Hi guys, 
  
Thanks for the welcome and the advice so far

Significantly more expensive - presumably paying for the reassurance of buying from a main dealer - worth the extra 3k however? 
  
Can I also ask, S2000's (which is my other favourite) are in general exceptionally reliable - is the 350Z as good/nearly as good (assuming its been taken care of?). 
  
Cheers
