sorry for the late reply, work is in the way at the moment.
anyway.. I'm down to the last few, which include
350z
Sti Impreza
EVO
Tuscan 6 speed
exige
I've had an Impreza in the past, and recently sold my 360 bhp EVO, I'm slightly worried about the reliability of the TVR & lotus, so that just leaves the 350z
I'm looking at spending about 18k at the moment, but that could rise depending on contracts, if it rises enough, then add to the selection a noble M12
hopefully, with cash I'm hopeing to get a decent deal, but with winter looming, do I really want to spend all that hard earned on a nice car ,when I can use my works van for free
bit of a dilemma really. I'm going to speak to JCImports this week and go have a look at what he's got as he dosnt seem to update his site very regularly.
The other thing was insurance. I got quoted just under £600 for a UK zed, but about £1k for a jap one ..
cheers

thanks guys, really appreciate the speedy input.
I'm in no rush for a new car at the moment, but after selling the EVO I'm getting a bit impatient of getting behind the wheel of something special again
I'm gonna keep a close eye on the boards as I've got my choice down to the last few, the 350z being one of them
any more info is thankfully recieved
thanks again

I had a similar problem with my old EVO, I eventually tracked it down to a dirty fuel filter and possibly a bad batch of fuel.. changed the filter refilled the tank and all was well again
hope you get it sorted

Thanks for the comments so far. I wasnt sure about the stitching either, but to be honest I dont mind it.
Not sure which model it is, but definately not the GT , think I'll give the guy a ring and go take a look.
Mathys, what sort of problems do you think I could encounter with a car over 3 years old ? I appreciate all the usual wear & tear items, but surely previous owners would have had warranty work done, afer all, its free.
really appreciate all the input guys,
thanks again

I've been looking for a while for a 350z and although I'm in no hurry to get one, I've found THIS
I dont know much about these cars but it seems a decent example at a good price.
can I have your opinions/feedback please wether you think this is a good buy or not
Many thanks
Phil
Your opinions needed

yeah, would be nice to have a tuscan as a weekend toy, but I'm afraid what I buy will definately get used everyday.
I've just found a Jap 03 burnt orange GT thats loaded with everything apart from the buttons on the steering wheel, even has UK sat nav fitted
36000 miles , he wants £16000
