funkythumb42 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Hi All, I am currently on the hunt for a nice Z....I currently drive a mk5 golf gti which is a nice car but I am hankering after some v6 rwd action!! I have looked around dealers and there seem to be a lot of scabby 350z's kicking about. I think I may be best of selling the GTi private and buying a nice clean example from a forum user...seems to be the best way for these cars!! What you guys reckon? I WILL have my dream Z soon, heart wants an orange one but head says I should go for a more suttle colour :-) Quote
funkythumb42 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 Hi mate your from the North East, im in gateshead let me know if you know of any good Z's for sale in the area!! Quote
Lexx Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 If you don't mind having to do a little work to get a car perfect, then this one is a steal: viewtopic.php?f=56&t=58439 I can vouch for it being a well looked after car too Quote
funkythumb42 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 im happy if the car is mechanically sound.....that one looks beautiful! cosmetics can easily be sorted for the summer its not like my gti is picture perfect a 7-8 year old car will always have it scuffs Just need to find a buyer for the gti!!!

LRF4N Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Welcome along mate. Let's see the outgoing golf Quote
funkythumb42 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 As requested, the outgoing gti....no mods apart from remapped to 240bhp and had the wheels sprayed gloss black. Pretty nice spec with xenons, heated seats and factory sat nav, will def miss her! After sitting in a Z i would say the gti interior is much nicer and better built but im not to concerned about that I just want v6 and rwd :-) [attachment=1]165524_10150102737345907_659025906_7798800_4695697_n.jpg[attachment=0]15733_219244780906_659025906_4533291_1015046_n.jpg[/attachment][/attachment] Quote
LRF4N Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 Looks tidy. The zed may not have an interior to rival anything from Germany but as far as jap sports car interiors go it's not bad at all Everything else about it will make u forget the golf tho Quote
funkythumb42 Posted February 19, 2012 Author Posted February 19, 2012 agreed the z i test drove was much more fun to drive than the golf, which won me over. The z looks stunning from the outside but some of the interior seems a bit looses and plastic :-) but who care about that???! Quote
bronzee Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Welcome to the forum. Have a nose at the for sales on here, generally a tidier. Quote
rabbitstew Posted February 23, 2012 Posted February 23, 2012 Going from a Golf GTI (albiet a mk4 GT TDI), you`ll notice how the interior isnt as good. You`ll also probably find you wont be able to drive it as hard with as much confidence as you`ll have gotten used to in a hot FWD hatch. Also, your right. You are will be miles better off selling your car privately. I got over 4 times (yes FOUR TIMES) the price the dealer offered me for my Golf by selling it privately. Depending on the dealer, they will just stick your car straight into an auction, so they`ll simply give you same price they fetch in the auction just to get shot of it. Your golf does look nice though, so you may be a bit more lucky and if its non a main dealer then they might just mark it up and put it on their forecourt. Quote
bronzee Posted February 24, 2012 Posted February 24, 2012 You`ll also probably find you wont be able to drive it as hard with as much confidence as you`ll have gotten used to in a hot FWD hatch. Better tyres. Then you can throw the car around a lot more. Quote
