ChristopherJames Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 (edited) Well with the purchase of a new house and thinking its time for a more practical car I think its time to sell my beloved Zed. NISSAN 350 z V6 2003 (£5,500 ONO) Much loved Nissan 350z GT seeks new home: (UK Gunmetal manual with Bose) I am regretfully selling my beloved 350z. I have had the car for almost a year and a half now and has put a smile on my face from ear to ear every time I've driven it. It’s easy to understand why these 'Z' cars have such strong customer loyalty. The car turns heads wherever it goes, and commands respect from anyone who knows what they're talking about. The car has covered 110,000 and feels as tight and responsive as ever. MOT remains’ until February 2013, Taxed till the end of the month. Worthy of note is the reduced road tax (as a '53 plate 12 months tax costs £260 not the £460 of newer models). Last service: Carried out by myself as I work at a major car retailer (summer 2012- major service) New belts, drilled disks and yellow stuff pads, and full service carried out by myself (work for a major car retailer). No Expense Spared with this car. The car has also had some subtle modifications, which are listed below; Custom fully smoothed Nismo front bumper Custom front arches with 370z side repeater/badges Rear Ariel removed and smoothed out Rear wiper removed and smoothed out along with rear spoiler and badges. Black roof Eibich 30mm lowering springs Drilled disks with yellow stuff pads Black interior roof lining and plastics to match. Black wing mirrors. Black Ray alloy wheels. The car is of genuine UK production, not an import. As a GT model, it has full leather interior, 18'' Rays forged steel alloys, upgraded all round Brembo disc brakes, xenon headlights, electric heated seats and Bose stereo system. I have had the original stereo unit replaced for a top of the range double din touch screen unit (which can be included if the price is right, otherwise it will come with the standard Bose unit). The car is in great condition for a 53'. It has some very minor stone chips that due to the shape of the z seem impossible to avoid. She is very much an enthusiast's car, but will deliver unbridled levels of fun and enjoyment, with all the perks of having Japanese reliability. Bad Points. A couple of points just to mention The roof has a couple of small dents in from a hail storm. These would easily come out if given to a dent removal professional without the need to re-paint the roof. The front bumper has a small scratch on the bottom lip on the passenger side which if I have time I will paint. The rear bumper would do with being painted as it has been scuffed and flexed the paint which is very minor but I fussy and just wanted to give you all the points. Key points: Nissan 35oz GT Black Manual 6 speed Equipment: Satellite navigation Leather interior Heated seats with electric adjustment Xeonon Head lamps Cruise control 18" forged steel alloys Brembo brakes ABS Air conditioning Power Steering Central Locking Power folding mirrors 350 z floor mats Electric alarm 110,000 miles 4 months MOT remaining Last service : 108,000 (major service) Performance: 3500cc V6 0-62mph: 5.9 sec Top speed: limited at 155mph 6 Speed manual Edited November 26, 2012 by ChristopherJames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherJames Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 Do you guys think thats a reasonable price? I haven't advertised it anywhere other than here yet but is my best bet piston heads? Cheers, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flex Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 I think it's a little overpriced mate but if you're not in a rush I'd hold out till Spring as more chance of selling then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherJames Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Do you think it would be better to sell the wings, boot and bumper, springs and replace them with standard parts and then drop the price as how it is right now I would want £6000 but if I restored the car back to standard I would be happy to let it go for less.

Diab2005 Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Personally ive just bought mine in sept and if I saw mileage at that level I wouldnt consider unless around 5k. I know ppl say mileage is irrelevant if looked after which is true but would require 100% trust between buyer and seller. Nicely modded though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 Diab has a very good point with these kind of cars. This car is clearly 'worth' the money but with so many others about heads will always be turned by lower milage which could actually put the car in just the right time period to need loads of work! Glwts bud. Really nice motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristopherJames Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Well the car has just been sold today to HummBen. Seems like a good home to go to with his knowledge of working with skylines. Still very sad to see her go, I will miss the car but time for a new 'smaller' project car :-) Thanks for all the comments. (Mod's this thread can now be lock.
