That HKS is sweet!

If the oil has been religiously checked and the service history stuck to, then it is a bargain. If not, it could be a very expensive mistake. It's all a bit Russian roulette with Rexs.

Keep a look out for an FI'd Mk1 MX5. Great cars and would drift very well..... http://www.mx5nutz.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41074

And there lies the issue. The V5 is always the bit that lags behind when you do this. I still agree with Sarnie though, the sooner you get it done the sooner the V5 is in your sticky mits.

I love a mature debate!

Except for the fact that we live in the real world where a nearly new 350Z costs far less than a new or nearly new 370Z, making it a completely fair point to make. I don't remember the OP stipulating that peoples responses could only be based on a notional universe where the two cars cost the same.

No jealousy here mate. I've done the 350 thing twice and looked at the 370, TT and Z4 in the summer with a view to leasing. I never got round to driving the 370 and can only go on what I have read in the likes of EVO etc. but I can certainly confirm that the Nissan is still way behind the Germans in terms of style and perceived quality of materials on the inside. Styling will always be subjective. My current car costs twice the price of a 370Z (not bragging but the issue of jealousy has been raised) and I haven't owned a 350Z for 12 months now so I think I am suitably impartial and not looking all green-eyed at those "lucky" 370Z owners.

+1 You can get an 08 zed for around £18k. There's no way that a 370z is worth the extra £12k in my eyes. I actually think the interior looks pretty rubbish, I hate the fish gill air vents either side of the sat nav screen..... The centre console looks like it should be in an SUV or luxo-barge rather than a sports car IMHO.

Interested to see how this one pans out.

350Z over the 370Z anyday. If I had the spare cash I'd have a late MY07 and keep the change over the 370. With the exception of the blipper thingy the 370 just doesn't seem to move the game on. According to the reviews I care about the handling is less playful and the engine a backward step compared to the last 350 lump. Add to that an interior that is better than a 350 but nowhere near good enough to trouble a TT or Z4 and styling which in my eyes is "challenging" to say the least and there's no contest for me.

+1 That's where I always kept mine.

GLWTS mate.

I seem to remember this place went very quiet when you tied the knot, but I see Mrs Sarnie unties you from tiime to time now so you can pop in here and say hello Your memory fails you old man I was posting on here 25 mins after tieing the knot in vegas That's not really something to shout about. Trust me, 25 mins after my wedding this place will be the furthest thing from my mind!

It certainly looks nice. I tend to take soundclips with a pinch of salt as it depends on what you record and then play on.

Engines were the same from launch in the UK until the facelift model in 2006, unless it is the GT4 special edition which got the more powerful engine from the facelift car almost a year earlier.

I decided asking you lot on here is far more productive than speaking to the google I meant searching this site not Google. Surprisingly enough you're not the first person to ask this question in the last 4 years!

Muchos congrats, Rob!

Have you tried searching?

Looks great! Now you need some bigger wheels...

Nope, me too. I can't get to grips with the Infinity styling - they have all clearly been styled for the Americans.

Maybe most owners didnt tick the "watertight" option at the Lancia dealer

Yup, nothing wrong with the aesthetics, just the implementation. It was meant the good way, Husky.

No, they all had one.

Now I don't think that's strictly true, is it?
