jackhjharding Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Dear all I'm thinking about getting my first Z in the next few months and am trying to work out the finances! Aside from the initial cost of the car and fuel, would anyone be able to give me a rough idea of what I will need to shell out (what and how much) e.g. services, tyres, brakes, etc. I appreciate this will depend a lot on how old/condition of the car, but I just want an idea! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Hi and welcome to the forum. There is a thread on here somewhere about the cost up to 100k so I will try to find it a post a link unless someone else beats me to it.

Just to qualify one or two of the above, servicing costs depend on whether you use a Nissan Dealer and where in the UK you are, I paid £210 (with my own oil and filter) for a P3 and insurance can be as low as £350 depending on age, where in the UK you are and no claims record.

Mutl3y Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Petrol's the killer, the other costs are about the same as you'd expect for any other performance car. But once you've got it, you'll learn to forget all about the costs and just love the drive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But once you've got it, you'll learn to forget all about the costs and just love the drive... well its bound to be a fair bit cause of the size of the engine but i am gurrently spending near 250 a month on diesel but with new job will only have to do 50 miles a week so i cant describe how happy this make me, a five minute drive to work instead of an hour ohhhhh happy days and what do people think of the import that are available and also do re maps, or up revs as i seem to read a lot offer much for the money???

steve350 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 no this one has been on here twice now, its not too far from me about 20 miles just not so keen on the carbon top, but sure that could be changed and the seats arent leather but a local dealer has got a set for 250 so this makes me rather happy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
