TheGrinch Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Hi, Thought I'd introduce myself. I'm a potential new owner looking to buy my first 350z (probably a <2005 soft top). I currently own a Fiat Coupe Turbo Plus but feel the need for a normally aspirated, high displacement two seat, RWD soft-top. I'd be grateful if people could point me toward the buyer's guides / information about what to look for when choosing the right car. I'm not a mechanic by any strech, but I have a rudimentary grasp of the technical components. Thanks Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrinch Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks for the welcome guys. I'm trying to remember a user I saw yesterday. His image pic has some light letters at the top referring to his Z and red letters at the bottom talking about his new Aston. There is a split sig pic showing both cars. Can someone remind me of his handle - there's a car I'm looking at where someone claims to have replaced with an AM Vantage, just wondering if its him. Otherwise sounds like a reasonably tall claim! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGrinch Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks Martin. Yes, that was the chap I had in mind. Not the same car though, so it's not the bloke I have been talking to. The model of car I currently own are often cheap to buy but can be really expensive to run if you buy the wrong one. This means that the people who have nice examples tend to have armfulls of paper history going back years, receipts to support service book stamps, all previous MOTS, maintenance by specialists etc. Quite a few of the cars I've looked at are serviced by the local Nissan dealer, don't have all the MOTs, slightly incomplete documentation history etc. Am I being too paranoid? Is it the case that, given we are talking about Nissan here, there are not a plethora of things that might be about to go wrong and that therefore specialist servicing and anal paperwork is just not as common. Have I (i) just not found the right car yet or (ii) I'm shopping at the less expensive end of the market and although they are nice cars they are not the best of the marque. Any thoughts welcomed.
