Noob alert! Why is this a sticky?

choptop has graciously volunteered to show me around the variations at Castle Combe tomorrow so hopefully will be wiser and in a better position to make an informed decision then.

Kinda like this baby: click, but it's top-dollar for private sale. IMO. Opinions?

It was getting on a bit really. I'd had it four years and it is coming up to 19 years old and >120k miles. It still went and sounded like nothing else but the upkeep was becoming a little laborious. You can see my summary on PH here: click and the detail here: click. I'd get another Tiv in a heartbeat but need a year or two off - they're draining; mentally, physically and financially.

Struggling to search for what's probably been asked a million times - is the GT more desirable than the semi-skimmed version? I gather it's cruise, wheels and leather - anything else of interest? Cruise control is of no use to me, most cars of this type (and the age I'm looking at) probably have after market rims by now or may have selected the Rays rims as an option - same for leather. Was it the US market that had stability control on the non-GT only but traction control on both? So far I can't justify the c. £500-1,000 premium for the GT, unless I'm missing something?

Pretty sure you'd have to be on your hands and knees to even notice it. Depends how your OCD meds are working.

Blimey! My old TVR passed four MOTs in my stewardship with a measured 114db - that's proper loud.

Thanks. No sound for me though...

Made me smile too.

Hmmm. And I was concerned about buying a 50k miles car. You've inspired me - probably buy the first I see now.

Sorry dude - still broken - it has a spurious "gearchange" on the end.

Linky is broken for Suspension clicking. Found the article here: http://www.350z-tech.com/wiki/index.php/TSB_04-065_-_Suspension_Clicking_Noise_From_Rear_Axle

Thanks. I'd seen that one but was expecting more - that's what comes from having just got rid of a TVR. The 'issues' were numerous, though not too onerous.

Morning all. I'm on the lookout for an early-ish 350Z and just wondered if there are any buyers guides about? I've had a quick squint around the site but not found any yet - any pointers gratefully received. NB restricted budget c £10k. FWIW I'm off to see my first one tonight: It's a 2004 with 50k miles - any thoughts?
