Django Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Hello all, I test drove a Z for the first time the other day and I am definitely hooked. I can't think of any other car with as good a balance of looks, performance and cost. I decided not to buy the particular model (a 2002 JDM) as there were a couple of things that seemed a bit wrong but I'm pretty sure the 350Z is the way to go for me. The only problem is I live and Scotland and can't see many for sale (think I want a GT car for about 10-11k). Are there many Scottish members on the forum? Quote
Ian Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 I think there are more Scottish on here than anything else Quote

Django Posted January 12, 2010 Author Posted January 12, 2010 Cheers everyone, yeah I suppose I should take my time. I was so close to handing over the cash for that first one I seen. Was only saved by the infromation I got on here the past few days about specs and stuff. I'm from East Kilbride. Quote

Cragus Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Called you were West of Scotland from the troops comment before opening the thread! I am from bellshill area mate so 15 minutes from you! Good luck with the search so good luck with the search or feel free to give us a pm if you want help or a look at a car! Quote
Django Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Haha nice one Cragus, I did ask myself just how common that phrase was just before I posted. Haha and I've just realised that's why coops asked if I was in the forces! Hahaha. Excellent mate that will be handy then if I need some support. Do you ever check out the scene at strathy park? Haven't been down there in years. 15 mins away in Bellshill? Surely that's more like under ten in a zed Quote
Carbon Coops Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 I am in the forces and troops is often used Coops Quote
jacr87 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Welcome to the Forum mate. Just did a quick search for you may this will give you an estimate on how much to spend and a rough price they cost. Hope these help! http://www.arnoldclark.com/used-cars/nissan/350z/ http://www.s1cars.com/Nissan-350Z-cars- ... n-Scotland http://www.roadrecord.co.uk/buying-used ... y-distance Quote
Django Posted January 13, 2010 Author Posted January 13, 2010 Yeah sorry I get that now coops, I was laughing at my own stupidity as I never twigged that's why you were asking. God I'm thick Aye cheers for those searches jacr87, never used any of those search engines before. On those searches though it looks like I'll have to spend a bit more. I've got £12k in the bank. Maybe I should get a car loan so I still have the other cash available if I need it. Hmm, are any of you guys financial advisors? Quote
rich5259 Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 Sarnie (spammeister extrodinaire) does mortgages and insurance, perhaps you can remortgage your house and get loads of mods as soon as you buy the car Quote
nixy Posted January 13, 2010 Posted January 13, 2010 although i do think its time we had a limit put on the amount of scottish people on here! Quote
