martinmac Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 There a a few bad examples around in the classifieds but buying one from here you can check its history and it will have been looked after. Quote
rabbitstew Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Welcome to the forum. Lots of googling and reading will tell you what you should look out for and all you need to know about the 350z. Going from a 1.2 corsa to a 350z! Hope you have checked out the insurance!!! Quote

introspect Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Welcome to the forum. I know how you feel, I went from a 1.2 Punto to the Zed when I was 25 Quote
TomS Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Not been here long myself but welcome! I'll hopefully be going from a 1.25 Fiesta to a zed over the next few weeks so I know how you feel! Quote
Ricey Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Without sounding like a right boring git - watch your right foot if your jumping up 200 odd bph and swapping front to rear drive.......we don't want to be picking you out of a hedge! Quote

I agree! Its some difference in power. Dont just get in it and put your foot down. Enjoy the car.... But sensibly till you get used to it, lol. I still get the occasional shock from mine. Quote
Cragus Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Welcome and good luck! As others have said FAQ section is a good place to start! Quote
Lloydacus Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 Hi there mate I'm 21 as well, went from a Saxo vtr to the zed big change in power just take it easy for the first couple of months till you get used to it. And don't buy the first one you see, they have a habit of making you see things through Rose tinted spectacles Quote
magic84 Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 welcome dont listen to them i did the same jump as you, but mine was a twinport . your love the zed but do take care in the wet Quote
