M5Sime Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi there, I have recently joined the forum to get some more insight into the wonders of 350z.. I am in the market for one and wondering when the 370Z lands (July??) and also whether many people have deposits they will replace 350Z's with?? I get the impression that many more of us on the 350Z side are enthusiastic buyers of 2nd and 3rd hand, rather than the profile of people that would buy 370Z's new?? Of course always some exceptions.. Cheers Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree - I think a low % of members have owned since new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 There are quite a few that have owned since new but the majority have bought used. I wouldn't buy a new car personally as I couldn't bear to take the loss from new! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Simon. I have bought new for the last 10 years and that includes my Zed. I won't, however, be buying my next car new though after the depreciation this one has suffered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M5Sime Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Hi All What a fab collection of Welcome's! I did not know whether to post a hello in the new bod area of the forum. Anyway - Quick facts - 35, ex M5 owner (E39 and E34), doing 500 miles a week currently in a Diesel and wanting to get back to a fruity sounding Petrol car. Hoping for 27 or so MPG on motorway runs (90%). Based near Reading and already sent a couple of PMs to guys I spotted with Reading locality. Decided on a 2006MY or even 2007MY if the price is right. Mild mods (air filter and exhaust) and perhaps some ICE depending on satnav/BOSE. I heard the Nissan satnav does not accept postcodes? I am not really into the car-park meeting scene (as I do think these cars and owners can be mis-read as chav's). It is clear to me that this is not the case from following quite a few threads.. In-fact more akin to the TVR guys I used to be involved with some time ago. I believe there is a Majdeski Reading meet now and then? So hello to all and thanks again for the warm welcome.

I believe there is a Majdeski Reading meet now and then? There is indeed a Jap meet tomorrow outside Comet. We get there about 7-7:30pm and stay until about 8:30-9pm. Then off to the pub or home. Come along and say hi, we dont bite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Yes Simon, the Birdview doesnt take postcodes and is expensive. There are a lot of very good cheaper options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M5Sime Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 Regards and good luck hunting Graham C Thanks and what a superb pair of cars... I know another chap that went from a Griff to a 350z and has been pleasantly surprised (mainly by all the bits that work). Personally, I love the Griff burble over the AJP V8s.
