Hi guys, new member here from Australia. I had a 350z 2004 Convertible in Australia. It wasn't the track model so so Brembos but had a JWT Popcharger, Fujitsubo exhaust, plenum spacer, big audio install. I loved it!
I need to buy another car soon as I am going to hand my company car back. I have a few questions about the models though and which might be the best option for me. I know basically there is the 280is hp car. The 300 Rev Up and the 313. I do remember driving the 313 GT in Australia for a quick spin and it was definite step up!
Of course the answer is always to buy on condition and service history etc but do you think I should:
1. Buy an 04-05 car and try and get a bargain like 5-7k and get the cheaper road tax? More likely to find a slightly modded one as well?
2. Pay a bit more for a 300 Rev up to get the facelift and extra HP? Big Road Tax though
3. Guy a 05 GT4 to get the newer engine but cheaper road tax? (If that's right) Like Miss Sunshines?
4. Go the whole hog and buy a 313 GT with Nav etc since I am already paying the bigger tax. Was there a lot of other upgrades to this car?
Where is the sweet spot for buying a 350Z? What seems to be the most popular in case my circumstances change and need to move it on?I don't care if it's a Coupe or a Convertible (as I loved mine) but would probably side towards a Coupe in our lovely Scottish climate!
I don't really want to buy an Import as UK cars seem easy enough to find.
I had to get a new roof and the gearbox rebuilt on my 350Z but it was all under warranty thank God! $5,000 bill it was going to be!
I look forward to hearing from you all soon! Don't let me buy a Fully worked 3.2 Mk1 Audi that I have found if this is a better move!
