[SOLD]2007 UK 296 Gunmetal GT Convertible - 39k - £7995

[J4CKO]

Have just put a deposit on a Mercedes CLS so my Zed is for sale.

 

As per the title, 2007 296 with 39,900 miles, I am the second owner. Will check on the MOT but its got a good few months on it.

 

Car is mechanically perfect as per the low mileage, lots of history, previous owner had it serviced on the dot at Nissan so it has full Nissan history until I purchased it, I have changed the oil and filter with quality synthetic twice in 2 years and the 8000 or so miles I have covered in it, new brakes all round and a gearbox oil change. The engine and gearbox are spot on, it pulls nicely and runs perfectly, it doesnt use any oil and starts on the button, the battery was replaced earlier this year. Comes with 3 keys and all the owners pack stuff. Spare never used.

 

The only changes to the standard specification are a Cobra Sport exhaust, this is the resonated model, the Y pipe has also been replaced with a Stainless Steel Item, it sounds fantastic, I have also changed the ropey oem stereo (CD had failed) for a Kenwood item that has Bluetooth, Aux, Ipod, USB etc, this was hooked up to the existing Bose amp and sounds pretty good, the steering wheel controls still work.

 

The bodywork is generally good but it has a few dings on the passenger door and a few other little knocks from the previous owner, no rust as you would expect, alloys are the standard rays ones, they look good but for perfection I would say they are due a refurb. I have priced the car to allow for these little cosmetic bits, the exhaust and stereo are the best part of a thousand pounds, two standard weak spots already dealt with. Hood works fine, been up and down all summer

Nice Zed, GLWTS.

 

Where is it?

[Alex350z]

When you say you have changed the standard stereo for a Kenwood one, does it not say Pioneer on it ?

[mattross1313]

Good luck with the sale mate, looks a clean car.

 

Question - where did you get the traffic light air freshener??? Been looking for these for years!!

[J4CKO]

Am based Near Manchester Airport.

 

The Feu Orange cost me £20 off Ebay as New old Stock, only opened the first months potent 70s aroma, my dad had one in his mk1 Capri when I was a kid, £20 was a small price to pay.

 

Stereo, oops, am not all that well up on these things, was just on a mission to replace the stuttering original unit.

 

It is pretty clean but does have a few little dents that a good dentman could get out, hence the lower than average price, only selling as I am a serial car changer, 2 and a half years is a testament to how much I have enjoyed it, very satisfying car to drive, just ready for a change, Mercedes CLS 500 due next week but I may go back to Zed ownership when I can afford a 370.

 

Will give it a few days for the faithful on here to decided what to do and then it gets thrown to the vultures of Ebay and Auto Trader.

[Brummiestormer]

That's a good price--should go at that

[J4CKO]

That's a good price--should go at that

 

Tanks, thats the idea, keen price for a good car, I just got a good deal on my new one so it means I can price mine competetively, no sense being greedy.

[J4CKO]

WIll put a few more photos up when on my computer, was also thinking I may take a cheap PX, am not a trader but I do like faffing about with cars.

 

Its had a wash and vac today and is looking good !

[J4CKO]

Now £7795

 

Must be one of the best priced out there but new car on way so needs to go.

[NeilMH]

Good luck with the sale. I also considered a CLS but a suitably "cheap but good" XK8 came along in the meantime. I'm also waiting for 370Zs to come down in price. Be interested to hear what you think about the Merc once you have had a good go in it.

Will do, think I will miss the gruff and honest nature of the zed but the Merc does have a lot of plus points.

[veilside z]

Very nice car buddy. All the very best with the sale. Are you keeping with the convertible theme or is the Merc a fixed coupe?

Its the four door CLS, sort of a swoopy E class, a 2008 model, so the facelifted version with the 5.5 V8 with 388 bhp, lovely tidy condition, went expecting to find something a bit down at heel that I wasnt all that bothered about but it is lovely, utterly immaculate and drives very nicely, quite a contrast to the Zed but I think life is too short to not try different motors.

 

I got it at a good price so it allows me to sell my Zed a bit cheaper, no sense in it hanging round so am open to sensible (already well priced at £7995 and another £200 off already) offers and possibly a Cheap PX, car is ready to go.

[J4CKO]

Now on Pistonheads as well

[J4CKO]

How do I change the title to reflect the price change ?

[Digsy]

Just to clarify, the service history stops 2 years ago and you have maintained it since?

[J4CKO]

Diggsy, yes, that is correct, full Nissan history until I bought it, then I have maintained it.

 

I have maintained every car I have had for the past 27 years, swapped and rebuilt engines, welded, painted. upgraded etc etc, have grown up with cars, studied MVT at college, worked in a garage for a while so don't let that worry you too much, I have kept records and receipts of the bits I have done, depends whether you want a full and complete Nissan history. Had I been keeping it I would have done the brake fluid and belts in 2016

Comes with previous MOTs, and you can get all the history off the DVLA now, have a look, nothing to hide here.

 

Exhaust was done when I got it as was broken and blowing, I fitted that, replaced the Y pipe earlier this year as was blowing, got a garage to do that as weather was bad.

 

I fitted the stereo earlier this year, all neat and all works perfectly, cost me about £200 to do.

Ok, new car here, another £200 off

 

£7595

[BeefyZ]

GLWS mate nice motor and the price your asking is a steal someone who is looking for a 350z should definitely pay that money 😊

If you really need it to go then garages accept 7k but of course Id hold out like I did 👠it will sell buddy 😊

I am now an owner of a 400bhp Evo 7 and love it 😂 not as luxury as a merc though 😉

Anyway GLWS and someone needs to buy this ðŸ‘

Cheers Beefy, We Buy Any Car came back with £7400, but we all know they will chip that down, so am open to sensible offers, probably not the time to sell but it seems to be cheaper than some older ones with higher mileage, it is ready to go, needs nothing for a fair few thousand miles, might even take a cheap PX.

 

The CLS is completely different, my son summed it up as the Z is and X wing but this is Millenium Falcon, did the Waitrose run in 12 parsecs but it only does 15 mpg, bloody hillarious economy, even by Z standards.

£7295 !
