I know - Obviously all the paperwork and paint matters but Im not going to know if Im interested in buying it until I've driven it! Yeah it was a bit annoying and Ive decided I wont be dealing with them - just save n sell mine

Went to go and see it - wasn't allowed a test drive unless I agreed a deal and the only thing that could make me back out is if the car wasn't right somewhere.. Im done with salesmen. As advised I am going to get the wheels done and audi really tidy, put a grand or 2 aside and wait for one to come up privately, hopefully on here

cheers roadtrip - I know exactly what I'm looking at now. Seems it is on the high side price wise as advised by others. I'll let you all know what this grey one is like.

What would work in my favour is the one in trader in Burton also has an avant version of my car for sale with lesser wheels and no black optics pack for 8700. That will help my way. Im still confused about that grey one in burton - If Im correct, its revup engine but it has the bonnet bulge bumper? Im just about to go look at this too - Older than I would have liked but could be clean. I don't want to spend beyond my means which I think an HR is. http://www.jdmotorcompany.co.uk/used-cars/nissan-350-z-3-5-v6-3dr-toton-201403142518199

welcome - similar budget to me - Im also on the hunt

We buy any car offers 7 too but apparently you take it there and they just knock it down on minor things i.e. the odd stonechip. Is 7k really too much for that? I see you got yours for that but yours is higher mileage and older - like you say though its on condition and SH more than mileage. I'll see how it is and report back. Thanks

cheers guys, I'll test drive it tomorrow but wont fall in love with it - promise lol

cheers. Definitely will be knocking down by a fair bit if its nice. If hes funny about it, the offers there... Clutch would be expected soon if not done and also what mileage is the major service that's like inspection 2 equivalent?

cheers

Awesome, will do, thanks everyone - Im looking forward to it

Good stuff! I did ring to confirm the one in Burton is a GT so lets see what happens out of Saturday. Could be dog too!

Cheers mate - I always have that worry when people are looking round my car for sale that they are scoping the house out after being burgled in the past... My car is in very good nick and has been well looked after and I think I will be losing out on a grand on part exchange but doing one deal and not having time wasted etc is a lot easier. I like my audi a lot but just want that noise and grin factor again. The fact I like the audi will mean I will hold out for the right Z which is good.

Haha mental. Its down the road from where I work so thought why not. Im hoping this grey one is straight.... Do you mind me asking what you paid as its not far off yours (bar the extra 20k on clock)? How are you finding it also?.

Wow Jim nice timing! thank f*ck you turned up haha. When I went to see it it was in the bodyshop!!! I was a bit annoyed with what they offered me for audi so walked out anyways. I noticed earlier services were late on it too. I'll check out this grey one as its seeming HR is a little out of budget - what did you go for? Thanks too!

There is also the thing that If he gave me 7 for mine, I got him to 7.5 I'd only be 500 out which I'd pay out of my paycheck and not have to do a savings dip. We will see. Thanks for all the help/input! I'll test Saturday, if its bang on I'll contact him the following week. I'll try and test drive the blue one next week also

Ahh nice one,thanks. So, I wont rule it out then. I'll go and test drive it and see if its on the money - what price would you put on this grey one?

Is that definitely high tax then that grey one? How much would you say its worth? I could sell the audi privately but it would be like a chain effect - don't want to be without a car and also don't want pressure time wise with getting the 350z. Ideally, don't want to go over 8k budget wise...

That's the kind of input Im after too, thanks, says a lot if you guys think its overpriced. Went to see this one but it was in the bodyshop :-/ they also offered 7k for audi... http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201403022188057/sort/default/usedcars/maximum-age/up_to_8_years_old/make/nissan/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/postcode/ng97ja/model/350_z/seller-type/trade_adverts/page/1/price-to/9000/price-from/7500/radius/45?logcode=p

Hmm I'll see when I get there as for tax then. I'll drive it Saturday just to get a feel but wont go for it unless price is close to the audi and all is spot on

but that one I posted is still high tax but not hr? Meaning 06 is the high tax but non hr I guess.. EDIT - Doesn't state tax..

Ive been offered 7 for the audi which I thought was low but p/x is going to be a lot easier. I don't want to really spend more than a grand so I don't know if it will be in reach. I'll keep eyes open and try both though - thanks

Thanks - that helps a lot - the one I posted must be just short of HR by its year as HR came on 06 at some point? I'll gve it a go and see what I think. Its my first decent RWD so I think I'd still be happy with 280!

cheers guys, I was unsure if 280 or 300 but have read through revisions/engine updates- should I hold out for an HR or is the difference minimal from the drivers seat?

Hi all, been looking through buying guides etc and will be test driving the first 350z this weekend. Guides have been really useful. Currently driving an a4 2.0T special edition (07). I really do like car - its built well and has a bit of go but I'm missing the grins my jap cars gave me and feeling old before my time (am 24). I have relocated with work and am doing far fewer miles so thought why not. I average around 28 in a4 - 23-25mpg wont upset me....My man maths are strong and I'll be busy with window down and open ears. Car wise I went from starlet turbo x2, s13, Toyota Levin bz-r then to the audi. Booked in to see this on Saturday - will it be the 280hp engine and should I be bothered if not? http://www.rdmdirect.co.uk/used-cars/nissan-350-z-3-5-v6-3dr-burton-on-trent-201309268971895 Thanks and hello!
