Thanks for the advice-much appreciated.

Thanks for the good advice. The seller of that expensive one has already offered to come down in price but like you say, the 3 year service gap is a concern. Its routine for me to annually service my cars but I’ve yet to find a 350Z advertised that’s got anywhere near an annual service so far. My long term owned runabout Leon from 2005 has had 19 services! I’ll have to be patient and keep looking. You’re right about not many selling as I keep seeing the same cars every time I check what’s out there.

That’s a great help-thanks. I’m think I’m going to check out the expensive 8 owner one which is very close to me -as you say this will give me a starting point. May then go and see one that is £3k less and compare. I notice the cheaper one has some carbon on centre console and inner door around switches -assuming because those plastics seem to wear quite badly from some pics I’ve seen of other cars. Also has spacers and slightly lowered plus an aftermarket twin fan fitted. Looks a nice car though for £5900 and it’s been owned for 12 years. Can you get a clue underneath as to condition under skirts or do they have to come off? Thanks again

Hi everyone. I’ve got my heart set on a 350z roadster and preferably want one no later than a 55 plate for the cheaper tax! I’m no mechanic and am aware I’m looking at getting an at least 19 year old car, but want to get the best I can. I’m not very sure on what price I should be paying. I’ve seen a couple of 2005 silver ones on Pistonheads with one at £11495 with 8 owners and one from a ‘350 Z member’ with 3 owners just reduced to £5900. I will search the forum for buying advice as I’m sure you’ve covered this topic many times but would be grateful for some idea of what is a reasonable price for a good one. I’d also be really grateful for advice on service history. I know most advertised say full service history but I’ve yet to find one that’s actually had an annual service which is what I think these cars should have? As an example is a 3 year gap ok if the car has only done a few thousand miles over that period? Sorry I’ve asked a few things here. I hope that’s ok. Thanks Tim
