jaffers Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 A 2004 model with only 17k miles for ₤6000?! a "UK" model and he's listed it as a Fairlaidy?! And apparently it does up to 50mpg!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350z-Fairlaidy-17k-miles-1-owner-FSH-Manual-UK-car-Fully-Loaded-/300876764755?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123 Somethings not right.....

Ebized Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 1 owner and new Bridgestones as well. OK ambitious on the mpg and a couple of other things amiss like auto wipers a dimming rear view mirror. But seems like a cracking bargain for someone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

370Ad Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Seems to be quite legit from the Ad. Good bargain if your in the market! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chubby Ninja Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 it could be a very good deal. would be worth checking if its a cat d or if there are any signs of accident damage. it would be worth a look if you like the interior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 UK car - GT (but no Rays) - low mileage ... what's not to like ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 UK car - GT (but no Rays) - low mileage ... what's not to like ? For any newbies wondering, Rays were an option back in 2004 - the rims on that car are the OEM ones it came on at the time. Have to say that anyone who wants an unmolested original 350 might have a long wait if they don't snap this one up, providing it all checks out of course.

S1 HNK Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 How can someone do such little mileage! That's less than 2,000 miles a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aliensurfer Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Bumped into Mike a few weeks ago, he'd done 1200 in between MOT's. I do that in 2 weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 It's not uncommon for one owner sports car to have crazily low mileage. Low mileage one owner cars tend to be owned by more mature owners who more often than not will have access to at least one other car. I'd be much more suspicious if a 9 year old car with 17k on the clock had 3 or 4 owners. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony.r123 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Looks like a bargain, i'm assuming original tyres so might be past there best due too age! just seem's way too cheap? If it all checks out will be a great buy for some one though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1 HNK Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I get the whole weekend toy thing. I ran an s2000 for 6 months as a second car but still racked up 5k miles and I didn't feel like I used it loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 i'm assuming original tyres so might be past there best due too age! It will certainly have had new rears along the way. Mine were toast at 10k and I'm really easy on my tyres. From the wear on my fronts they would have gone 20k ish but there were cracks appearing inside the tread when the car was 5 years old.

Pete The guy says it has new Bridgestones in his ad. reasonable but suspicious as the seller has no feedback! I wouldn't go near it unless it was advertised elsewhere too! Why? Everyone who uses eBay has had to start at some point and as someone who has not used it myself that attitude hardly encourages me to start if I were so minded! My reaction is the seller is too honest if anything and he has not fully appreciated the value of his car......I might be wrong but it could turn out to be a great opportunity for someone on here if it does all check out.

4RE Leather Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 If only you were right. Unfortunately one of the things in the security forums of ebay are 1st time high value item sales con artists. usually the car is in spain or the like. I believe the forum has a safeguard due to these cons. It's a sign of the times we live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already found out, the engine has had water damage and he says he rebuilt it himself, he's not sure if its cat C or D.
