cheese_chaser Posted January 18, 2014 Posted January 18, 2014 Just started looking at Zeds and found this excellent gathering of enthusiasts! Nothing currently in the for sale section that seems to fit the bill so thought I'd see if anyone is thinking of selling theirs but not got to the point of posting the ad yet. Budget of £5k, I'm based in the SW but happy to travel for a good car. Cheers! Quote
lmc Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 Welcome to the forum. Where abouts in the south west are you? Quote
cheese_chaser Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I'm in Chipping Sodbury, South Glos. Thanks for all the welcomes! Edited January 19, 2014 by cheese_chaser Quote
ATTAK Z Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 I have to say that's a pretty low budget Quote
GMballistic Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 ^^ Welcome and what he said. You're probably looking at an 03-04 Zed then with high "ish" mileage for that budget but doesn't mean you won't be able to get a nice one. Just make sure you get one with a FSH and don't let the mileage worry you too much as they are reliable car's when properly maintained (must be run on Super Unleaded btw).

cheese_chaser Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) Such a friendly and welcoming bunch - even more reason to get a 350z! Shaun - your car looks good except it's missing one important thing for me... a third pedal..... It's got to be manual for me I'm afraid. Had a feeling you'd all think my budget is a bit skinny. However I've seen quite a few reasonable looking cars with dealers for £6k - and we all know they have £500-£1k built in as a part ex allowance. Therefore I assumed that either a private sale or readies under a dealers nose would see me in a zed for £5k! I'm going to start looking in earnest this week but I usually prefer to buy privately from someone who has cared for and knows lots about their car rather than a trader just looking for their next sale. Unlike most I'm not that bothered about GT spec as I plan on changing the seats for aftermarket racing seats anyway. This is due to me being freakishly proportioned and that I struggle for headroom in just about everything. My head just about clears in a 350z but no chance of getting a crash helmet on - which I like to do occassionally, (on track days of course, I'm not some weirdo that drives to Tesco in a skid lid!). Also I never listen to any music in a 'fun' car, (especially one that has such a good built in soundtrack) so the GT spec stereo is of no appeal either really And as for cruise control - I want this car for summer driving/camping trips around Wales so will be mucho gear shifting! So a reasonably well looked after car with tatty seats would suit me just fine! Wish me luck! Edited January 19, 2014 by cheese_chaser Quote
cheese_chaser Posted January 19, 2014 Author Posted January 19, 2014 Just seen this - quite posibly the worst ad decription I have ever seen! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-NISSAN-350Z-SILVER-/121253086452 No mention of MOT, SH, HPI clear etc, but who cares about all that meaningless info - OMG ITS GOT BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL!!! I'LL TAKE IT!!! Quote
Shaun1982 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Lol no worries mate, good luck with your search, you will get yourself one easy if you're open to varied colours & no so stringent on having to have this & that etc Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk Quote
