focusst Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Would it be a risk to buy a UK 350z with 75k on the clock? Car is on Autotrader for £13399 and apparently has full dealer service history. The price needs knocking down but any ideas how well this car would be running after 75k I've never had a jap car before, I know they're reliable, etc and I'm sure the engines good for 200k but would I be taking a risk? Again, any help much appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomoto Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 car will be OK with that mileage . but value is way too high £10k nearer the mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
focusst Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Yup. Thats what I figured. Theres nothing to compare it with on Autotrader as most cars don't seem to have done anywhere near that mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 car will be OK with that mileage . but value is way too high £10k nearer the mark £10k??? Surely not, Madgrip sold his with 63k on it for over £15k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 The age of the car will make a difference. I presume its a UK car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely not, Madgrip sold his with 63k on it for over £15k he was lucky best way to value the car is ring 6 dealers up and see what they offer you and add £2k to that I bet you'll not get a bid of over £8k if they dare venture a price at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 You can't throw a figure at the car without knowing a bit more about it, at the very least we need to know the year and the spec. I would guess the car will stand the mileage well mechanically if it has been driven properly and not thrashed through the gears day in, day out, but the problem will be re-sale. The 350Z is an enthusiasts car and most enthusiasts want to buy a good one which has been cherished and molly coddled and wrapped in cotton wool and lower mileage cars are always more desirable and easier to sell. Having said that, everything sells if it's cheap enough. Post up the year and the spec ( GT pack ? ) and the colour and I'll tell you exactly what it's worth.

focusst Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 I'm going to check this car out tomorrow. I'm obviously going to check out all the service history (ring a few of the dealers, etc). Anything else in particular to look out for on a car with 75k on the clock? I'll be gutted if I end up buying a bag of sh*te Cheers all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
focusst Posted May 31, 2007 Author Share Posted May 31, 2007 Oh well. Never mind. It was sold before I got there. Thanks for the help anyway though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
