If its burning oil it should smoke out the exhaust though shouldn't it? 65k isnt alot for one of these is it?

Excellent thanks for that mate, really appreciated. Is the clicking distinctive enough or do you really have to listen for it? They seem really reliable with not much to look for! Can't say the same for BMW lol

Ah mate that's further than I have to travel I don't want to make you rush about everywhere fella, maybe instead you could pm with some info and tips in what to look for so at least I'm more clued up, things like listening to the engine on start up etc, that would just as appreciated mate. I've read the buyers guide but you can never have to much info

Ah mate that would be legendary! It's down in whittle if your familiar with the area, il be there for about 11am, really hoping its a nice one lol, it won't be putting you well out the way though would it mate? Wouldn't want to interupt your day fella

I saw one on sunday and it looked great in the photos until I got there took it for a drive to get the hang of what they hold feel like but didn't buy it as it was a bit rough. I've got all the time in the world to buy one so no rush but I am after a blue one if this one isn't right then il leave it but the owner sounds decent and it looks pretty imacculare in the advert so I really hope it's the one. Time will tell

Thats true, il give them a call if I buy the car and hopefully they have a slot free in the afternoon

Theres a Nissan dealer a mile away from the guys house, thought it would be worth getting it checked before a longish drive home. Otherwise i can stop off at Nissan in Croydon where forum gets discount for a check up and maybe a P1 service

Thats what im taking tomorrow 7k in cash he'll take it im sure and then i can go and get it checked out by Nissan on the way home and hope all is good I find the price perfectly reasonable and the colour, spec etc perfect for me

Heres the link to the car http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p What you guys think?

Hi guys I know its a long shot with everyone at work and busy in general, but i was wondering if anyone would be kind enough tomorrow around 11am to come and view a Z with me, theres beer money in it if so required. Just wanted a specifically trained 2ns pair of eyes on it. The car is in Chelmsford, Essex if anyones local to it Cheers all Arran

Cheers will give that a bash

Ah il give them a call see what they say no harm in trying I suppose otherwise it's elephant again lol

I consider myself old at 22 certainly feel it, I had the 328i at 19 through to last Saturday never had problems insuring that. I'm looking at UK cars hopefully shouldn't be a problem

Maybe tis worth a call to them then and asking about it

Afternoon people Ive looked in the insurance section but the posts etc are from 2008 so i dont know wether there still valid. I can get insured on a 350 for just under £900 fully comp, me being 22 probably doesnt help Do members still get discount as i wouldnt mind seeing if i can save a little, maybe enough to pay for a H-Dev stage 1 kit Cheers guys Arran

I've done a full hpi at work it's good to go, he said it has 4 Nissan stamps and 2 independent ones, il check when I see it but it looks a very nice example imo

Oh that would be great, someone may even know the car! Heres the link, it looks beautiful, owner sounds good to http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p What you think guys?

If I don't pick the azure one up Tuesday, il gladly get taken out in a nice looked after example with a few upgrades There's not really alot to look for problem wise is there? Doesn't seem that way according to the guide, I suppose it should feel nice and tight no rattles, bangs etc just the usual checks

Il be there mate don't worry

I'm from Epsom fella

Replied in the thread

Cheers for the welcome guys, where's the parrot i may well come along to that certainly be good to check out the metal on show and get some more advice.

Hi all My names Arran, I'm 22 from Surrey Signed up as I've heard this is the place to be when owning a Z I sold my E36 328i Sport on Saturday and went to view an Azure blue GT spec 350 today, looked great in the photos but sadly when we turned up wasn't all it was cracked up to be and the test drive confirmed this, 2nd crunched a little and the interior creaked also the suspension didnt feel tight like a friend of mines example. So I'm viewing another two in the next two days, a black GT and another azure blue GT I really hope the next blue one is the car for me, love the colour and spec. So there we have it look forward to getting to be a part of the club, any info or tips you guys have for me would be greatly appreciated! I've had a look at the buying guide too Cheers guys Arran
