Such a friendly and welcoming bunch - even more reason to get a 350z!
Shaun - your car looks good except it's missing one important thing for me... a third pedal..... It's got to be manual for me I'm afraid.
Had a feeling you'd all think my budget is a bit skinny. However I've seen quite a few reasonable looking cars with dealers for £6k - and we all know they have £500-£1k built in as a part ex allowance. Therefore I assumed that either a private sale or readies under a dealers nose would see me in a zed for £5k! I'm going to start looking in earnest this week but I usually prefer to buy privately from someone who has cared for and knows lots about their car rather than a trader just looking for their next sale.
Unlike most I'm not that bothered about GT spec as I plan on changing the seats for aftermarket racing seats anyway. This is due to me being freakishly proportioned and that I struggle for headroom in just about everything. My head just about clears in a 350z but no chance of getting a crash helmet on - which I like to do occassionally, (on track days of course, I'm not some weirdo that drives to Tesco in a skid lid!). Also I never listen to any music in a 'fun' car, (especially one that has such a good built in soundtrack) so the GT spec stereo is of no appeal either really And as for cruise control - I want this car for summer driving/camping trips around Wales so will be mucho gear shifting!
So a reasonably well looked after car with tatty seats would suit me just fine! Wish me luck!
