  1. I did see that one. It's spot on and well-priced compared to the others out there but the mileage is just too high for me, I'm afraid. I could stretch to 60k maybe but that's as far really. Thanks for the link though Fair point, well made. I have to stress though that mileage isn't the decisive factor by itself. It's certainly a vital component but condition/quality will need to be there also. I require low mileage simply as a safety net ... They're much easier to shift it needs be. I'll be doing 60 miles a day so in my book I need to start with a low base to keep the mileage reasonable. If I start with the above 82k example, after a year's worth of motoring it's potentially a 100k car, which will put certain punters off. Patience is not a friend of mine I'm trying as best I can and I'm trawling the classifieds everyday. Luck is a major element. Viewing two this weekend just to get some ideas and to start getting a feel for the cars; Silver 2004 & GM 200. They were fairly horrendous to deal with over the phone anyway. Between them and the J17 pedigree, it's a potential lemon avoided for me. I hadn't seen that one actually and it does look quite tidy (aside from those wheels ) but out of my price range, esp. factoring in the necessary wheel change.
  2. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201610198920671?model=350%20Z&make=NISSAN&postcode=n65tl&onesearchad=Used&onesearchad=Nearly%20New&onesearchad=New&advertising-location=at_cars&radius=1500&sort=price-desc&page=1 Enquired about this one today. Looks lovely but little scope for negotiation and it's a former Junction 17 car so a no-go for me. On the plus side, I'm viewing a 2004, one owner with low mileage this weekend. It's not Night Blue but think I need to expand the search somewhat. Fingers crossed.
  3. Welcome! Nice colour ... Fairly scarce on the ground but I'm hoping to find one eventually.
  4. OP, at the end of the day no one can truly understand what you're going through or how you feel. Whilst off-topic threads certainly spring up and have a place, I would say this is one of the things where you shouldn't turn to (or even open yourself up to) a community of relatively faceless people. It's just too important and could end up making you feel worse, which this does seem like it's in danger of doing. For what it's worth, it certainly sounds like you have been dealt a tough hand but being a bit proactive will go a long, long way. There's been some good solid suggestions already but I think it all needs to start with you having a good chat with a professional. Use that as a base and then when you're in a better space, try to go expand your network & meet some new people. It's already been said many times but you seriously need some legal advice ASAP before you're taken to the cleaners. I work in legal services (data protection, not family law so I'm not much use in this scenario) and I can assure you that it's possible to get some kind of help for every circumstance, no matter what budget (if any) you have ... CAB, universities, even law firms have free walk-in clinics. Do a bit of research but I'm positive you'll find something and at the very least you'll be better informed before you commit to more substantial representation.
  5. This looks great! Pretty much what I want to do when I get one ... Also interested to hear how you find the coilovers in London?
  6. By way of a small update here, there actually appears to be a Night Blue for sale on eBay ATM but it's not quite what I'm looking for so the search goes on ...
  7. Thanks!! Thanks, all. This is good, positive stuff. I think the guy's name is Mark alright. Will definitely give him a shout to discuss a few I have my eye on
  8. Any feedback on these guys? They seem to have a few nice 350's listed on PH & eBay at the moment but I can't find any information about them on here, which seems odd given they have so many. Although they don't have exactly what I'm looking for, I'm thinking about making a trip out there this weekend to view a few. I'd prefer to save myself the journey incase the overwhelming opinion is negative. Keith
  9. If you do ever think of selling it, keep me in mind Somewhat off topic but has anyone heard of or had dealings with EVO Motors based in Wiltshire?
  10. Thanks all. I have a feeling this will be a slow-burner alright but I'll wait it out & see what comes up. I've been trawling the FS section & new members posts on here and it seems like there's only been 3 or 4 in last year 😓
  11. I've edited the post now - I actually meant to type 8.5k. Not a huge difference but it's only a ballpark. For the right example, I would deviate. As an aside, I'm sure I read on here that it was available between 06 & 08? Could've misread though.
  12. Hi All, Here's the deal - I'm currently on the look out for a 350z but I'm specifically looking for one in Night Blue. Being new to the Zed scene, I hadn't actually seen this colour prior to a few weeks ago on here & then I saw one in the flesh this weekend. It made up my mind fairly instantly! Having made a few searches, however, it seems that they don't come up too often but hopefully you'll bear me in mind if you're selling or know of any available Guidelines: - Colour: Night Blue. - UK car. - Low mileage (<50k). - No rust / corrosion. - FSH, preferably from Nissan. - HPI clear & full MOT. - As close to standard as possible. I will accept subtle upgrades though. - Interior: This is an area that I'm particularly picky about. It must be immaculate. In an ideal world, it would be Frost White leather but I think this may be wishful thinking! I'm basically looking for something super clean, that hasn't been thrown about. I don't mind having to do a few minor bits but nothing major please. I'm based in North London but I'll certainly travel for the right car. In terms of price, ideally I want to be around the £8.5k mark. Importantly, I intend to take the plunge no sooner than next month (end of Oct / beginning of Nov). I'm not in a huge rush but I would like to buy before Christmas. I realise I may have to expand the criteria if I'm not having any joy. Thanks for reading & do pass along any tips should you know of anything suitable! Keith
  13. Another vouch for SXOC. It really is a great club. Lots of useful info there. I had an s14a myself for about two years - 00 with low mileage. It's a lot of car for the money & loads of fun. You can certainly still find unabused examples but will probably have to pay a premium!
  14. Newbie here too but welcome That's a lovely 350! I'm on the hunt for a Night Blue one myself.
  15. I should do somewhere. I had an entire project thread over on SXOC but it seems alot of the pic links have broken over time. I'll dig some up! Thanks all. I'm already picking up lots of v. helpful info. For instance, avoid Junction 17! I had spotted a few of their listings online but after what I've read on here, I think I'll just stay clear.
