Paulzx Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 sorry for the confusion, the import GT4 is a different car from the two cars i have been talking about. i don't appear to be able to attach photos in my posts so i'll see if i can get links to the ads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATTAK Z Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 06 Azure is a Facelift Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulzx Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 well so far the vast majority of replies favour the yellow GT4, which is in line with my original opinion before i test drove the azure but the one i drove was a 2004 not a 2006...anyone think the newer 2006 has any real advantage over the GT4 seeing as i have driven neither model, is there any real noticeable difference to the driver?

Paulzx Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 well if i'm not really gaining anything from the 2006 except a one year newer car on paper, seeing as they've both done similar miles, i may as well go for the GT4 and save some money i think. i would have expected both of those cars to hold their value relatively. most seem to think the GT4's will do better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtbiscuit Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 not sure much as hold their value, but more demand a higher asking price/ premium over a standard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulzx Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 not sure much as hold their value, but more demand a higher asking price/ premium over a standard you would go for the 05 car yourself rather than the 06? would parking sensors on the GT4 put you off at all?

Anubis Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 You know what I would do if I were you... Stick with your original choice (UY). Go and ask the owner to see it and if you fall in love with it, make an offer - the azure one will fly out the window because you'll be chuffed with the yellow. If however you decided after seeing the UY it didn't live up to expectations, let the owner know you have another to see before committing and go see the blue one. Job done. Just don't mess the current owners around if they are private sales. (From my own past experience if I choose my second after thought, I end up thinking "what if I had chosen my original choice" even if everything is still ok).

Sarnie Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 If you can get the price of the UY down then I'd go fo that. They have the same engines so all your really paying for is the interior....buy the azure and your just gonna have a run off the mill standard zed.................

Paulzx Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 i'm happy to pay that for it, there are other GT4's for sale nearer the 15k mark so it's not a bad price by any means Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted February 4, 2010 Share Posted February 4, 2010 i'm happy to pay that for it, there are other GT4's for sale nearer the 15k markso it's not a bad price by any means sure the heavy cost wont be the price anyway... its when you start lashing out the other €€€ on changing it that's going to cost you BUY not, might be gone tomorrow!

Paulzx Posted February 4, 2010 Author Share Posted February 4, 2010 well it wasn't declared up front by the owner so maybe they were hoping someone would buy it without checking and then they could maybe clear the finance with the sale money...or not bother at all!! what's the best way round this? should i just walk away from this one? I'm a bit miffed that they didn't tell me about it first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
