Thinking abouy buying this Zed with view to possible manual conversion

Hello, can i get some opinions of the value for money of this car. It seems genuinely unmolested, colour is good. Cloth seats look a bit scruffy, would swap for full leather if purchased. Was in market for Manual but maybe this is a candidate for a conversion if it can be had cheap enough. So what price is fair? How much to factor in for manual conversion and cloth to leather swap? Anyone know a garage in Northern Ireland who has done the auto to manual conversion?

Hi there mate that zed on gumtree looks very nice and original its unmolested with regular oil changes and run on super unleaded so all good so far. The price is about right but its been on gumtree for a while now and they are hard to sell so he will take a lot less.You just need to check the bodywork and have a good drive and press every button.As for garages the only one I know of in N.I. is snj motors http://www.snjmotors.co.uk/ but if the auto box is working well I would keep it as they are great boxes. If you want a second opinion on the zed I would be only to glad to check the car over with you.

Thanks for the offer, but as it turns out the car is actually in Lurgan and the owner is in Donegal at the minute. I will take a look maybe next weekend. I got the owner to send me a picture of the tailgate rust spot and it's pretty insignificant. Ultimately I'm looking for a bone stock well cared for manual TT with stock springs and exhaust, do you know of any for sale locally or that could be persuaded? I would pay a good price for a clean original manual TT as I think something clean and original has the best chance of holding it's money, values of modified TTs seems to be in freefall.

300zx's in N.I. for sale are few and far between. Sudesh on here has an outstanding convertible http://www.300zx.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?164056-Nissan-300ZX-Convertible-%A33995 and this other one on gumtree which you have probably seen http://www.gumtree.com/p/cars-vans-motorbikes/nissan-300zx-coupe-automatic/1026086756#photo-contentn and thats it.

 

I went to England to buy mine it was the only way to get the zed I wanted and glad I did. As for prices they are imo on the way up as good quality zeds are now getting quite hard to find and are fetching higher prices. If you want to see mine over the weekend let me know and I will give you directions but not for sale lol.

Went to look at the silver zed in Lurgan, seemed quite good, great paint and mechanicals, mostly stock. A few small faults hurt it, perished passenger door window seal, perished scuttle panel on l.h.s, noise from fan in between t-bars, silly lowered ride (although set of standard shocks thrown in with the deal), silly after market exhaust. In a moment of insanity I have hatched a plan to buy silver zed

for parts as I know this car has rust issues. If this did happen, anyone else in NI looking parts for their 300? I could sell off anything that was wanted and scrap the rest?
