ryan21 Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Sorry wasn't sure whether to post this here or in the trading area.. I've just seen this on a Autotrader 2008 350z GT for £13.5k with 30k miles. I phoned the guy to check if the year or the price was correct as i thought the 2008 model had a differnt bonnet to how the one in the picture looks but he confirmed both the year and price was correct. Also said it was HPI clear with a few months warranty left and that the only bad thing was a few scrathes on the alloys. Sounds like a bit of scam but not sure if its worth the 120 mile drive to enfield to check if its genuine or not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350 Russ Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 its not a 2008 car, its the 296 version and not the 313, probably got registered in 2008 after sitting somewhere for ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Its a very late registered car if it is a 2008... Interior and lights all fit as it was one of the cross over cars.. Not a bad price to be honest but it will be a low price car for the year... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smudge Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 inside the cockpit is Facelift, it looks like he's put a Pre Facelift Carbon bonet on, specs and price seem pretty good :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree its an MY06 not MY07 that's been sitting about before registered. You can't put a non-bulge bonnet on an MY07. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky370z Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 IMO that seems like a good price. even tho it isnt a 313. get it bought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan21 Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 get it bought! I'm starting to think it might be a cloned stolen car or some sort of scam. The car looks like a 2006 model in the picture but the advert says 2008 and the HPI check says it was registered 22 Jan 2009. £13.5k for a car that would normally cost between £18k and £20k seems a little too cheap even if the he is desperate to sell.

Its one of the last registered 06 models, was probably sat on a forecourt somewhere & then got registered to meet sales targets that month if it all checks out then go for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think you understand, this car is not worth £18k-£20k as its not a MY07 car registered late, its a MY06 car registered late. When looking for comparison prices you should be looking at 06 prices. On the basis that its a MY06, the price looks about right for a private sale.............

ryan21 Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 Thanks Sarnie, i understand what your saying. Just thought it was a long time to be hanging around before it was registered in Jan 2009. Does anyone know when they they stopped making the 296bhp models? I'm going to have a look at it this weekend. Just being cautious as i know there are some scams and cloned cars out there and didn't want to be caught out and £13k out of pocket.

Its not a cloan or a scam for the reason listed above, there are a few owners on this and the other 350z site that have got a bit of a bargain with a pre registered car. As sarni says, its the right price for an 06 car. Check the plate in the engine bay on the left hand side and this will give you the year of manufacturer!

waseem1978 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Hi Guys, I checked out this car coz i wanted to buy it last month, its a ringer mate. I would avoid at all cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waseem1978 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I went to see it, The vcn numbers have been changed, The seller is very desperate to sell and was rushing me, after I test drove it he said to make him an offer. My friend who was a mechanic for Nissan told me to walk away, when we were driving back to see another one that day the seller called me and said that I could have it for 10K.

Maccaman Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Why did you not ring the police immedaitely? If you come across something like this then the only way to stop these thieving scroats is to get them caught. Just remember some Zed owner has had their car stolen. CALL THE POLICE if you are sure its a ringer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waseem1978 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 The seller seems nevous as he thought i might have been the police coz i started checking out the history, logbook and car numbers. He was a dodgy block, didnt want to spset him he looked like a thug. The service history looked like it had been done with a typewriter. Please warn others, he didnt even know much about his own car. I dont really know how touse this forum properlly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Do 350z cars get stolen, I thought that was only hothatches No they dont. They are completley unable to be stolen. Your right, its only hot hatches that can be stolen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixy Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 strange........... At the end of the day if that was true the police would be straight onto it. how do you know the vin numbers are dodgy? Put it this way - I once HPI checked a car i was buying and it came up as a completely different car. I had contacts at the police from when i worked there and they contacted the force in the area where the car was for sale and they went straight round to check it out. It was all above board - turned out the dealer had made up the plates with a K instead of an X after misreading the paperwork. So if there is evidence that this zed is a ringer its an instant police matter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparky370z Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 +3 hell yeah!! this is ridiculous. get the rozzers there ASAP!! if its genuine car the guy has nothing to worry about. imagine that was you. drove it away, paid 10k, only to have it taken off you 2 months down the line coz it was nicked. and think how pi**ed off u would be if you knew that somebody could have stopped it!!
