Hi everyone, I'm soon to be a 350z owner with a 5-6k budget.
I've got my eye on a couple in my area, been to view a few and two stand out:
2006 manual rev up gt, tidy body work, well maintained, wheels need a refurb and exhaust will need replacing within 12 months. 86k on the clock. Asking price £6000.
Or
2005 35th anniversary jdm manual import,
Rev up engine with the 7k rpm, anniversary wheels, mats, badges etc etc. Again, full service history, well maintained, imported at 20km and now on 60km.
Wheels will also need refurb and a small crack in the bumper, but other than that it's very tidy.
Asking price £5000.
Insurance for myself at 29 is coming in at £180 for the 2006 gt and £270 for the import, so no worries there. I'm assuming tax on the import will be the lower tax band being a 2005 model, whereas the gt is in the higher bracket.
Just wanted to know your thoughts on both options. Am I going to regret going for the cheaper jdm down the line? Is there anything I should know going forward or does the import sound like a cracking deal for essentially a very similarly specd car? (the anniversary is japan's equivalent of the gt4 from what I can see online)
Would appreciate any thoughts!
Cheers
