PDean350 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Hi all, I've been browsing these forums for some time now and I though that it's about time I introduced myself! My name is Paul, I'm a Graphic Designer from Hereford and I'm currently looking to buy a 350Z. I'm currently selling my '06 Hyundai Coupé V6 which is a lovely car, but lacks the power of a 'proper' sports car For a long time I've been mulling it over about what car to get as a replacement, thought about an RX8, Audi S4, even an Evo, but a friend of mine runs a small car dealership and took me out for a spin to get petrol in a 350Z he just bought in to stock and offered to let me drive back from the petrol station. That 5 minute drive absolutely convinced me - I gotta get a Zed Currently have my old car up for sale and am looking for a replacement right now, I wanted to say that so far this forum has been a massive help in knowing what to look for. Looking forward to participating in this forum! Cheers, Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will370z Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Welcome and good luck with the purchase. I recently test drove the 350z they had in Steels in Hereford as my parents live there. Good luck finding the right car you won't regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDean350 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Thanks for the warm welcome guys - very much appreciated! I've driven past that same car every day on the way to work - even been in to see it myself a few weekends back It looks great but they were asking waaay to much for it, it's much more reasonably priced now but it doesn't have the GT pack which is top of my list of must-haves lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruddles Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hello and to the forum Paul! I'm surprised you can get to Steels considering rush hour traffic in the Ford! Take it on the Malvern back roads when you've made your purchase...great fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDean350 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yeah traffic's somewhat insane around 9-10am in Hereford! And yes there's some excellent roads around Malvern way that's for sure Truth be told I'm not having the best luck selling my current car, never quite reaches reserve price but I'll keep relisting it until it does finally sell. I'm hoping to have a budget of between £8,000 and £10,000 which all hinges on me selling the car for the best price. From what I've seen I should be able to get a half-decent 02-04 plate for that, which I'd be more than happy with! Some decent looking ones about at the moment too! Thanks again for the welcome guys - seems like a genuinely friendly forum, something I can't say about other car forum's I've been a member of in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronzee Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 Welcome to the forum Paul. Happy hunting. Keep your eye on the for sales on here, you might just pick up an club car, that's usually been well cared for & has known history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDean350 Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Thanks for the info I'll definately keep an eye out for a club car (seen a few I recognise on eBay from my browsing here!) Currently having a tough time finding a buyer for my current Hyundai Coupe, I guess the £435 tax is putting people off. Gutted really since my car was registered 1 month after the new legislation came in doubling the tax for the V6 Whilst I'd rather not go that route I've contacted a few garages about part-ex'ing the car against a zed but so far absolutely none of them have replied which is shocking! Even if it's a "no we're not interested, bugger off" type of response I'd accept it and move on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PDean350 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well the Coupe has finally gone this afternoon Potentially going to view and maybe buy a Zed this weekend, pending an inspection Whilst it wasn't a Zed, the Coupe was a great car and (to a degree) will be missed! Having to make do with my Dad's shed of a Mondeo for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
