bazza1702 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi Guys, Just joined up, this looks like a very helpful and informative site. Im looking to buy a 350Z for my wife, after a lot of helpful hints from myself, she has finally decided against a TT I have to admit though, I know nothing about the 350Z, and obviously dont want to be ripped off..... Im going to look at this car tomorrow, and it looks good from the pictures I have seen so far. The one thing that is bugging me is that the car is showing 22,000miles but there is no service history to back this up. Is that common for imports...? http://search.autotrader.co.uk/es-uk/ww ... _full.y=13 Also, how can you tell which model it is..? I have asked the garage, but they aint sure of the exact model as they dont have the log book as yet. All they can tell me is that it is a 3.5 v6. Sorry for the essay guys...... Barry.

Jay Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hey mate welcome to the club! What part of Scotland you from? As for the service history that is pretty bad. I have an import as well and i got the the documentation with it. Am not sure what type that is mate i will leave it to one of the other crew to tell you But i reckon u could haggle about more on the price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ab350z Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 +1 on what Jay said, my import has had 2 UK owners but came with a shed load of Japanese documentation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza1702 Posted March 16, 2009 Author Share Posted March 16, 2009 Cheers Jay, thats my thinking on it too, I was planning on using the no service history as a haggling tool. I just didnt know if that would be a bad thing or not. The car would only be doing circa 7000 miles a year, so its not going to be used as a high mileage car, although it will be used everyday. Oh, and im from Dundee.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I noticed that it mentions front fog lights in the description, and also in the one for the 06 one they are selling. Am I right in thinking that Zeds don't have front fogs or am I just really stupid and can't find them on mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Welcome to the club You might struggle to find a used 350Z in Scotland at the moment. I think they've all been bought by guys in Aberdeen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTHEARTS Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 Hi mate. Another Scot joining the club. Good work! I got mine fron a dealer in newcastle. It's jap import too.

But decided too get the one im driving now. PM me if you want a link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazza1702 Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Well, we ended up going to look at the car early, and the missus instantly fell in love, so we will be the proud owners of a 350z in the next couple of weeks once the garage sorts over private plates Does anyone know any decent breakers/parts stores where I can get a cover for the small hatch behind the drivers seat (is it called a parcel box?) as it looks like a cd changer has been in there from the previous owner. Pthearts, thanks for the offer mate, it looks as though the car we bought has originally came through Mackay trading down your way. Thanks again for the welcome guys...

Lexx Posted March 17, 2009 Share Posted March 17, 2009 Thats where the Jap SatNav CD Drive was probably located. (assuming it had SatNav and that its been removed) Dont if you'll find anythign to cover that. Not sure what UK cars have there if they dont have a SatNav drive fitted.

Your best bet will be to PM either ZMANALEX or R35LEE, they are a great source for second hand spares. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
