If anyone is interested it has now been reduced on Autotrader to £10,980. Lovely colour.

I saw this last week on autotrader and also thought it was a great price. I didn't want a roadster so didn't view it in person.

A couple of reasons why it might be low priced:

1. It's not actually black. The car itself has blue paint and then a black wrap has been applied over it. So, if someone is after a blue car they won't want the hassle of taking this off, and if you want a black car then you have to keep applying a wrap when the current one wears away.

2. The big white zed and carbon fibre pattern sticker on the cubby and gear stick area is not the nicest in my view.

3. The Nissan logo on the boot has been lost or damaged.

Unless its your phone or whatever exhaust you have the engine shouldn't have that drumming sound, mines certainly doesn't do that and I haven't heard any other either. Does it go away after a while and is this something that has appeared. Could be just another cars characteristics but that drumming doesn't sound right to me...

Could it be due to a cold start on a very cold morning?

Sounds fine to me

Course you would say that! lol

Hi I saw another thread that a member has started on a car hes looking to buy and has posted a video of the engine. So I thought I'd do the same!

This car is another forum members car, it looks clean inside and out. Hes been very kind to answer my million questions and has now sent me a video of the car running.

Same video, first time I've uploaded so signed up to both sites in case one doesnt work.

The video shows the car from a cold start on a very cold morning! I'd appreciate any opinions, especially if you think the engine sounds healthy/normal/good condition etc.

Thanks!

Nice car, great colour wheels too. I'm new here so dont know what KM means.

What do you mean by "The car is showing 60 000 miles, but it will actually be substantially less than that as it was converted from KM in 2010"

I'd be happy to pay £50 for the fuel and time if a forum member wants to take me for a quick spin?

I'm based in North Central London (Islington), and am in my 30's so not a boy racer at all.

Yes, it was a spur of the moment thing to go to the dealers, I should have called ahead and asked if I could drive it. Lesson learnt for next time!

Would be great if a fellow forum member wants to take me for a spin in theirs!

Hi, I'm keen on getting a 350z, but have never driven one before. I'd like to do a test drive before purchasing one, but it seems the couple of dealers I've visited only allow a test drive once the deal has been made a price agreed and then allow the drive as a formality. I've found this to be rather odd, as I've always been able to test drive cars at main dealers for Mercedes and Volkswagen in the past by just showing the smallest amount of interest in a vehicle. Having never purchased from an independent dealer before, is this normal practice? Is there anywhere I could test drive a 350z? Preferably in the south of the country.

I also considered hiring a 350z for the day but can't seem to find anywhere online that does this. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks for all the advice guys! I'm currently leaning towards the HR models, as the reviews and most people on the forum are pushing me towards it! However, if a well priced low mileage DE comes along I'll snap it up

Hi, my first post here! I've had a search around the forum but can't find a conclusive answer to my question. I'm sure it's been answered before but I couldn't find it, sorry!

What is the difference with the 350z GT vs the standard 350z? So far as far as I can tell it just means added heated seats and BOSE sound system. Did the GT's come with RAYS wheels too? Most of the ones for sale seem too.

Also, it is worth paying up the extra for a HR model or not? Thanks!
