Ouch!! that is bloody bad luck. Same thing happened to a mate in his Z4M last week. Brand new £220 tyre beyond repair.

Great looking Car

Due to the snow the new car, (Got it Monday) has been dumped in the yard all week. Today was the first chance to get the salt off it from it's drive home. It scrubbed up pretty good !!

My snow covered Z. Only had it 1 day. Driven once to get it home, now snowed in.......

I know you mean about the fuel economy. I have the 159 2.4 Diesel. Since new its average is 36 mpg! I have only manged one full journey at 40mpg and that was motorway pretty much door to door. looks great though and sounds good for a diesel. (5cyl)

Today was finally the day to collect my new toy. Despite the weathers best efforts I finally got it home through the snow. VERY scary in places though! Even though i had to be very careful the noise it makes is amazing. Well chuffed

I get the car next weekend, so could be interested too. Any ideas where you are thinking oh heading? I'm in the peak district.

Now I know the reason why a 2 seater is better ! no room for spogs in the back.

I have the same model, but in the saloon version. I would NEVER let mine get into such a state inside. looks like they kept livstock in it. Looks superb now though, hope they keep it that way, no way to treat an Alfa ! PS: Counting down til Z day. It arrives in 12 days, and counting.............

I bet it will look lovely in the sunshine afterwards

Cheers guys. From what i read, lots of people rate either Toyo's or Falken's. I will have to try hard to wear the Bridgstones out then

The car I am getting in a few weeks, has bridgestones all round. They look to have plenty of tread left, but I have seen quite a few threads saying that they are poor on a Z. What's the issue with them? is it a grip or a wear problem? Cheers!

Really like the look of that print. Will check back to your site to see when it's available. Cheers.

Congratulations mate, got yourself a good deal there. I've still not taken the plunge yet, but prices are still falling so I'm hesitant about buying because however good deals are now they will be so much better in a couple more months. Mind you I've seen a few 06s kicking around for the £13-14k mark which is mighty tempting.... I think so, but i know what you mean abaout prices still falling. I was tempted to stretch the budget for an 06 model but decided to settle for a mint low mileage 05 instead. Good luck with your search, i'm sure you will find what you want soon

Its ready now really, well after the p3 is done. But i need to sort some money out which is locked away in an account, plus the roads are so bad at the moment, i would rather wait a little. Its only a toy not a daily driver so i want to keep it as pristine as i can. Cant bloody wait though

I know what you mean, but dont tell the wife! why do I always pick the most expensive hobbies?

Today I finally agreed a deal on a 350Z. Its the one I posted about yesterday. In the end after much pushing I did get 12 months Nissan warranty, rather than the three originally offered. Going in at the weekend to put some cash down, but basically its mine I wont be picking it up until the start of Feb though. its a GT, GM grey RAYS alloys and 26K miles on an 05. Thanks to all who posted replies to my questions. Will post a few pics as soon as I have some.

Thanks CS. This puts the offer i have in the ball park for sure. i will look into the warranty thing tomorrow.

yes, it's from a dealer ooop north. i have tried everything i can to get the basic price down. (even walked out ) but thats his final offer. i uess he might move on the warranty. i will give it a try. thanks all

I have been offered (from a dealer) an 05 350 GT Coupe, GM Grey and Rays. 26K miles and good nick (seen it) for £12,900. (originally on at 14.5) Its due a P3 soon, (on age rather than miles) and they have said they will do this before collection. Full dealer SH, 3 months warranty thrown in. Does this sound OK to those who have more of a clue than I do? Cheers, Craig.

thanks for all of your help guys. I will be looking at both GT and non GT versions too !

MAB wrote: The rev up engine (296bhp) is notoriously thirsty on oil, I had to have a new short engine on mine (under warranty of course) at only 22K miles Blimey, i new short motor at 22K, scary. What would i look for to ensure that i dont get stuck with one which needs the same?

Many thanks for that. it does look great. if i can get away from work i will have a look at that one. Fits the bill perfectly !

Thanks Stew. I will see what else is posted. In two minds at the moment.

Looking for a 350Z. Budget is 14 to 15K 06 > 350Z GT coupe - Rays alloys. Colour prefer GM, then Azure, then Silver. Black interior. Must be a UK car. HPI clear, totally straight. FSH etc etc. Thanks for looking !
