stubzie83 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 It may not look bad, but they never drive the same after an accident. I got T boned in my last car and it was repaired well but never was quite the same to drive. Whilst it looks like body work damage you just can tell if the chassis is bent underneath. It must have had a fair whack as the air bag has been deployed judging by the state of the steering wheel. Might be worth a punt for someone who's brave. It is very cheap!

ioneabee Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 The boot looks slightly out of alignment !! ? in the rear view photo you'd have to be very brave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350 Russ Posted April 29, 2011 Author Share Posted April 29, 2011 does the 370 have airbags in the seats? probably about 5k worth of damage there at least Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Not a bad price, but seeing as hardly anyone breaks 370z and there are hardly any parts out there and most will have to be sourced from Nissan main dealer which are unbelievably expensive!

stubzie83 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 And you'll probably not be able to match the paint on the wing and the front as it's metallic grey and based on my experience of touch up paint for my gunmetal 350 it don't match that well!

leonk Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Been advertised by same seller before. Obviously a "story" car. Buy a Cat D damaged 370z for £9,000 pull it a bit straighter and sell it again for £12,000 no warranty no comeback. Nice little earner. Look at his neg feedback for the £8,700 car he mis described, As previous poster said, could cost you £5,000 to repair and end up with a car that's difficult to sell and never going to be right.. So to "temted" poster advice would be to take your £12,500 to a dealer plus a bit of finance and get yourself a proper one!! BEWARE BEWARE.

stubzie83 Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 If that's the case then definitely avoid. Personally, I would never (knowingly) buy a crash damaged car as it's more hassle than it's worth and they're never the same after a serious accident. I'm guessing there might also be some insurance problems if it's been previously declared a cat C/D write off or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 if i had space to break a car, i'd be tempted, and split it for spares, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 if i had space to break a car, i'd be tempted, and split it for spares, Engine and box £2500 Wheels £2000 Airbags £1500 Interior £1000 Body Panels £1500 lights £500 Suspension £800 Other bits £2000 You MIGHT just break even at £12,500 IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 if it was a 350z i'd kind of agree, but i think the parts on the 70 are possibly worth more. its all hyperthetical anyway as i don't have the space or the inclination at the moment to do it. if i was i;d be paying less than 12k for it as well.

Husky Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 lights £500 youd get more than double that for those parts. I'd take them in a heartbeat at that price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 That is a rare 'Ultimate' example - interior (and if seats not damaged by air bags) would attract a premium. I see the bonnet has 'popped' - I remember the price to fix that arrangement on a GTR a while back went into 5 figures for that fix alone, if I remember rightly. That is the one thing that concerns me with even a small tap on the front end. So part strip may be the best option but no doubt ZMANALEX or R35LEE will have checked it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonk Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 Husky said.. lights £500 youd get more than double that for those parts. Sorry Husky, that was just for the back lights. One front gone, wasn't counting other incase damaged. All I'm saying to any one is take a damn good look at it before buying. Have a look at chocohercules posts for parts for a 350 roadster he seems to have bought damaged. Started off saying it was a "light front end. subsequent posts mention not being able to get it running and a SMASHED SUMP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the damage on the GTR you're making reference to is a lot different, that's the pedestrian safety device. As far as I know our cars don't have that, do they?

The G Man Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 They do mate, I thnk Abbey has a thread somewhere that states they can disable the function without causing a CEL/warning, by ressetting it. Her'es the blurb on it, "The "pop-up engine hood" technology, a new safety technology developed by Nissan Motor Company Ltd., has been incorporated into the 370Z with the aim of reducing head impact injuries in the event of a pedestrian collision. The concept of the pop-up hood is based on a very simple principle: to help minimise serious head injury by creating more space to avoid collision with hard objects. In the case of a car-pedestrian collision, the engine hood is designed to pop-up instantly to help create a protective buffer space between the hood and the engine components underneath. Upon impact with a pedestrian and based on the severity of that impact, a sensor incorporated in the bumper activates the pop-up control-unit, which in turn will trigger an explosive actuator that raises the hood" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
