lomoto Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 Hi All ,decided finally to get the wallet out and buy a car,looking at a JDM 2003 model low miles apparently (arnt they all !! LOL ) 11000 miles ... it is an automatic ...has anyone had any experience with an auto Z ?? is it a proper auto or a tiptronic type shift ? also any tips what to look out for problem wise on these cars ? Cheers Tim Quote
Guest prescience Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 I believe Eddmac has an auto - hopefully he'll stop by later to advise. Oh an congrats btw Quote
lomoto Posted January 24, 2006 Author Posted January 24, 2006 Thanks any input will be warmly received Quote
vestitas Posted January 24, 2006 Posted January 24, 2006 If it's a JDM i'm reasonably sure it will be tiptronic.....but I have been known to be wrong from time to time (obviously VERY rarely!!) Quote
Removed Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 it is tiptronic mate congrats! PS i had a go on a tiptronic once, and tbh it was very nice! Quote
Revsport Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 So did you get the car today????? or any update Quote
eddmac Posted January 25, 2006 Posted January 25, 2006 They're Tiptronic, with a "mode" selector button "normal" "power" "Snow" Are the three options - all pretty self explanatory. The box is pretty good too, although you lose a cog over the manual - I never miss it though and they seem to be a bit quicker off the mark, every time too! (no messing with clutches and biting points I haven't had any problems with mine - about 28K miles on it now was about 10K when I got it - Highly recommended mate Quote
lomoto Posted January 25, 2006 Author Posted January 25, 2006 So did you get the car today????? or any update Unfortunately NO.... things transpired against me at my business and couldnt spare the time to make a 200 mile round trip..but theres still the weekend (provided no one else has bought it !! ) I will keep you informed on progress though ,and thanks for asking//. cheers Tim Quote

I wouldn't be surprised if the high beam light has been disconnected - it's miles too bright!! Quote
