Hi – I’m new here. I’ve wanted a 350z for years and have finally been given permission to buy one. I’ve researched running costs and insurance etc but wondered what thoughts were on buying a reasonably high-mileage (85k) 2003 model. I’ve checked the car out and no finance, write-offs etc and it does look well maintained (wheels have been reconditioned and look as good as new). I’d also get it inspected before purchase.
I’m just weighing up spending £5k on a car vs £8k (which is the range I’m looking at). £5k gets me an older car with higher mileage but if it’s in good condition I could be tempted. £8k gets lower mileage and a bit newer but not sure if it’s worth it given the running costs of both will be similar.
Any thoughts?
