I've just measured the width of the car and chalked it out on the garage floor but believe the mirrors sit within the width of the body when folded in.
Don't really like convertibles unfortunately!
Looks like the z dream is dead until I move places!
Thank you everyone.
Currently have garage wall lined and I know the measurements of the car so it will get in. The car is 71.5 inches wide but my garage is around 85 inches wide on the inside so does that leave enough room to get out? I am slim haha.
Ideally want a wide body kit one which will get through the entrance just about but assume that won't make a difference to getting out as the extra width is all on the arches I think
Hi,
I really want a 350z but where I live it has to be in a garage. It will get in but unsure if I can get out!
Could anyone be so kind and measure the inside of their garage so I can compare?
I'm in L36 area if anyone lives local
Cheers
Hi,
I'm looking at getting a fresh Jap Import to try ensure it will be rust free. It's likely to be 2003 to 2005.
Are the rusting doors / arches / sills a common problem?
Cheers
Thanks Graham.
Thats great they are pretty close to me, will definitely call him.
If you don't mind telling me, how much did you pay and what grade was it? Did they sort everything out and you just collected from them?
Cheers
Good point!
Maybe it was just imports registered between 06 and 07 that were a problem as the tax shot up to over £550 that year (according to parkers anyway)
Thanks Steve
Happy with that but read that DVLA seem to go on date of registration in the UK rather than manufacture and apply higher tax bracket if car was imported after 2006. Heard some scary figures of 400 or 500 mentioned!
Looking at getting fresh import ideally
Hi,
Can anyone confirm what the road tax will be a pre 2006 Jdm import will be?
It has been imported this year.
Apologies if already covered but could only find very old threads
Cheers
Thank you both for your replies.
The lower spec doesn't concern me, it's more the bodywork condition.
LRF4N if you don't mind could tell me;
Did you import it yourself or via a dealer? If so which site/dealer?
How much did you pay in total?
What grade / mileage was it?
I can buy from dealers who will export while I'm there but don't think I'm allowed in the auctions and think I'll get better value from them but would be nice to choose it in person!
Cheers
Hi,
I am after a 350z Coupe and my experience with fresh imports on my current vehicle (Euros Roadster) is the condition is generally much much better with minimal or nil rust issues. Do UK 350z's suffer from rust problems (looking at 2003 to 2005 with 50/60k?
Obviously any other issues for the above year/mileage would be appreciated. Not sure if will get manual or auto as yet.
I may buy it online and import myself or go car shopping whilst in Japan later this year.
Thank you and apologies if this has been covered.
