Pagnobito Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Hi, I was pottering around the local car showrooms, actually looking for a replacement car for the missus, and spotted a low mileage ex Nissan 350Z GT coupe in sunset red. I wasn't really looking to change out of my Lexus just yet, but I have always had an eye for the Zed and in this colour I think it looks stunning, including the tangerine seats! I took it out for a test drive and that was it, sold. Road tax was a shock but at least for this year that and the superguard are in the price. It is like a new car with only 3600 miles on it. I have come from a Leon Cupra R, then the Lexus IS (new shape) and my other car is a Porsche 928 S4 (5L V8 in case you wondered). I still have to find a motor for the missus Roll on next Friday when I pick it up. Quote
sunset350z Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 Don`t you mean "sunset orange" or is it chilli red? either way great choice of car and colour "ENJOY" Quote
Pagnobito Posted June 12, 2008 Author Posted June 12, 2008 Well, I thought it was orange, or some sort of bronze, but I was just going by what the website said, and I thought the dealer would be right, but I stand to be corrected. It is a stand out colour and I really like it. Quote
martinmac Posted June 12, 2008 Posted June 12, 2008 colour is a personal thing but zeds are all great so enjoy Quote

bronzee Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 It is like a new car with only 3600 miles on it. Welcome to the forum. Nice find there. What year is it, to have such low mileage?? I still have to find a motor for the missus You could weaken and let the wifey borrow the Zeddy on the odd occasion. Quote
CaptainSensible Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 I have come from a Leon Cupra R, then the Lexus IS (new shape) and my other car is a Porsche 928 S4 (5L V8 in case you wondered). I currently drive a Cupra R and plan to chop in for a Z very soon (just waiting for my bonus to hit my bank account ). As much fun as a turbo is I need some N/A power in my life! Quote
Digsy Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Hi and welcome aboard! We need pics of the Zed and the 928! BTW Dealers are seldom right. Quote
Pagnobito Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 I can't post any pics of the Zed just yet as I have to wait till next Friday. It is a very little used 56 plate with the orange seat leather upgrade and reversing sensors. I think the rest is standard GT. Here are some pics of the 928 Quote

Here are some pics of the 928 Love the car but is that another of those strange effects or has someone thrown bleach over it? Quote
H5 Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Given the car seems to be glowing in the first pic it is either image electricwizadry or something nuclear poured over it! Quote
Zummertor Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Welcome, Brilliant way to buy a car for yourself I just can't begin to wonder deal you struck at home with that style of buying. 928 looks tidy assume not bleach on it though. Quote
Pagnobito Posted June 13, 2008 Author Posted June 13, 2008 Its called HDR, where you take several shots at different exposures and then use some fancy software to combine them. This is what it looks like without all that fancy processing stuff; It is actually Forest Green, which is a dark metallic green colour. Quote

Pagnobito Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 I didn't get round to taking some pics when I got the car a few weeks ago, and now it has come back from the body shop I thought I would get some done. Enjoy 4.18 Boggo Standard as you can see Mmm Z Empty car park My daughter says they look like gun barrels Gettin down low I love the detail and the LED markers A fun shot to finish Quote
drewbie Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Fab colour - here's to another rusty ! Love the orange LED's in the headlights - if any member knows how to get those put in can they send me a PM pleeeeeeeease. Welcome to the club and look forward to seeing it in the flesh at a meet. Quote
Pagnobito Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 It is pretty much spotless, there is a slight scuff on the rear N/S wheel and a little scrape on the underside of the front bumper, but it has only done 4300 miles now so I would expect it to be in pertty good condition! I thought all the lights had the orange LEDs in them, or is it just something that was done on the late 2006 model? I usually do a lot of research before buying a car, but this one (if you read my first post) was more of an impulse so I am not sure what it is supposed to have as standard, and I am not even sure what the official name of the paint is! Thanks for the comments Btw all the pictures were taken on Canon digital Ixus70 on a tripod and in the case of the first pic on a step ladder that I found in the car park! Quote
martinmac Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Fully understand bud, they pretty much sell themselves. Lots of nice Sunsets around on here Feel free to pop up and say Hi at Thurrock services at the weekend. Quote
P15UL T Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 hi there, very nice pictures welcome to the forum Paul Quote
