km002916 Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 My old man has just joined the Nissan frey but has well and truly trumped my recently aquired 350Z by getting a R35 GTR premium. Went out with him on Tuesday to see an 58 plate import black edition with 8k miles and as soon as he drove it he was smitten (and no wonder the way it went) but thought it was a bit steap. Went onto autotrader later that day and found a 09 plate UK premium edition with just 3k miles for nearly £5k less so went to see it that nite and put down the deposit there and then. Im taking him to get it tomorrow morning. Im just hoping he finds it in his heart (and bank account) to put me on the insurance once in a blue moon. If anyones interested hes trying to shift his old car, a black monaro VXR for £13k, if so please drop me a wee PM as I dont want to turn this into a 'for sale' thread.
