Kick the salesman out and go on your own. :teeth:

 

When I bought my first ZED I was handed the keys and told to enjoy myself :D An hour later I was sold and the car was bought :)

 

To be fair the garage (non Nissan) have known me for a long time and I have since bought my second one from them (new 06 model at a price better than the Nissan stealers could offer) so it has been a good mutual arrangement :thumbs:

Think two years for a test drive may have been pushing it though Colin ;)

As below.

 

 

Listen out for any odd clicks or creaks and have fun! :teeth:

Definitely plus 1!!

 

Also look for notchiness in the gearbox/transmission, clutch, any unusual wear on the interior, heavy gravel rash/scraping on the Z's underside, make sure the windows are working properly (ie they should go down about 1cm on opening and closing, then go back up to close), if electric seats make sure they're ok, seen a few that are defunct, make sure they have correct sizing of wheels (so you don't have any traction control/vdc issues), plus all the normal car hunting things. Can think of more, that's a start though.

 

Most of all take it for a good distance, on twisty road if you can, you'll soon notice if there are any handling issues, or anything else.

 

Edit -didn't see this til too late. :blush:

Brought it!

CongratZ!! :D
