Hi guys, Without wasting anyones time I thought it'd be easier to post a wanted post as I'm not specifically able to buy just yet... I'm currently on secondment in Melbourne and not returning to the UK till June. I'm however in the market for a 350Z and my 'ultimate' spec would be a Red 350Z with GT pack and Rays. It's obviously a rarer colour but I've got my heart set on it after seeing one in the flesh (and I loved my old Focus ST in red!). Ideally I have around £8k to spend... but I'm not restricted to it if the right car comes along. Alternatively, I do have my Megane diesel for sale which I could straight swap, or swap plus cash your way if required. . Drop me a PM if you're looking to part with your Red 350Z around my sort of timeframe Cheers guys! Matt. [Admin] Car details removed. Please see the For Sale section and do not post items for sale/trade outside of the relevant section.

Thumbs up for the welcome guys! Much appreciated! I currently work for an aviation training company (www.oaa.com) in their Group Marketing / Design function - we've bases all round the world but the one in Melbourne is pretty new and they sent me out here to get all the core marketng materials produced and do the photography, filming etc for the base out here. Must admit, I can't complain - great company to work for and the opportunity was to good to pass up! Just means I've to wait until I get back to the UK to get myself into a Zed... it's killing me!

Hey Nick, I have to admit my fav colour by far is the red - my old Focus ST had a red/black theme and it's by far a colour that just 'does it' for me. I'm currently down-under in Melbourne till June, but if you haven't sold the car by then and you're still interested in selling, drop me a PM as I'd be interested in coming up from Oxford to view. My current RS Megane should have sold in the time I'm out here so I'll simply have cash waiting to make the sale much easier. Cheers chap, Matt.

Happy days - thanks for the warm welcomes guys! Looks like I could setup a stylish courier business with a boot full of boxes like that...

Hey guys, I'm Matt, from nr Oxford and currently making plans to get into a Zed in the near future. I did have a Focus ST until a huge commute forced me to chop it in for a Renaultsport Megane 175 (the sports diesel) which is what I'm currently running. I've since got my dream job locally, and no longer have that commute and so can now afford to run something a little more fun! Don't get me wrong though - the RS is a good car as far as practicality and fun go (when it comes to a diesel) - I never thought I'd say that, but I was surprised! I'm actually on a secondment in Melbourne 'down under' until June so I'm in no rush, but before I left to come out here, I had a chance to drive a few cars, but settled on the 350 for both my price bracket (8 - 10k) and for the overall 'package'. S2000 - I genuinely felt uncomfy - I'm 6'2" and the wheel was jabbing my knees when changing gears. RX8 - I did try an RX... despite a friends recommendation against one due to his own problems, it was nice but just didn't spark anything 350Z - loved it from the moment I sat in it - felt more spacious, would feel happier on a longer distance drive and better as a daily driver (due to the torque) One thing I didn't really get to think about though was the practicality. I have no requirement for a huge boot or storage space, I've no family to worry about, but I did just wonder how others find the boot space as a daily drive? Could you fit a few bags of shopping on the shelf? No hard braking though if there isn't the divider panel... or that could end in tears! It's certainly not a deciding factor in my buying a Zed (besides I rarely carry passengers so there is always a bit of room on the passenger side ) I'm hoping my Megane sells with my parents while I'm away in Oz, and I've had a few offers around £8.5k which is brilliant - do you think a good example of a Zed can be picked up for around this sort of money? Might as well throw up a pic of the old ST and my current Megane...
