  1. Any luck finding a suitable convertible?
  2. Okay thats trending. Lets make a video quick!
  3. *squints eyes* "what car is that? Get up close to him"
  4. Ive already seen some A35 shapes around In regards to parking in America they got the bumper protector foam you hang out the boot or hood. My brother uses it where he lives in San Francisco. Quite good http://www.bumperpad.com/bumper_blocker_rear_bumper_guard.html
  5. No worries. Maybe someone else can chime in.
  6. 2018 model onwards. Although some cars in late 2017 may have them. They wont admit it but the previous clutch wasnt the best.
  7. All down to who the staff are and how willing they are to help.
  8. The depreciation is higher for the Nismo only initially as its more expensive to buy. Once the car is over 1 year old with at least 6000+ miles its priced in the high 20,000s some brazenly priced at £30,000. Once the car reaches 2 years the Nismo tends to slow in depreciation compared to the equivalent GT. In UK the only Nismo 370 I have seen below £20,000 was a 2015 with 72,000 miles priced at £18,000. Which literally was for sale for 6 months. Initial depreciation is steep on the Nismo. Once at the lower 20,000s usually a 3 -4 year old car depreciation is already slowing down for the Nismo. According to carsalesbase site, Nissan are still selling over 200 cars worldwide per month. Some dealerships are discounting up to £4000 pounds to boost sales. The standard car rate of depreciation is slower initially compared to the Nismo. I still think the Nismo will hold more value in future. A 10 year old Nismo is more likely to command more than the GT equivalent same year same mileage
  9. I would think engine gearbox and electrical failures are covered. Apart from wear and tear. Although some aftermarket warranty providers cover wear and tear apparently.
  10. Ill call up to find out on tuesday. But does anyone have any experience of this? Are prices reasonable beyond the standard warranty for cars under 60,000 and 3-7 years old How about third party warranty companies Im looking at 15 plate Nismo
  11. beats a 911 Carrera service at £1000. £300 is an amazing price lol
  12. Tire noise in the 370 can be reduced by soundproofing the trunk area with some soundproofing material. Its a final shootout between the Mustang and the 370 then. What type of drive are you after. The Nismo is a bit hardcore I think. The Mustang being more compliant GT cruiser?!
  13. Apples and Oranges. Plus point for me living in London where most are German or GM....Something different tick!
  14. Thats what happens when everyone copies each other. You get a shock when something different turns up....Bahhhh
  15. Hopefully the designer stumbled across my Insta post calling it a dissapointment not that they care about this car anymore! Oh they are canning the roadsters in the U.S ....UK did in 2012
  16. This doesn't deserve 3 threads....
  17. £5500 Right now due to high mileage. You can probably play on the fact you had it resprayed and treated which many other zeds havent had the same treatment done yet. Also new clutch is a good selling point. zman is probably closer to the real value. But good to start high then work downwards.
  18. if looking at convertibles, Arent there lower mileage ones available? Look at maintenance/MOT/Service history. Some early years 2009-2013 were prone to steering lock issue. So check the fuse isnt still plugged in. Look up "steering wheel lock 370z" While the convertibles are nice, I found most places replace the roof. But mechanically it can be difficult to find someone to fix it if it stops working...if you arent DIY esque or a dab hand at repairing things I usually use clickmechanic when buying cars to have it inspected. For extra peace of mind unless you know a mechanic yourself. So you know what issues you might have to sort if any
  19. Admiral used to send viral emails regarding multi car policies. Not sure if they still do multi car policies.
  20. Judging by the name youre joking...
  21. Hi All, I already have a car which im looking to change to a Z using my no claims. Im looking into insuring a second car using 0 years NCD. If I was to keep the car for longer than a year. Would I start building NCD on a second car? Would that be fine to apply to another car within 2 years if I was sell and buy something else later. Basically is it possible to build "Parallel No Claims Bonus" even though your current core Policy already as 10 years. Since the multi car policy is becoming rarer and NCD isnt really applicable on secondary cars. Thanks in advance
  22. Both cars mk1 and mk2 are headturners and look great. No car is perfect something has to give. The fact it doesn't look like much else is a plus point In terms of classics it just depends. Who would have known the 1M would become. It might do due to the fact they may not make another Z or it would be the last NA car to come from this line also its limited numbers. Unless they reintroduced the Silvia with similar platform to MX5 Talking another 5-15 years to see that happen maybe. The 350z are going up though. Good examples are far and few between. Travelling far to find one is the norm now.
  23. Interior on the later BRZ are much better than GT86. Probably just me. I wonder how a supercharged BRZ/86 would fare against an Alpine? or something with 250-350 BHP The lights do look good on the later models
