haylabamba Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi all Thinking of moving to a 370Z from my beloved 350Z. Not a car buff, just love driving. This 370Z has been on Piston Heads for a bit and is describted as minor Cat D but the price is obviously great. Question: If you intended to hang on to it so weren't too bothered about re-sale, would you give it a shot? Any other downsides you can think of? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3838471.htm thoughts appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lehem Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 would not go near it, unless proof of damage and step by step repair photo's and still then prob not go near it.. Proof of damage would be the photo in the advert? I don't know much about 370z prices but if the price is good and the repair has been done properly, I wouldn't be scared off by it. It will depreciate at the same rate as a straight one, maybe a little more as more cat c and d ones become available but will still be worth decent money in the future. The damage didn't look too bad, as long as the car in the photo damaged is the car your buying? I guess if you were synical you could say it could be a random photo of a lightly damaged car! Go and see it and see if it's not too far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Walk away, tempting now to save a few quid but you'll be faced with the same stuff when you want to sell, you really answered your own question when you sad it has been on PH for a while now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbyheinz Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Personally I'd have a look at it...have a proper inspection carried out and if still interested haggle down, given that it's been there a good while Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EH 370z Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 You have said your not a car buff, so I couldn't think of anything worse! Move on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
un1eash Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 Walk away, its hard to tell the damage from a photo and the fact it was consider a Cat D would make me think the damage was worse then it looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ds2000 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 If you're tempted have it inspected. I paid about £110 when I bought a CAT-C S2000. It was perfect and I saved a quite a few grand. When I came to sell it, admittedly I got lucky as a guy from Holland bought it. I told him all about UK Cat write-offs but he didn't care. Cat-D is nothing! 95% of owners would have fixed that up themselves and not claimed. As I say, get it inspected. My S2000 came back with a glowing report. The S2000 was NOT £16k though......

smudgedon Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 If you think it's worth it, get an inspection 110% At worse, you spend £100 or so to save yourself buying a lemon/deathtrap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersen.o Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Get your own cat d / c and fix it yourself! will cost you less money, you get to drive it for a while and then sell it for same price it cost you 2 years down the line! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swallet Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 How about this one: ************************* I only say because it's mine! Unlike the blue one it hasn't been CAT D or been in any accident in fact. My price reflects the mileage (31,000) and the fact that I'd rather sell sooner rather than later. Sorry for the unashamed plug. I know I'm not a regular forum contributor but I've been a forum reader for 18 months. all the best, Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swallet Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Sorry if I contravened a forum rule by posting the link. Could someone clarify? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK350Z Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sorry if I contravened a forum rule by posting the link. Could someone clarify? Ads in the for sale section only, and you don't have the pre-requisite posts yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swallet Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Sorry hadn’t noticed the hundred posts rule. It’s advertised elsewhere anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
