Siman350z Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Spotted this car over at Nissan in Bishops stortford. It was up for £12495 and assumed it was HR- but it has the regular DE style bonnet? I thought the HR engine didn't fit under this bonnet? It's a 58 reg car quoted as registered in 2009. Seems very odd unless a dealer had it for years and only registered it late or something? Inside looks the facelifted version (but no satnav- cubby instead) but i'm no expert. Potentially interested in the car but it's well overpriced if it's a DE even at the v.low miles (37k) as the wear on the interior is poor and the cara has the WORST swirl marks I have ever seen- as if it's been cleaned with a scourer it's enire life!

JetSet Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Could be one of the Irish imports, I think they usually have the GT4 wheels on them. EDIT, just had a look, it's a facelift 296, must have been standing around for a while unsold I guess. Sometime ago somebody spotted a 296 on 10 plates.

Ebized Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 There are a few late registered DE engined 350's, but that is silly money for a MY06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Run away Yeah, I agree, the car was made no later than early 2007 and it could have been standing outside in all weathers for 2 years for all we know. Add to that you can get a 58 reg HR for that price its a no brainer really. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KyleR Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 37k on a 4 year old car is about average and maybe a little over average for a Zed. 2009 HRs with less miles cost less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siman350z Posted April 7, 2013 Author Share Posted April 7, 2013 Thanks for the replies guys, seems it must just be a late registered then- the same garage had an old convertible 350z for ages and ages priced at something insane like 14k. It just wouldn't shift but they wouldn't drop the price! Amazing they do any business at all. By the look of it I think it's been driven every single one of those 37k in shifts of 2 miles at a time.
