on E-Bay involving Zeds in the last few weeks. Pete 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlockH Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ahh I noticed 2 on there before I ended up buying mine, the whole you can view or test drive the car but please give us £6000 threw a bank transfer... Yeah cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonty88 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) Dont think the 08 HR at 6000 is a legit price. Ive checked them this week as I always want to know if mine has gone down in value or not. Theres a couple that look far to good to be true, then at the other end you have dealers pricing them at around 12,000. A 2008 HR with low miles is still at least 10,000+ Edited November 10, 2015 by jonty88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlockH Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 Surely these false adverts are devaluing our cars more though ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 No way will you get a HR for 6k, even 9k would be a bargain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetpilot Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Surely these false adverts are devaluing our cars more though ? How so, most people searching will know the prices and will realise its a scam, so it wont affect genuine adverts. I really dont think viewing for sale ads is any indication of pricing, until you are actually standing in front of the car looking at condition or selling a car and see what people are offering or paying its as good as guess work.

Richf Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Advertised prices mean little often cars sell or can be bought much cheaper, a lot of owners seem to have an inflated idea of what their car is actually worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdunbar Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 They are both too cheap. When I was looking anything under £6k seemed to be a scam or a shed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SherlockH Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 I guess I just got slightly disheartened to think they were going that cheap when I forked out £6750 for my gt4 and I thought I had a bargain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkside Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 There are a load of scam adverts for Zeds at the moment, I was scammed 6 months ago where I thought I was paying a holding deposit and turned out they piggybacked a legit company website and stole the money. Luckily my bank refunded me the money. Due diligence all the way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyder Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I got my '04 plate with GT Pack for £3800. OK it's high mileage (127k) from commuting on the M3 every day for the past 5 years but the only issue was a wheel bearing needed replacing. Cost me just over £200 to replace. Apart from that the old girl seems solid and touch wood, everything works! There are some bargains out there, finding them seems to be the challenge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran O'Quick Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The odd time someone will undervalue. I went to look at one which I thought was a great price. £5750 for a nice Black '04 on 80k. So did lots of other people though. He ended up re-advertising it for more.

docwra Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 I dont know about 08's but I personally wouldnt pay more than 5K for a DE engined car these days, but then Im not really fussed about miles or service history. If that GT4 is on 100K+ miles then its perfectly feasible, if the 08 is Cat C or has 120K mile then its not a stretch by any means. At the end of the day they are impractical, difficult to mod (for power at least), dont have the cult following that Supras and Civics do, theyre a bit thirsty and have had 3 facelifts/new versions supercede them as well. When you consider how similar a DE is to an HR then Im with Ekona, the older cars are a bargain rather than cheap. Id imagine they will do an S2K/200SX and drop down to £2500/3K at the bottom end before coming back up to about £5K, the roadsters will be a bit more as theres less competition but any 350 with decent miles on it is going to suffer in value.

Ekona Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Zeds aren't cheap, they're a bargain I'm just going to quote myself here, so I can point this thread out when the next person comes on complains that I only ever knock the 350. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom-89 Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 When I was looking there was very little for less than £6k that didn't have excessive miles, cat d/c or was in ropey condition - either crap paintwork, lack of history, worn brakes, the stuff that if you cared you would get done rather than think 'aah I can still drive it' Ultimately you get what you pay for and if you're happy buying a performance car with 125k on the clock and no history then go for it and you'll pay less but you'll be paying less for a reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4CKO Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Yeah, You see a cheap looking one and its usually been ruined with some dodgy mods, is an import, high mileage, automatic or Cad C/D, decent UK GT's with sensible miles seem to still attract high prices, not sure what they sell for though. I think, if you want something that isnt in the list above, entry level is six grand for most offered. Wondering what mine is worth, will advertise it when I have accrued enough (non spamming) posts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
