£6k should get you a very nice import around 2004 or a similar aged high mileage UK

[Scott TMN]

What sort of spec would you say I could expect from that price? A uk version but be preferable

Hello and

 

You could find a high(er) mileage UK GT for that kind of budget (I did).

[Scott TMN]

Lol cheers Ian. What sort of mileage are we talking when we say higher mileage? And I understand that a FSH counts for a lot too, even if the mileage is quite high?

[S1 HNK]

Don't focus too much on mileage. Just find one that's been well looked after, they are out there and you'll soon know when looking around.

My car had 80k when I bought it last year and it's at 91k now. There are members with cars over 100k that are still going strong (the cars that is, the members, well....).

 

Find a nice car that's heen looked after. Read this guide: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/22880-guide-for-new-memberspotential-buyers/

And don't forget to look in the Zeds for sale section on the forum.

 

A service history is important, but don't be put off if it's not a full Nissan service history. Many cars are looked after by enthusiasts, that carry out their own servicing and maintenance, or are taken to independants that they trust.

cheers guys, iv seen a few on the 80k mark now FSH. Lets see what happens

Welcome! Good luck with your search. I browsed all the websites for months and even started to consider and look closer at ones I'd previously flicked passed that weren't up to my ideal spec, just because I wanted one so badly. But one will come up suddenly and you'll know when its the perfect one Keep us updated!

[Scott TMN]

Thanks for all the welcomes guys!

 

Good news! Picked up my Zed yesterday! 4 hour train journey to o see it, then an awesome drive back! Actually in love! Ill get a project thread going soon!

 

But for now it's a GM 54 plate gt spec (exactly what I was after)

 

Lol Louisa, all about timing at the end of the day!
