Olly350z Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Full service history of 9 stamps on an 18 year old car, that's some very good math. Shame it'll leak like a sive when it starts getting properly used. What a waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomato Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I would worry about lack of miles too, personally cars need to be driven 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_Muxlow Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Lov Lyn looking car but as above possibly a little over priced 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 In my opinion it is well priced...I haven't seen anything with such low miles in ages As to service stamps...what in the world do you guys expect when it's only done 9k miles I just hope some of the messages above are pure banter rather then opinions as that will be embarrassing 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm not embarrassed by what I've written at all. Full history means full history, way too many people stretch that truth when selling a car. My nismo, 5 out of 5 stamps, 5 invoices, 5 services = full history. 9 out of 18 is not full history. Especially at that price. Working on the service counter its not that unusual for people to do exceptionally low mileage and stick to the schedule to the letter, several customer's come to mind. Just say its not been serviced due to the low mileage, but that doesn't sound good does it 😕 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Think what Valy was getting at is, the vehicle on average has had a service every 1,000 miles. Compared to having 18 stamps which would have been every 500 miles. The difference will of had no detrimental effect on the engine at all. Exhaust, tyres, brakes and suspension components will have been checked annually as part of the MOT test. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly350z Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Don't forget that an MOT is only the barest minimum road standard. A tyre at 2mm while not really safe will still pass an MOT. Alot of people get hung up on the fact that a car has passed an MOT its in good condition. Further compiled that alot of it is up to the individual MOT testers discretion, so what one might pass another might fail and vice versa.

davey_83 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Point being at 9,000 miles MOT failure items through wear aren't going to be a concern, along with servicing at 500 or 1000 mile intervals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Thanks Dave, that's what I was referring to I tend to service my car yearly and I do about 6k miles Servicing a car just because the years go by doesn't make sense to me...imagine changing the oil after every 1000 miles....🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_83 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Granted for my own car, I would change the oil and filter every 12 months regardless of the mileage however it not a show stopper given the details from the ad. Same money, I'd rather buy the above car compared to a vehicle having done 5k per year and had all 18 stamps in the book 👍 Edited August 3, 2022 by davey_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polaris Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) The "old car + low mileage = crap/won't work" axiom doesn't really apply here as 9k miles at least means the engine has had a run in. Who expects 18 stamps with 9k miles? Madness Edited August 3, 2022 by polaris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If annually serviced (assuming it's moved a bit) then it'll be fine, could do with a good long run though to break in though if it's been sitting Edited August 3, 2022 by polaris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah your right, no one would spend £17k on a 350z they actually want to drive; it'll end up in a sealed garage somewhere I imagine.
