coldel Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 ...so why not spend it on a stunning 350Z Ideally: Under 50k miles GT pack preferable Any colour except Orange Am in SW London, so would be preferable if you are somewhere closeby like within an hours drive or similar. If anyone is wanting to get more seats and/or something sensible I am in the process of selling my 57 plate 1.8i SRi Astra (black, lowered 15mm on Eibach springs, carbon wrapped grill and boot strip, replacement head unit with touch screen DVD and sat nav - still have all original parts if you want to reverse anything) and would consider a p/x Cheers Col Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Sorry just realised I didn't respond to any of your posts - apologies was on a uni reunion in Bristol and have only just regained the ability to speak and create words... Harman, the Astra is up for £7k - Am I allowed to put the pistonheads link in here? If not happy to pass on the link via PM. Nicon/Magic, yep just a little too high on the mileage - is a shame as nice car you have there magic. Nick, love that car mate! Still have it for sale? I might be able to go a little above 9k but really depends on how much I get for the Astra... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldel Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 You want a 350 for 9k and 42k is too much miles makes no difference to these cars imo ? 42k miles is erm fine, I said up front anything around 50k is my target. Doesn't mean I won't consider say a 55-60k miler if it was closeby etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Oh and here is the Astra (thanks Martinmac) - bought it just last December with my head (and some leaning on by the missus) and not my heart when I really wanted a 350Z. She has barely driven it since and has come around to the idea of a nice sports car so now I have permission to sell and get that Z I wanted That said I had some fun smartening up the Astra, amazing the difference 800 quids worth of stuff can make to a cars enjoyment and looks. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2630871.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Gunmetal 2003 UK car FSH 37K miles GT pack with black leather Rays with 4 new tyres £9K Interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olivergreenhill Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 your get a nice 2003 model GT pack with around 30k on clock for £8400 ish.... Took me a few months to find mine in mint condition and that price mind you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted March 23, 2011 Author Share Posted March 23, 2011 Actualyl seen a couple just down the road in my price range just need to shift this damn astra - so frustrating - in fact just knocked £250 off the astra to see if it gets a few more hits. Ian, thanks for the mention, will bear it in mind when I finally get rid of the Astra, just looking a little bit more local at the moment.

coldel Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Oh yes, two people coming to see the car over the coming couple of days. Its an immaculate car so reckon I am in with a chance of selling if they are serious. Also gave me time to think about what I really want. Certainly Black is my favoured colour, a GT pack for sure, 2004, Rays if poss, no more than 55k miles. Want to spend about £9k still, reckon I should be able to get that - if anyone knows of one going... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 how about mine? Tad over the mileage, but has GT, sat nav, parking sensors, Rays etc Could be moved on price a tad http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=39592 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 Thanks Tez, I am going to try get the black colour I want but will bear it in mind as GM is my second choice. I am a sucker for black cars, had a black Scriocco previously, now my black Astra... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 black cars are a pain. lol Shows dirt in the winter, dust in the summer, Swirls in the sunlight and covers up a cars lines. But those 5 minutes after a 14 hour detail session are heavenly looking haha after that its back to being dirty lol. Good luck with the hunt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 We should start a 'what is the best colour and why' debate I am a fanatical car cleaner, every week I am out there. It's my relaxation time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tez162003 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 cleaning is a good relaxation time, but if cleaned wrong can cause no end of damage (whole other topic lol) As for which colour is best, every one will say there own car colour lol. I originally wanted blue but soon saw it wasnt aggressive enough for the 350z. Anyway, if you change your mind and start looking at Gun Metal, let us know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 I am a little confused as to how people classify the colour of their car, this is classed as silver in the ad listing, its GM right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Yes that is a gunmetal grey zed.............. the silver is called blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted April 5, 2011 Author Share Posted April 5, 2011 Just for reference, Astra sold but new Zed bought, so not looking anymore. Thanks, Col. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
