ITFC Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 So after travelling to Leeds a couple of months ago to get a 350z GT4 edition and it being a dud. I am still yet to find one. I have cash waiting but just cant find one remotely near me, I am not prepared to travel the length of the country anymore as to many people lie! There just dont seem to be any coming up for sale I am located in Ipswich by the way. If any of you hear of one coming up for sale let me know Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 For 9k you're better off going for a HR imho, GT3 only has the older engine and gearbox in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p34nut Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I know that Paul from Midwest has a 3 coupes in stock at the moment one of which is a nice 2008 313 GT that I'm sure you could work out a deal on. I picked my one up from him last weekend, nice guy and a pleasure to deal with He will also look out for cars that suit your needs and keep in contact with you as soon as he hears about them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy78 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 You'll be lucky to get a decent HR for 9K... which maybe why you've not seen anything that takes your fancy. What things are putting you off the cars you've seen? You have to remember that these cars are getting quite old now (The last HR sold is 6 years old and early models are now 12 years old). They will start to have marks on the paint, wheels and leather etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirag1988 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 I don't know if you can stretch and extra grand, but if you can I'd defo try to get a HR. You're right on the border of being able to pick one up. Better engine with the twin intakes, few aesthetic upgrades but mainly you get more power out of it.

350zedd Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Go for the HR ....you should get a private sale for £9500 I waited 6 months before the right one turned up, and did a 6hr round trip to pick her up. And that's pretty good living in the Welsh outback, as there are no decent cars for sale around here for zillions of miles. Just be patient and the right one will turn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if you can stretch and extra grand, but if you can I'd defo try to get a HR. You're right on the border of being able to pick one up. Better engine with the twin intakes, few aesthetic upgrades but mainly you get more power out of it. Really cant afford to stretch to 10k to be honest. I dont really want to spend 9k if I can help it lol, less money for modifications after all!

No not specifically just thinking of the GT4 as you get the uprev engine but pay the low tax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB-) Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 Sounds expensive to me. Either that or my HR is worth more than I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawker1986 Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 TBH its just a matter of waiting for the right car, one will turn up that suits your needs. 1st Zed was literally the first one we saw we bought. 2nd time around we must have seen 10 at least before we felt we'd found the right one. That's just the way it goes, and its not like its a focus or something common to find. The right one will come along Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allaboutthepasty Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 To be fair, if it's within £500-1000 of what it's probably worth, you may as well get in touch. People put the price up so when you get the nitpickers who poke fault at a scratch inside the boot, you eventually let the car go for what you're after in the first place. It's a stupid game that we all have to play! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
