Keiran Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hi everyone, new to the forum and will hopefully be buying a 350z early this week. Just read the buying guide in the FAQ's but wondered if there was anything to specifically look for in an import? and what everyones view on imports are? Seen this advertised close to where I live by a garage who specialise in Jap cars and imports: http://www.esperformance.co.uk/car_350z ... _index.php Spoke to him earlier and he said the car has covered 55k miles and that he has all original paperwork, all MOT's, both keys and its fully serviced. Although I did just read that the service around the 55k mark is a biggie so will have to check to see if thats been done. What do people think, is it worth a look? Thank, Keiran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zugara Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hi & Welcome, There are plenty of great examples for sale on this forum, you may well be better buying from here as you will have honest comments on cars that you buy from here, what you don't actually know is what you are buying from a dealer, regardless of what B.S. they tell you.

Keiran Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 Ok will have a look. Whats the general feel on imports? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tprice Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 they are no different except cost of insurance really obviously the clocks will be in KMH but they all should be changed to work in MPH and the plate size on the rear bumper! apart from that iv had an import and a UK car and there are no differences. perform the same, drive the same, look the same minus the plate i wouldnt let it being an import put me off i know loads of friends with imports all of which are 100% fine aslong as you check the car over and take it for a drive and it is all ok (i havent seen the car so i cant tell you anymore than this obv) welcome to the forum too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 There's obviously a difference in price as well. What's your budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Kieran - the car you're looking at appears ok. However - judging by the description the seller doesn't know their zeds so that in itself would put me off Described as having GT pack... no such thing on a JDM Described as having cruise control...

rabbitstew Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 On the face of it, that looks like a nice car, but there are plenty of them out there, so shop around. Id rather buy from an enthusiast than a dealer as you know the car has been looked after well more often than not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
