I live in Glasgow Harbour just outside Partick.

yes, the downside of the 95 is the handling, it doesn't do corners very well, but get the aero on a motorway or straight road and nothing much leaves it at all. I have kept up with an Aston Martin DB9 and also a 350Z kept with me a while ago. The torque is really good in the 95, remember it being on Top Gear and them stating that from 50-70 mph there isn't much that can beat it's timings not even whatever model of Ferrari they were talking about. But I think the 350Z will be a lot more fun to drive and much nicer to look at.

Glasgow, the budget I have set is based on what I have seen cars available for in the local area. Although all I have seen are garage sales, not seen any private sales on Autotrader. Anywhere else I could be looking to find a good model in the Glasgow or surrounding areas? Is there anyone with a very high mileage 350Z? My Saab 95 still blows most cars away and I have racked up 149,000 miles, although only half of those were my own miles In comparison when I bought my 95 it was approaching 4 years old and was only £7k, but Saabs fall like a stone, which is great when your buying second hand because the level of kit your getting for your money is amazing. Also how easy is it to upgrade the 350Z, on the 95 I can get an ECU upgrade for roughly £500 but on the Aero it only adds around 25-30 BHP. What would I be looking at as upgrades for the 350Z if I want to get more out the GT?

I currently own a 52 plate Saab 95 Aero 250bhp. My last 5 cars have been Saab 95's and feel like changing although the performance for so little money in the second hand market is hard to beat. I have started looking at getting a 350Z and wondered if people can give me some advice on what to look out for when I go to see some cars. I am probably looking at around a 54 plate and spending around £11.5k or thereabouts as I have already seen a nice black 54 plate GT in that pricerange. Is there expensive services at certain mileage I should be aware of as I see a lot of cars at 53 and 54 plates with between 33k-45k miles on them and wondering if people are getting rid of them before they get hit in the pocket... Also how goes with insurance, I have about 8 years no claims and pay roughly £400 a year for my Saab which I believe is group 16, can I expect a massive hike in insurance? Would I be best to stick with a GT or is the standard model ok?
