Stream Posted May 19, 2010 Posted May 19, 2010 Hi all, All roads have lead me to here on my 350Z quest I have been researching the 350z , ownership cost, mpg , boot size, all the practicalities, not sure why , but its what you do right? How did I ever buy anything before the internet... So now researched, googled out and 95% convinced, thinking sod practical get a Roadster after all the suns been out for 2 days , I have spotted this one which is pretty close to me, and it has all the toys http://www.sennsports.co.uk/vehicle/114/2007_NISSAN_350Z,_3.5_V6,_313BHP_GT_PACK. Does anyone know this car at all ? Anything i should look out for ... or words of encouragement to take the plunge ! Thanks Quote
bronzee Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Welcome to the forum. Looks fine from what I can see. Apart from needing a wash and a clean under the bonnet. Bit of curbing on the rims. The others will be along shortly. Quote
DoogyRev Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 to the forum. Nice looking Roadster Best colour as well Quote
ATTAK Z Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Anything i should look out for ... or words of encouragement to take the plunge ! Thanks Go for it ... but check the hood works OK Welcome Quote
rich5259 Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 to the forum. As before, Check operation of the hood and try for a discount as the wheels are "standard" Rays and not Volks Quote
UNABASHED Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 I keep seeing a sunset roadster near me and I just cannot get on board with the looks when the roof is up, I saw a few at Modified live that had the roof down and they looked very though. If you get one just make sure that you never put the roof up Quote
Stream Posted May 20, 2010 Author Posted May 20, 2010 to the forum. Corrected the 360z in the title Oops :As before, Check operation of the hood and try for a discount as the wheels are "standard" Rays and not Volks Are there known problems with the hoods ? It has manufacturers warranty until September, so with the UK weather... the hood should get a good workout before its out of warranty As for the price.. whats the opinion.. about right .. or about £500-£600 overpriced ?

martinmac Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 With the bad winter there have been a few roof issues this year. Its down to not opening it very often and the long cold spells really. Also, dealers havent really got as clue about them. I wouldnt worry about it too much. Quote
Ruddles Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 to the forum! sod practical get a Roadster after all the suns been out for 2 days That's the spirit!!! Quote
ChrisS Posted May 20, 2010 Posted May 20, 2010 Nice,shame about the colour. And welcome along. Yet again I folllow Maccaman......How does that always happen ? Quote

Ok.. so another day of indecision, and I can't get to look at it till the weekend... but on closer inspection of the photographs... there is a dent in the front couple that with the curbed alloys and it looks like it may have been abused. Throw into the mix the new dilemma pointed out by the wife, "with the roof up it doesn't look as nice as the coupe, but with the roof down it looks nice. So it will look nice for 1 week of the year....." Quote

The bumpers on that model do have a central dippy bit on the lower nose area below the black strips. Also I notice a mark on the drivers side below the headlight, which looks like it could just be reflection. If that helps. Hard to see really, not the best of photos. Mildy curbed alloys isn't a major. Plenty of folk on here have had their alloys refurbed. The good thing is your wife is behind you purchasing one, definite bonus. Quote

Bockaaarck Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 That looks like a beauty Now get that roof down and enjoy it Quote
mr orange Posted May 31, 2010 Posted May 31, 2010 Nice one mate, now get the roof down, go and find the longest tunnel you can and launch it from 10mph in 2nd gear Quote
Stream Posted June 6, 2010 Author Posted June 6, 2010 Picked it up yesterday , great day for it. Great drive back, makes a great sound with the roof down. today not quite so good wih the rain ... But didn't stop the roof being off between showers Driving round in the dark with the roof off and the heater on... Awesome Quote
