  1. Hi Guys.

     

    So as you all know im looking to pick up a facelifted roadster at the moment.

     

    Annual bonus should come in at the end of this month so looking to splash out.

     

    Anyway MartinMac has shown me a car which is bassed up in Barrow in Furness and I am in London.

     

    This weekend I am planning to see a couple out in Essex and possibly the one in Bedford at Evans (whatchamacallit) both 313 facelifted.

     

    now it seems to me that there are veryvery few on the market at the moment which is proving to be a real pain, so I am considering going for a 2006 model as there seem to be a lot more about and I could potentially save myself some cash for a few more mods.

     

    So anyway, I was wondering if anyone was based in and around Barrow, I think there are a few members MartinMac mentioned but I cant remember their names.

     

    Would someone be able to give it the once over for me and take it for a spin to see what the car is like and also if any problems are noticeable because from my understanding it has been sitting in their showroom for the last 6 months or so, its on an 07 plate and has only done 6000 miles so I am a little nervous.

  2. Lexx - Sorry I did put something but there was an error with the page loading, I basically went down the lines of, I am obviously looking at the various pistonheads, autotrader, nissan used cars (Which hasnt been updated in weeks I will add)

     

    I was hoping that memebers would know of any hidden gems at local dealers etc, MartinMac answered that very question and has found me one in Barrow, even though it is the other side of the world its marked at 18k with only 6000 miles, only problem is its 5 hhours away.

     

    Also other members have PM me direct offering me their cars, one which is very intresting but needs to be explored in more detail.

     

    So no offence mate, all is much apprecaited and this club has helped me out loads so far so very happy.

     

     

    KEN - 12 months to find the perfect Z, that is dedication, I wont be waiting that long, I cant buy till the end of this month anyway, and have a few im looking at very closely, but then again, there are a number of unmolested models which I could get with peace of mind warantee that would be cheaper and easier to buy than off a private seller who has done a few mods.

     

    Decissions Decissions

  3. Majority of private sales will be through Autotrader and/or pistonheads and/or ebay.

     

    Nissan Dealer cars will be through the Nissan Used car network (access from http://www.nissan.co.uk)

     

    Im afraid I am struggling a little bit as to what you want from members? I mean, if you seen all the cars we've already posted, and are already looking in those places where cars are advertised, then what else can we do? I odnt think we have any clairvoyant members.

    No offense, but Im not gunna sit online all day looking at these sites to spot a car specially for you. Im having enough trouble trying to sort out my next car.

     

    Welcome to the club by all means, its a great place to hang out, and there is a wealth of information here, when used correctly.

    My advice is to use it in this way;

     

    - Find a car you like the looks off (seems there are plenty out there that match your requirements)

    - post a link up on here for members views

    - ask if any members know the history of the car.

    - If its a trek away from where you live, a kind enough member may offer to go give it a once over for you.

    Thanks, I have seen all of these and will be viewing them!

     

    As I did say in my post I look over Autotrader and Pistonheads all day long so I am seeing these coming up.

     

    What i am more intrested in is to find out those not on these websites, on delaer forecourts etc or private.

     

     

    :teeth::teeth::p:p:bangin::bangin:

  5. But the car you've bought is not a MY07, which is what he wants.....

     

    yep ok fair point but..... the fella is looking for

     

    Facelift 350Z Roadster GT MY07

    Mileage under 30k

    black or silver

    off a dealer

    Budget is around 15k

     

    i want a lamborghini gallardo spyder and have a budget of 15k doesnt mean that i am going to find it :p

     

    a quick search on autotrader finds lots of black or silver MY07 Facelift roadsters with under 30k from dealers but the budget will have to be more like 16k and up unless you can do some bargaining with the dealer. i recon go look at some of the 16k ones and try knocking them down :thumbs:

     

    or buy slightly older one if the budget is the sticking point

     

     

     

    Budget isnt a sticking point, can move around so not a problem, but that was my guideline.

  6. you wont find any (unmodified!) Azure's with a buldge as they had stopped producing them by the time the buldging bonnets made it :thumbs:

     

     

    What a shame, why did they really screw us on the colours over here, so its either black, silver or some dodgy dark blue!!!!

     

    Any good?

     

    http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2489481.htm

     

    It's a great car and only 15k miles, just had a service!

     

    Nice try, but wrong colour and its not a roadster.

     

    Will also note, my first car was a baked bean punto, so cant get another orange car.\

     

    especially so that my old man, back in the 70's only bought orange cars and sold them on with his brother, so random!!!!

  7. Hey all.

     

    So been looking very hard for the last few weeks, MartinMac has shown me 1, and I do plan to see if, even if it is 300 miles away lol.

     

    Anyway im looking for the following.

     

     

    Facelift 350Z Roadster GT (with the bulge), so post 07.

     

    Mileage should be under 30k.

     

    ideally looking at black or silver, or the azure blue (cant seem to find many of these at all)

     

    Ideally looking to get off a dealer but will consider a private sale.

     

    Budget is around 15k, however will stretch it for the right car, e.g an 09 plate.

     

     

    It seems there are very few on the market, only a handful on pistonheads and autotrader.

     

    So if you know any local dealers with one, or any private sales I would apprecaite the heads up.

     

    It seems the few online have been on the market for quite a while.

     

    is there not much of a market for these at the moment?

     

     

    cheers all.

  8. Hi all, as per my intro page, I soon hope to be the owner of a z in the next few weeks.

     

    however I have noticed that most people on here tend to go for 04 - 06 models rather than picking up a newer model 07-09.

     

    i have read that the 07 + are the facelifted model, with a lager engine i believe these are all the 313's??

     

    is there any particular reason people go for the older models??

     

    is it purely a money situation or am i missing something???

  9. Guys would be intrested to know, i have found a car with very low miles, under 6000 and its on a 2007 plate, my main concern would be around the servicing schedule being out of sync as it has hardly been driven for 3 years, now the garage will service the car if i were to buy it, but then how would it proceed?

  10. Hi All.

     

    So been reading the board for a few weeks now, and thought I better sign up now as I think I have finally made my mind up on the next motor.

     

    Not had anything for the last 3 years, well had a Renault Sport Clio 182 at the end of last year but sold it as it was boring.

     

    So been debating recently about what to get, looking at z4m, boxsters, evo, csl and 370z. Finally decided I would reduce my 25k spent and save myself a few quid to put elsewhere and also not **** of the missus, and have now decided I want a 350z roadster.

     

    So will be on the hunt soon, looking private and at dealers, would prefer to buy from Nissan as would like some waranty, however their used car stock is pretty poor at present, only have a number of 2006 models when ideally I am looking at 07 / 08 or 09 although i dont see many about.

     

    Did they not make many Z's in 2009???

     

    Have made a few plans, not bothered on colour as looking to get it wrapped, few friends with GTR's have recently had their's done and it looks amazing.

     

    Still not sure on what im looking at, for example when you look on auto trader there is no real way to understand what Hp your looking at and extras etc, and the nissan site isnt much help either, so will just have to go on the advice from you guys.

     

    Im based in London, there is a z at the end of my road so not sure if anyone from balham is on here.

     

    Would be good to hear from any London owners.
