ENZed Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi Guys. Right, basically Ive been looking around for a zed for quite a while now. I have managed to find one which I'm quite interested in and have managed to agree a price which the owner. The only thing that seems to be bugging me slightly is the mileage. It's a jap import, however the mileage is still clocking in km and reads 60000. I would look to get this converted back to miles, however 2 questions I'm hoping you could me out with here: 1/ Although the mileage in miles is approx 37000, would the fact the car reads 60000 put you off (I know it's kind of anal) - just to add, all of the MOT certs all show km 2/ how much and where could I possibly get this conversion done? (km - miles) Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Hi Mate I have UK clocks with approx 33k miles and another with around 35k miles on if you end up wanting some. I thought it was part of the SVA test to convert the cars to MPH when they enter the country? The Miles / KM's wouldn't put me off if the car is in good order and running well. Maybe a way of getting the price down a little for you though? Keep us updated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ardesco Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Once it has gone through SVA it counts up in miles (Not heard of them ever leaving it counting up in KM, not even sure that is possible...). You really want to look at the JUMVEA certificate. It will tell you how many KM the car had done when it was imported, assume that the rest are miles.

nixy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 as said above the conversion is usually done at SVA stage - mine was fully converted so the existing KM's were converted to miles and then it clocked up in miles thereafter so just looks identical to a UK version. Other people have to add the original KM's to the miles it clocks up thereafter. I think mine cost me about £100 for the full conversion.

bronzee Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 One of the guys over here in the last year moved back over to the UK, taking his NZ new 350 35th Anniversary with him back to Pomland, have directed him to this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ENZed Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 Thank goodness I posted my concerns here 1st. I'll assume the given mileage is in miles and not km as the seller states... that's a bit of a let down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
