  1. Ah, missed your link in your previous post Nice looking car mate. £245 a year road tax too - always a bonus! Just haggle like mad on the price
  2. This one you mean? Looks like a nice one mate - I took a facelift one for a test drive today too, the interior is nice. Pity the salemen were trying to rob me!
  3. Thanks for the info, good to know! The MY06 engine is the tuneable rev-up one I keep seeing mentioned? As for getting someone local to look it over, that would be brilliant if someone is willing to do that. It's located in Seaham, near Sunderland. There would be a couple of beers in it for them!
  4. I take it the Ultra Yellow doesn't refer to the colour of the car? The seller was talking about it being a 35th Anniversary edition so that matches up. Is there info on those somewhere? I like to know what im buying! Busy sorting insurance now. Strangely, even with JDM and exhaust declared Admiral and Bell are coming out cheaper than Sky (my current insurers).
  5. Thanks all - its down as a 35th anniversary edition on the docs the seller has if that sheds any light on it? Listed as 300bhp. Im not fussed if it is a special edition or not, though it would be nice if it was I guess. Didn't see any "5 of 500" type plates anywhere but wasn't looking too hard and wouldn't know where to look regardless. I was thinking i'd be aiming under the £9k mark Not sure exactly when it was made, but it was imported after only 3000 ish kilometers so likely 04 or 05. I have been looking at a couple of the cars for sale here too. The gunmetal grey GT is nice!
  6. Hi all, Im in the market for a 350Z at the moment - test drove one yesterday and fell a bit in love with it! I've currently got a 51 plate Thunder Grey Toyota Celica 190 that i'll be sad to see go, but the step up in power cannot be ignored! Thats before the wheels and skirts went on - cant find a current picture unbelievably! The car I drove yesterday is this cheeky little Fairlady Z imported onto an 05 plate (hoping that should see it on the low tax brakets) I believe it is a special edition car? Is it a GT4 or the JDM version of? No Satnav and I don't think it has heated seats. Took it for a test drive and it was lovely. You seem to be sitting higher up than I would have thought. Then again my Celica is lowered so my a**e scrapes the ground in that! Doesn't feel as frantic as the Celica but its certainly quick. Has an aftermarket 'JSW' exhaust on it, dual exit, burnt tip. Nice sound to it but not too loud. Having said that I have a Invidia on my Celica so not many things are loud by comparison! Stupidly I didn't pop the bonnet so im not sure if theres mods in there or not. Gear stick had a noticeable vibration to it when driving, is this normal for the Zed? The Celicas is quite stable by comparison. The wheels will need some refurb work as they have been kerbed in places and there is a small 50p sized shallow dent on one of the panels - seller says he can get that sorted out though. Might test drive a couple more to use as a marker. Love the two tone seats on it though. It's up for £9450 but when I mentioned the exhause and that its an import the guy said he would come down on the price and may consider a part ex for the Celica which would make my life easier (once I de-mod and sell bits).
