Bought this today. 100% genuine. Couple of stone chips but nothing bad. Excellent condition. £100 bargain ...just need a 350z now hahaha

Hey hey Thanks to all for the friendly welcomes To the above, yep you will have seen me over on ccuk haha. And if the way is common Celica -> 350z then maybe there are some more members I will know haha. Also to the above, yep I was on the way to a meet haha, was a general one not just Celicas, I just traveled down with some Celica friends! Really sad and such a shame but as said it opens doors to move on and get something new. As long as I can get it looking some what as nice, I'll be happy I've had a look around over the last few days, not intense but just a little browse. Came up against a problem- I can't seem to find ANY for sale round here in garages! Haha all seem to be private :-/ and with that I'd rather be able to go and view a couple and test drive one atleast (hence garage) without having the intention to buy that specific car! Looks like its Gunna be a longgggggg road to finding the right one for me! And I'm in to thinking I'm going to end up having to travel! What I want is: Nismo kit if possible. Can buy later so not a great need. Lower mileage (54k sounds good with service done) I want full black leather, with heated and electric seats And I want the built in sat nav Not too fussed on the colour now, I've came to the conclusion to buy a more common colour for cheaper than the colour I want and use the savings to have it wrapped. Probably white. Looking to spend between around 6-8k and I'm wanting a totally unmolested blank canvas I dont want much do I haha. I'll carry on my search Thanks again people! Mikey

Well firstly, hello to all. Im Mikey and im 22 from stockton (north east) and now im looking for a 350z butttt i have a few questions before hand.. I was driving a celica however someone in a supra kindly flicked their back end in to my car which caused a write off.. so now im looking for something celica-ish shaped (coupe lol), but something with more power. Heres my celica And this is her now Its been registered as a cat c now, and tbh there is no point in putting money back in to her to bring her back to life as its just not financially viable. The car had cost over £11k and will be split when the insurance decide to offer me.. Good thing is though, the supra driver admitted liability, so all is fine in that department. Anyways, back to the 350z... I've never driven a rear wheel drive car before, the supra was - and the way that spun out sort of scared me off them, so how bad are they to actually drive? sun, snow, rain, wind etc etc.. as much info as possible! Is there a facelift and a prefacelift model? If so, whats the difference? Are there any faults to look out for? Common problems etc etc? Tuning options? I know with the celica, it had a daft ecu so tuning was limited unless lots of ££'s where spent - doesn't bother me although its easier to know sooner rather than later Any issues with mileage? Whats high? Whats low? Engines go bang? Eat oil? and what not And just any other general information about them you can give me as a first time owner going to look for the one for me I think ill be going for a < 2006 model as thats the cheaper tax bracket i believe? I begrudge paying near on £500 a year to drive my car, so the cheaper tax is the best option i believe. Shame really as newer models are obviously more desirable. And lastly, i'm thinking white is the way forward? Although if i really had to, it would be red or yellow if white wasn't available... That's it really, i hope to see you all sometime at some meets and shows and get to know some of you You may have seen my car at a show before, i don't know, but i look forward to the replies Cheers and hello again to all Mikey
