BigPoch Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi Guys, I've mentioned this car in another thread and got some helpful advice and replies but still need some reassurance like a pussy. I'm interested in this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2007-Nissan-350Z-GT-300-Bose-Rays-Alloys-Fantastic-Example-PX-Finance-Available-/322397061817?hash=item4b105cc2b9:g:TEsAAOSw241YjLnt Its a 2007 but with the DE engine as produced in Jan i believe. It's got a FSH and i drove it, didn't hear or feel any issues with the car. Get 3 months warranty, HPI clear, and a 2 year old Nissan stock exhaust. I've got the price down to 7200 and was advised to look for a HR engine in the same price range but just can't find one! Do you guys think it's an alright deal? I know the HR is a "better" engine but is it worth the extra money? Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowhereboy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Looks nice and clean. Personally I'd want a bit less millage given the cost of the car but that's just me. I'm waiting for the mileage isn't important police to jump on me now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLandy Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Mileage isn't as important as condition, but mileage does give an indication of what may go wrong soon. Personally I'd stump up the extra £2k for an HR (and I did). Engine is much smoother and more refined, not to mention stronger, should you ever wish to boost. If £7.2 is absolute top end for you, then the revup is definitely the way to go, the interior is so much better than the early DEs. I paid £9k for a 60k HR about a year ago, for reference. Having had a brief look on autotrader, for £7-8k there seem to be lower mileage HRs than that revup... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Looks tidy however you are paying dealer money. Chances you could get a much better model for less private/forum sales. What warranty are they offering ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigPoch Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 @Veilside z they are offering a transmission/engine warrant for 3 months only... When you mean much better model do you mean a 2007 HR engine at similar price and mileage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeezeebaba Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The only major plus of the HR for me was the position of the dipstick The interior of the facelifted cars isn't really that much better either, some faux silver around the twist knobs and better looking door cards, yeah great! It certainly wasn't enough for me to stump up the extra cash needed at the time. The money saved has gone into making the DE I bought instead a nicer car through mods. I will always buy on condition, dealers as stated will always have a mark up. Mind you at that price I would want a much better warranty included.

FiddyZed Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The only major plus of the HR for me was the position of the dipstick The dipstick on the DE is about as useful as a bloody chocolate teapot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
