zCarl Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hello all, I've just joined the club as a prospective owner of this 350Z - the first open top I've had for a couple of years. I've been intrigued by the Zed's but never owned one up to now (I had a series of Boxsters since 2000), but I have the inclination to add one to my garage now. I'm very lucky in having a wife who loves cars too, so there's no real friction when I go home and suggest a new 2 seater, and she's looking forward to Zed ownership as well. I'm going to visit the one above in the next day or so and I'm hoping it's condition is as the ad suggests, and I'll bring it home the same day. Looking forward to some top down shennanigans in the months to come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aidan Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Best colour - but then I'm biased :teeth: And I thought mine was low miles at 37k Looks a good one. Edited February 26, 2014 by aidan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmck13 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Now you are a member of the blue azure Mafiosi, because there is only one colour. The rest are sleeping with the fishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will370z Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Welcome, fingers crossed it will be a great summer as i am fed up of the rain now. Should be perfect for the roadster. One thing i would say though is check the roof very carefully for any kind of rips, leaks or pulling (look at the top left and right joins diagonally up from the rear window) and that the opening / closing mechanism works well. If there are any problems at all just walk away otherwise its an expensive bill to fix. I would also recommend pouring lots of water over the roof, particularly over the doors to see if anything leaks inside to the footwells. I and a number of others have had this problem and in the end it was the reason i sold the car. Fingers crossed though that you have a gem Edited February 26, 2014 by Will370z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinmac Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Welcome to the forum. As Will says check the roof. Also check it operates easily although no doubt the dealer will have opened and closed it a few times before you arrive unless you are early of course.

Also check it operates easily although no doubt the dealer will have opened and closed it a few times before you arrive unless you are early of course. I wouldnt bet on it! When I looked at mine the dealer had to look in the manual to workout how the roof operated, then it got stuck half way down. Okay, so it was freezing cold and Nissan dont recommend you operate the hood in the cold, but even so! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cars low mileage is both a selling point and a point of concern. I'm hoping the mileage is true and the interior is as new, but you have to ask why its so low. Plus leaving a car to stand can be just as wearing as high mileage, but well see. Personally I'd be happy with the Coupe but my good lady wife loves drop tops so I'm compromising to get a zed - any zed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meeerrrk Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Looks really tidy - good choice! Agree on the roof, in this weather it probably won't go down properly so ask for the car to be inside for a while so it warms up and try it in there. The roofs aren't that great on these cars, they become quite tough and can crack/ begin to rip...sounds horrendous but I got a brand new mohair roof fitted to ours for £850 and it's the best money I've spent so far....it even goes down in cold weather where it didn't before! Looking forward to the summer to enjoy that noise, with the roof down enjoy it!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
