Just been to look at it, and I walked away for these reasons: • There was only 2 Nissan stamps in the book (all others were different local garages) • Cheap tyres all around • Wouldn't give me enough for my MX5 (I know they never do, but I explained my car on the phone to him yesterday and he promised £1500 for it, but went back on his word today, and I did give him a very good description of my car even explaining there was some rust) • Salesman was a complete dick and wore far too much jewellery. He was taking calls from other potential buyers while I was looking around the car and wasn't paying any attention to me • No tax on it at all • Due a service which he refused to do The hunt continues, but I think I might buy privately then at least I don't have to deal with old school idiot salesmen.

What do I look for in a duff clutch? Also, isn't a major service with plugs due around this mileage?

Will keep you posted. So basically I should be hoping that it's had a new clutch, big service and no clicky axel noise?

Going to see it tomorrow. I'm nervous about the running costs. I've been used to 28ish MPG and £50 tyres in my MX5 lol!!

Ah ok yeah might help haha, here it is http://www.ellisofcastleford.co.uk/used-cars/nissan-350-z-3-5-v6-3dr-castleford-201228478583261 I'm in Halifax, the car is in Castleford

Hi all, i've just registered with the forum to try and gain some knowledge. I'm hoping to trade in my beloved Mk1 MX5 for a Z. I've seen one at a local garage, in blue, GT pack, 2003, 56k and it seems to tick all the boxes. I'm a bit nervous as I know MX5's like the back of my hand, but don't know what to look for in terms of a Z. I've read all the buyers guides on here but can anyone give me any extra advice? Thanks in advance. Jonny
