R800NER Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Ever since I test drove a zed (276bhp) in October, I have been convinced to spend my hard earned cash on one for my 21st birthday in May. However, I am after a red one with GT pack....which seems to be impossible to find!!! I am wondering whether to just settle for a blue? Or would I be likely to find a ~2006 350Z GT for less than £15,000 by May the 20th? I have already bought most of the toys for it (Official NISMO parts): I turn 21 on the 20th of May and cannot wait to get out of this car (Golf)...insurance has given me the thumbs up! So... do I hold out and pray for a red one even if it isn't a facelift (has to have the GT pack though)? or do I just get an Azure and nismo it up??

P15UL T Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 thats what i like to see, the mods before the car its a pain in the ar5e when the car you want isnt there when you have the money red definetly seems to be the rarest....apart from green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Azure is the better colour anyway.....but then again I would say that! May is still a while away and it's a buyers market so I would hold off for a while, keep your eyes peeled on here, Pistonheads and Autotrader etc and see what happens.

martinmac Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Nice bit of planning there. Its a very difficult call, if you buy a blue one you know a red one will come up for sale the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R800NER Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Yeh, it's tough guys.... I am addicted to autotrader and pistonheads and the forums.... .I check about 4 times a day I want it to look like this: I have bought all the NISMO bits... which I thought would be the hard bit locating official bits.
