lukekbrown Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Hi Guys , I am currently searching the Country for a 350Z on a 53 - 55 plate with under 50k miles, it has to be a GT spec with full service history. Am looking to spend between 8 - 10k If you are looking at selling your car or know someone who is selling up please reply to this post or pm me. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Have a look in the for sale section. Its the place where people who are selling will advertise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomS Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Shouldn't take you too long to find one in good condition! I recently bought a 04 GT with 33k on the clock for around your budget and it's in very good condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukekbrown Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 I've looked on the for sale section. There are some nice motors within my price range but unfortunatelt have too high mileage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Why so stringent on the mileage? Your basically asking for an 8 year old car that has done less than 6k a year............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukekbrown Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 I do approx 15k miles a year, so if I get a zed with say 60k miles, my car will have 90k on the clock after 2 years and am very concious of the car de-valuing so much Therefore if I buy a car with less mileage, I should hopefully avoid so much devaluation (forgive me i'm a quantity surveyor so am always thinking about money ).

lukekbrown Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 What do you guys think of this? http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... 8386549925 A bit out of my price range, but seems like a well priced car. Do you think I should wait a little longer for something to come along within my budget? Or shall I gamble? Need your guys help..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going to stretch the budget, get a MY06....... Well, the facelift model came out in 2006 and is known as the MY06, 2003-2005 models are known as MY03. As I understand it, the last of the MY03 models were built in 2005 although a few can be found on 06 plates and a handful on 56 plates.

lukekbrown Posted May 14, 2011 Author Share Posted May 14, 2011 I viewed 3 cars today and still no luck (all dealers , so we're quite expensive). There aren't many private sellers for zeds It seems as though I've missed all the good deals on pistonheads, as the one's I'm interested in are sold. I guess I just have to be patient and wait for the right one to come along So frustrating when you have the money and can't have the beautiful V6 on the drive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGrover Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 We seem to be looking for similar... this one is eye-catching but too rich for my blood: click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harman350z Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Mine is for sale but i have just hit 60k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukekbrown Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 I found a really nice gunmetal 05 plate convertible on autotrader with 44k on the clock. So thought I better check insurance before I ring the chap up to view. Well let's just say i'm not getting a convertible lol. Bell insurance want another 1k a year to drive a convertible instead of a coupe How on earth can they justify that? Admittedly I don't live in the most best postcode, however I don't see how they can substantiate that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukekbrown Posted May 16, 2011 Author Share Posted May 16, 2011 We seem to be looking for similar... this one is eye-catching but too rich for my blood: click. That is nice. But wouldn't like handing over all that hard earned cash and circa £450 a year on tax. I'll keep my eyes on 06 downwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukekbrown Posted May 20, 2011 Author Share Posted May 20, 2011 I've found a car with 62k on the clock on an 04 plate in gunmetal, its got the GT pack and has Rays alloys. It's got full service history, 12 months MOT, just had clutch replaced, 4 new tyres, front brake pads and disks 3,000 miles ago. He's got the car advertised for £7,750 no offers as he's looking for a quick sale, do you think I should go for it? I'm just a bit worried about the mileage, however it's still below average.

cesc Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Just seen this one for £7k which seems remarkably cheap: http://pistonheads.com/sales/2765805.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
