GingerS1 Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 (edited) Evening! A few days ago I saw a 350z with a for sale sign in the window as I drove into town.... A few phone calls and a quick spin later and I bought it! Purely as a bit of a fun punt. I've owned Lotus's for the last 6 years and having sold my last one I thought I'd give something else a try for a bit. The car is a 53 plate import, with 39k on the clock. Bought very cheaply. The (obvious) reason for the low price is it has a Cat D marker on it, having seen the pre-repair photos it suffered a knock to the back quarter and has been put back together well. I'm not overly fussed about that as if it needs further cash so be it and I'm happy to take that gamble Paperwork wise all I have is the most recent MOT form, showing it covering less than 10k in the last 5 years... no service history whatsoever though, this is my first priority and getting started on a documents pack is pretty important to me, AA Inspection report, service receipts etc for however long I own it.... To that end can anyone point me in the direction of a service schedule? Known faults? Etc. Finally, I'm used to highly strung 4 pots strapped to a 700kg shell, this is very much a different beast that I have no experience of, so if there's anyone in the Newquay/Truro area that has an hour to spare and can give mine a run out to feel for any issued it'd be appreciated Cheers Si.

Z370Z Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 It's not unusual for CAT C and D to loose previous paperwork, it could well of had full service history etc prior to the damage to the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choptop Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Impulse buys are always the best. I still think that the bogie green dress you bought when we went shopping recently wasn't one of your better decisions. Mind you that pink thong thingy I bought wasn't any better.
