Ozz

I've seen a few zeds out there, no idea on price. I'll probably be buying a big truck, if I go for a sports car then it will likely involve jumping on the mustang bandwagon

I'm heading out to Toronto most likely, I work for a Canadian/Brazilian firm and my russian/canadian wife's family are in Toronto, just working through visa process now. Still undecided on car, he still hasn't serviced it and my car is running perfectly so I'm not sure - plus I hear what people are saying about mine will be easier to sell when I relocate. Such a shame, she's a nice motor and seems to be running well even with lack of care. I really do miss the zeds though, what I really want is another hi-rev but can't justify spend. I should never have part'ex'd mine for the 370z, I took a huge hit.

+1 I'd maybe even go in Mike Brewer stylee with an offer of £4200 If he does decide to sell it privately (not to you), then he might struggle once he mentions it hasn't been serviced in 3 years! I bet he's run it on 95RON fuel too Correct..on servicing...he said problems more likely to occur when you're doing stuff on the car so why do it, and its been running fine. Shrug! On petrol...well it runs perfectly fine on 95RON. I know. I tried. Really. I am very tempted to rescue her, I loved that car. He's not a petrol head, loves the car but not the maintenance and doesn't take telling.

I've been a member for years since owning an 05 JDM 350z. Loved the car, sold to my bro who still has it. Since then I moved to 330BMW, then 350z hi-rev bulge model, then almost new 370z and currently a 58 civic type R. I'm really missing RWD and talking to my bro he's toying with the idea of getting rid of his (my old car). we could probably swap with a few k my way so I'm very tempted. Its an 05 JDM in sunset with 60kmileage. When I sold him the car it was fully serviced (since UK anyway) and I gave him a spreadsheet with pictures and figures for all work/mods. Since then he hasn't even serviced it (about 3 years) but car just flew through MOT. I love the car and still miss it. the hi-rev I owned was a massive improvement but I can't spend on a new car as I'm relocating to Canada hopefully around 9 months time (visa). I kind of like the idea of rescuing this from him. He's valuing it at 5k, seems reasonable, mine is worth prob 7k+ (its mint, low mileage, in stunning red) so looking for 2k my way. Anyway, just wanted to say hi and will be surfing the forum again for a while Feel free to say if I'm crazy considering this, the CTR is a stunning car, especially the interior, but I really miss the large engine grunt and RWD feel.

Its my advert, sold the car ages ago just never got round to shifting these. Bought from another member on here, condition is used, fins are fine but metalwork could be improved. Sounds amazing on the hi-rev. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nissan-350z-Hi-Rev-Dual-Induction-kit-/261136784726?ssPageName=ADME:L:LCA:GB:1123 I *think* its complete, I can't see anything else that would be needed to fit. I've not monitored prices for these for a while, I paid £200, I'll let the auction run as is and they go for what they go for

An amazing start to the season. I must admit I'm a Plato fan though he does get annoying, always moaning about something. He's also super aggresive on track - I'd have thought he'd have taken it a little easier, wouldn't be good for the team budget if he'd have smashed the car up first outing. But results talk and you can't argue with what he's done. I love the replay of the 2011 series race where Neal took his colleague out on the last corner of the race, I remember shouting at the TV that day, amazing spectacle. I find this soooo much more entertaining than F1 and I'm hoping I can view this online from Toronto as I was planning on really following it this year. I love how they've simplified the field as well, all turbo'd cars. I think this will be a very interesting season.

Sounds very similar to my old car but don't think it is. My car went to a dealer in Weston and didn't have a private plate. My car was very straight, zero issues. My 370z has been sold as well as I'm in negotiations for a new job in Toronto.

Don't forget impact to your pension by moving.

Its extremely expensive to get rid of people and difficult at the best of times, can't imagine how much harder it would be with the union control - walkouts leading to backlogs etc. Was it last year or year before they were striking over increased automation. Difficult to progress and modernise with that kind of resistance. Does seem expensive though I can't remember the last time I had to pay for a stamp - Banks for instance nearly always provide postage paid envelopes.

What do people think of the UK banks at their current level? Ive just had my bonus so looking to pump a few K into more shares, I'm into LLOY, RBS, HSBC, BARC - the barc is 60% up but I think I may increase positions on all of them. Thomas Cook is an interesting one, I bought during their cash flow issues christmas as I they seem to be pretty solid and I think would rise with the spring holiday buying. They were at 66% up last week, now 48% and I'm considering buying more. Finally, other interesting ones I'm into -Aviva, currently 24% up, bought into these as they seem to pay amongst the highest dividend rates over the last few years so figured good long term. Also...Tesco was another purchase for long term, they are moving into american sector more (tho I guess they may set up a new division if it works out), they've dipped 20% on average price so could be good long term. I'm also into some of the ones mentioned on this thread Its not all positive, I have a non-ISA portfolio thats more speculative, oil, gas, exploration and I'm down 59% overall but at least all my increases are in the ISA I'd like one more company to look at though, med-high risk if anyone has ideas?

My body is a temple so perhaps I could sell that? And when I say temple I mean its old, falling apart and rarely visited. I did look at exporting cars to australia once after my boss relocated out there. cars are massively more expensive, but the more we looked into it the more red tape we came across, plus tax issues. To someone with import/export experience it may be worth investigation (free idea, I've passed on this one). As a guide, my 330 coupe at the time was worth 8-9kGBP, in Oz it was coming up at 15-20k. Certain cars fetch a real premium, I think there was a huge margin on elise for instance.

**Shock Update** Selling the car. I totally adore her, she is completely unmarked, I love the power, ride, the satnav is brilliant. She is without a doubt the best car I've ever owned. Due to some pretty major life stuff I've requested transfer to Toronto, and as soon as possible. I can't take the car with me so may as well sell whilst mileage is silly low and not stress about letting her go when my transfer goes through. I'll do a thread, PH, ebay at some point but if anyone is after a MINT 370 with less than 2k miles holler, you might get lucky. Pricewise, I think I paid £24k (I'll check) and I'll expect to get within £500 of this given condition of car and I don't actually need to rush right now. Im both gutted to sell and happy because of new start.

Lovely colour, I too am a 3 zed man and totally in love with my 370z. I had to put normal petrol in her first, was all they had so took it very easy. Now its washed through and the mileage is creeping up to 900miles I'm opening her up - my god she feels much faster than even my hirev and the gearing is a big improvement. The MPG though - just don't put it on the screen or on the computer, ignorance is bliss. I'm moving house soon hopefully, closer to work, and seriously I'm considering the type of roads between house/work so its better for the car (warm up, fast bit ) now that is zed appreciation. It is however insanely impractical - I have dogs which I can't transport now, I'm paranoid about going anyway becuase she is immaculate. I think I may buy a 4x4 for dirty stuff, wrangler maybe. Btw - the wheels really do grow on you, liking mine more and more.

He said he'd try 11k and go from there. She was an awesome car and I thought I'd miss her a lot but this new one is a different class and I love it. I still think the 350z is an awesome motor, and would happily of kept my old one but its rare I keep something more than a year and this was too good to turn down. I've already doubled the mileage on her. Pics to follow, bad ones at the moment off my phone, just need to store them somewhere. I regret rushing to partx mine as I should have pushed my bro more to have her at 9k and partx'd his 350z jdm (my other old one lol) instead. I should have offered mine at 9k on here too but hey, i have no patience.

Didn't stay with us long mate? What are you going for next? Terrible time to sell, which is why I took a hit and part x'ed mine. However, I'd have thought you'd shift it at that price as she looks stunning. I've never had any genuine enquiries off PH, I get best response through ebay or autotrader. I think its £15 to run a classified ad on ebay, I think you can convert it to an auction, or relist for free so might be worth a try. If you try autotrader, get yourself a quidco account, IIRC I got 25% off the advert price, if not more. Actually I don't recall getting many enquiries through autotrader either, ebay ftw!

Picked the car up on Friday. I had mine cleaned ready for partx on thursday and had major second thoughts as she looked so good and I knew the dealer would put her up for 11k (which he said he would). But those doubts disappeared when I saw my new car up close (and my first 370z up close). Stunning. There were angles that the old zed looked kinda ugly from (but mostly awesome) and they really do seem to have taken the very best of the 350 and added to it. The lines are perfect, the wheels which I didn't like I actually don't mind, the interior is a huge improvement (though the speedo is rated far too high, makes low speed driving difficult), the sat nav is brililant and must have, the sound quality is very good, the ride and performance is excellent. She feels a little heavy on handling, I think its because she's so wide and I need time to get to know her but she doesn't put a food wrong - as she shouldn't with 275 rear tyres! I should have checked those out first. Oh...and the 20mpg average...ouch. But worth every penny. My previous zed was probably my favourite car I ever owned, over my older JDM 350z, but this new one...really does feel special. So I love her. The dealer got the mileage wrong, it was only 550 miles and she really is immaculate - I could not distuingish her from a brand new car and god only knows why the previous owner never used her. She is totally unmarked and I am soooo paranoid about driving her I've always been lucky enough to have relatively nice sports cars but I've never got the amount of looks I get in this. I bought her for me, not other people but I have to admit its nice if a little embarrasing. Some serious car park envy going on in work as well So I'll post up pics soon, but for anyone thinking of upgrading from the 350, do it, its a very different car but retaining the 'feel' of the zed badge. Awesome.

Deposit paid so just a question of both cars being as described (i'm pretty happy with mine ) Picking her up Friday. Still not sure I should be parting with mine as its probably the best car I've owned so far but its been a year and this new zed seems like a good upgrade. I may be relocating next year somewhere so probably cars will cease to be a priority for me so may as well enjoy this one for 2012. Nissan High performance rang me earlier to offer the same spec zed (2010, grey GT, sat nav) but with 6k miles for 21999. Seems like good price if anyone is looking - my second choice if mine falls through.

I'm from crosshands if you know where that is. It's at the start of the M4 basically. Welcome, I'm currently living near Trimsaran (llanelli), about to move to swansea. Shame you got a zed (well not really) as my 57plate is going in partx this week at 9k so would have been a bargain.

I bought 2 rear tyres for my zed before xmas from mytyres - great price, 230 delivered. My local garage fitted them for a fiver each. I have to say the grip since they've gone on has been incredible, I've used them before so I was expecting good things on the zed and they didn't disappoint.

Thanks guys, this is the car: linky He wouldn't budge on price, just dropped it apparantly. May not be the best deal but short of buying new I won't get lower mileage and I get hung up on low mileage (I know its not everything).

I know. Porsche only offered me 9 against a 28k cayman. But in todays market, 57plte hi-rev, 2 owners, 39k, white interior, new MOT - maybe 11k max, 10 for this time of year. So 9k for no hassle...

its with a nissan franchise, they seem genuine so I'll trust them its as described. I really hope the panels match, heard so many horror stories about the paint. I always fancied a supra in gunmetal and the colour looks close so I should like it. Would have loved white though, stunning. And the alloys...jeez they'll need to go at some point. I love my current zed so can't see me being disappointed. I was set on the cayman, just a stunning looking car but the price was creeping closer to 30k than I would like and I just couldnt make the jump. I'd love the gen 2, and they are hovering around 32-35k so maybe one for next year. Sad to see my zed go, awesome troublefree car, owned 1 year in Jan. Would have made a great car for someone but I can't be bothered with hassle of private sale.

Thanks guys, I'm thinking it should be pretty much new. Hmm..what first I wonder, well my hirev roars with its twin JWT intakes so I guess that! Will research mods for 370, my third zed but my first 370. Not even seen one up close yet! That reminds me, I should take the chargers off and sell seperate.

OMGOMGOMG Sorry. Little excited. I was geared up to change my 57plate zed for a 2008 cayman but got a little nervous on the deal. However, just came across a 1 year old 370z in Grey (60 plate), GT Pack with sat nav for 23k. The best bit - 685 miles!! The car is a long way from me so I'll be buying unseen with option to walk away. Called the garage, agreed 9k for my car (book price prob 11k so could be worse) so agreed in principle to buy. Calling them back next week with a few questions and to arrange transfer of funds before collection. So, my head is fried as I wasn't really expecting to buy today. What questions do I need to ask before taking ownership, the low mileage should mean everything pretty much as new. Q's: two keys? bodywork condition Tire level Really I can't think of anything else. She has the syncro rev thing which is a must. Anything I need to be aware of with such low mileage? Finally - I really wanted a white one so if any dealers on here have one and can beat this price let me know!
