focusst

The problem is there doesn't seem to be that many at all (at least not up North) Theres so many dodgy V-cars and grey imports its a bit of a minefield. Nissan dealers seem to be asking daft prices for the Z so its pretty tempting to have a look down these alternative avenues. What's your budget, mate? In an ideal world I'd want a straight swap for my Focus ST. So probably £14.5k

Oh well. Never mind. It was sold before I got there. Thanks for the help anyway though

I'm going to check this car out tomorrow. I'm obviously going to check out all the service history (ring a few of the dealers, etc). Anything else in particular to look out for on a car with 75k on the clock? I'll be gutted if I end up buying a bag of sh*te Cheers all

Thanks Dan. Its a 2004 (04 plate) silver UK car but is not a GT Spec Cheers Dave

Yeah its definately a UK car. I'm gonna go and check it out on Sunday. Thanks for the advice guys

Yup. Thats what I figured. Theres nothing to compare it with on Autotrader as most cars don't seem to have done anywhere near that mileage

Would it be a risk to buy a UK 350z with 75k on the clock? Car is on Autotrader for £13399 and apparently has full dealer service history. The price needs knocking down but any ideas how well this car would be running after 75k I've never had a jap car before, I know they're reliable, etc and I'm sure the engines good for 200k but would I be taking a risk? Again, any help much appreciated Thanks

Just got a couple of quotes for a potential Z. Basically the car's an import although its registered with DVLA as a 350z apparently. Quote A was for a Fairlady import and was £1100!!!!! Quote B was for a 350z and was £558 Both quotes from the same company (Privilage in this case). Do I insure the car as a Fairlady or as a 350z? £1100 is absolutely ridiculous. If thats how high the insurance is going to be I'm pretty sure I won't be getting to join the club afterall.Its twice what my ST costs and that a group 16 (I know the z is 18 but still!!) Once again, any help /comments would be really appreciated

To be honest I dont like leather seats. Had them in an ST220 once and couldn't get used to it at all. Is the cloth trim not good then?

Sorry. Think thats me being a newb :blush: Waiting for the guy to confirm the spec level now.

I think it is, yeah Where is that car? Is it far from you? I'd get yourself down there for a peek! Its 140 miles away but that wouldn't bother me Really got my heart set on a Z now

And thanks for everyones help by the way. Seriously appreciate it :teeth:

Its a Fairlady ST spec I believe. Is that the equivilent to the GT spec then?

I'm not having much luck with my search for a 350z at the moment. I dont suppose anyones heard of Maundrell Co Ltd? They've got a good looking car on Autotrader (looks like its an import) for £13950 Hope I'm not being too cheeky asking for help but I really dont wanna get ripped off Cheers

To be honest I can live with big hairy spiders. Its idiots who go around kicking panels in on your car I can't stand Just had £3.5k worth of damage repaired on my ST. Hence I'm selling it while its in showroom condition

Thanks for the welcome everyone. I did think about the Jap import option but was a bit worried about how much I'd lose when I came to sell it after a year. I'm going to Australia for good. Or at least thats the plan

Thanks for the offer. I'm really trying to stay under a limit of about £16k to be honest though. I'm off to Australia within a year so I need to keep the residual loss down to a minimum

Thanks for that. Here's the current motor. Errm....its Orange. Really Orange

Sorry, yu've lost me already . Who's Rick?

Hi, I've been reading your forum for a few days now after making my mind up to go for a 350z. Great site, one of the only good UK sources for info about this awesome car. I'm currently driving an Electric Orange Focus ST-2 and I'm looking around for a good deal on a UK 350z. The ST is worth around £16.5k at the moment so hopefully I should be able to pick something reasonable up for about that price. Any pointers/reliable dealers/etc would be really appreciated. This is going to be my first non-Ford car for a very long time so I'm kind of flying blind here. Anyway, hello all and I look forward to joining the club soon Cheers Dave
