Chilli Red Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Agree with Martin, the newer car, but is colour an issue to you? Welcome BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Welcome to the forum mate I'd be going over the 2007 with a fine tooth comb that is an extremely good price considering age & mileage - take it that is standard non GT spec - or even JDM? Then again if its been serviced by nissan it won't be JDM.......... Happy hunting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Welcome to the forum, the 2007 does sound like a very good deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 If you like Silver then go for the newer car. 14K should buy it even with the new tyres. Welcome to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.GRAY Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Both are UK cars and GT Spec Colour is not really an issue my choice of colours would probably have been blue gunmetal black and silver in that order But im buying on condition and price more so than colour Basically the 2007 car belongs to a friend of a friend and im getting it at this price as he got it about four months ago for a very good price-his friend is the manger in a Nissan Dealers He was honest and showed me what he paid for the car £14,900 and the dealer will give him £14500 back for the car and retail it at £16750 so the car is £14500 to me no less I only do about 70 to 100 miles a week and we also have a 170 Leon FR TDI which we will keep and sell of the other car we have now privately Also i have a concours Escort Cosworth but thats only used for shows Cheers Sean..........

Maccaman Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hi & to the forum. Definitely be the 07 for me, should be able to get your money back in 12 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNABASHED Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 always remember that balck is nver as good looking as any other colout due to it showing dirt so much more, I had to drag myself away from a shiny black Z in my search as I know how hard they are to keep looking nice (even though they are the best colour when in showroom condition). Personally I would go for the silver, although it does seem a little too good to be true if it is UK spec GT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 As long as the 07 is a MY07..................................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.GRAY Posted August 28, 2009 Author Share Posted August 28, 2009 The Silver car was registered on feb 5th 2007 and is the 300 bhp model Checked on the hpi and no problems here. Nearly certain i will go for this one Cheers Sean...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarmac@TarmacSportz Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Silver !!!! But be quick cos at that price I might buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Welcome to the forum Sean. Post up the pics when you've got the keys, sounds like you've made up your mind. Main thing is the condition of the engine, running gear, panel and paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
