Don't forget there is no extra pence per mile charge if you decide to buy the car. So if you know you are going to keep it then go for a low annual mileage as this will keep the payments down. I also got a quote for 6K per annum and it brought the payments down by about £15 per month.

Nearly but at the end of the 3 years you still owe the £11K so you pay that to keep the car. So the car with the interest will cost you £30K. Or you just give it back and it has cost you £19K over the 3 years. It should be worth more than the £11K so its not advisable to give it back. The 3rd option is to px it. The dealer will probably give you another couple of grand for it so that (the £2K) can go towards your new purchase. A bit confusing but a good way of being able to drive a car you probably wouldn't normally be able to afford.

Hi, I have just got a decent PCP quote from my local dealer in Folkestone Kent. It's for a brand new non-GT with extras. All finance approved, have one more test drive booked on Friday before paying my deposit and joining the ranks of the 'OMG petrol is expensive' brigade PCP as below (10,000mile pa). Total cash price £26,678 Deposit (my car plus £550) £6,750 Amount of Credit £19,928 Total charge for credit £4,444 Monthly Payment 36 x £363.51 Guaranteed Future Value £11,065 Basically at the end of the 3 years you have 3 choices. Give the car back. Pay off the GFV and its yours. PX it. The The figure they give you is guaranteed (as long as you are not over your allowed annual mileage) but it should be worth a bit more. If its worth a bit more you can put the difference towards a new purchase. Hope this helps PS the reason for a second test drive is the Nissan head office is sending down a 'Select' vehicle. A GT model with all the toys, like sat-nav, only 6 months old with 4,000miles on the clock and £2K cheaper than the new non-GT. Should be a no brainer but i still like the idea of being that first owner and knowing the car hasn't been caned for its first 4K miles.

Cant beleive those prices I assume they are for Comprehensive or whatever its called. I went to 2 comparison sites and the best price i got was £467 and that was with full no claims and being an old codger (well, 43 actually). Have got 3 current speeding points though. I think i am going to go with Churchill as they do a good 2 car cover. They quoted £600 for a 350Z and the other halfs Clio. Unless of course anyone knows better

Pistonheads currently have a couple of MY7 GTs around the £25k mark if the silver one is not for you, or at least they give you a reference point about price: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.a ... &nodays=60 Thanks for link, bud. This one has everything, including the colour i want, for a similar price to brand new non-gt http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/450545.htm. Think i'll give them a call in the morning though the name of the company 'Redline Motor Company' doesn't suggest 'one careful owner' has run it in gently

Thanks for all your replys Still undecided but leaning towards a nearly new model with the toys (the bluetooth and r/p sensors would be especially useful). Went and had another look today and managed to get another few hundred quid off a new non-gt. Dealer offered 25,700 for brand new non-gt including metallic. I think thats s good discount based on my research. Unfortunately there were hardly any nearly new ex demo or ex management cars in the system Quick ridiculous question what does the MY mean when people are writing about their Zeds? Thanks again guys. I'll hopefully be posting some pics of my nearly new silver 350z GT in the not too distant future

Hi Guys, First noob post :bye: Having tested the 350Z a few weeks ago i was totally smitten (so was the other half ) and am now looking to make a purchase. The budget (after begging, stealing, borrowing and a bit of finance) wont quite stretch to a new one unless i go for the non-GT spec. My question is (all advice greatly appreciated) do i go for a new non-GT spec model or a fully loaded (sat-nav et al) GT on an 07 or 57 plate? I would obviously prefer the Leather and Bose System but cant see the cruise control getting a lot of use My concern in that these nearly new cars, although very low mileage, have not been looked after properly. They are normally ex-demo or ex-management (?) cars so have probably had a fair bit of stick in their first few thousand miles and not been run in below 4000rpm in the first 1200 miles as recommended. I am sure this is the case as the dealer let me and the other half take the car away for the afternoon. It only had a few hundred miles on the clock and do you think i kept it below 4000rpm All advice greatly appreciated. Apologies for long winded post
