666 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Hi, loved the 350z since it came out, i am now in a position to buy one. I have got 10 grand to spend and have spotted one very close to were i live which is handy (although i would travel for the right one) the Z in question is a 2004 (04) GT with 85,000 miles on the clock, its had 4 owners and has FSH although the last 3 were not at Nissan (does this matter) the car to me looks in superb condition, its Burnt Orange with Orange and Black leather with all the usual GT extras and Rays alloys they are asking £9, 980 i have a cheap part ex and would hope to pay £9,000. Whats your opinions on this car would the fact its had 4 owners or done 85,000m put you off? are 350z OK for big milages? Any opinions good or bad welcome. Thanks, Tony.

rich5259 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 to the forum. Several people here have Zeds approaching or past 100,000 miles (one is even over 147,000) - it's not a problem it's been serviced regularly. 4 owners in 6 years is also nothing to worry about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruddles Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I would like to think you may be able to get a bit better mileage for that price! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT4 Zed Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 I would like to think you may be able to get a bit better mileage for that price! +1. The zed is very solid especially if looked after but you will get more car(less mileage/ less owners)for your 10K + PX so shop around and don't be lazy Here you go to start you off : http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/list.a ... =&nodays=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky370z Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 i would say for 10K you would get a better UK car than the one you have found. would u consider a import? as they can be cheaper but usually still well looked after. around the 8K mark for an import.

MacW Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 At the risk of sounding like an echo, you'll get better than that for your money mate. Also, there's absolutely nothing to worry about with a high mileage zed as long as the service history is complete. Have a read through the buyers guide sticky in the FAQ section and keep your eyes open for the common faults (of which there are few enough) and feel free to stick a link up to any car you're interested in for the general populous to endorse or ridicule.

geoff-r Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 On that mileage I'd give them 8.5k tops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 Not having my zed for long, but having shed loads of cars in my time, i would be very sus of a car with that many owners. If you could contact them all it wouldnt be so bad. With this type of car you will never know if its been ragged round a track! Do some leg work bud and you will get a decent car. Took me 5 months to find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic84 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 there are plenty about at the moment, for 10 k your get a really nice car, go with an open mind and dont fall in love with 1st one you see, if your not 100% sure its the one move on. i looked at around 5 before i bought mine and traveled all over the shop. good luck.

davetstan Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Any pics of it Toe? I'm sure one of the members on here has one for sale. I would favour that if I were you as it will be looked after well IMO. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MacW Posted May 10, 2010 Share Posted May 10, 2010 Assuming there's nothing on the problem list wrong with it I would say that's a good deal, especially as you'll likely be able to knock it under the 9k mark with a little haggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
