neo-ninja Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I have been playing with the idea of moving on from the 350z. Loved every moment I have had it, not done a huge amount of miles in the 4 years or so but its been great fun! Although my problem at the moment is I cannot really find its replacement. I want something of similar ilk, with not more then around 40-50k miles but don't really want to spend more then £16k. 370zs at the moment seem to be a little more then that. I also want to get something that is similar cost fuel, servicing etc.. Is there anything? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Not sure tbh but with all this talk on here lately of Skyline R33/R34/R35's I think that may be where I next go looking for a new motor. Can't imagine selling my Zed at the moment but then I've not had it anywhere near as long as you have. Have you thought about investing some cash in a Supercharger set up for your Zed maybe? That would definitely change the way it drives for you and cost you probably no more than £5K odd to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 http://www.nineteen80one.com/Skyline/ Doesn't fit on mileage but pretty similar in other ways 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 What's the list of must/must nots? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo-ninja Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I did look at Skylines but really (and no offense to anyone) they arnt for me, I want something newer really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo-ninja Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 @Ekona - ideally something around 16k, no more then 55k miles done, something fairly speedy, not older then 6-7 years. Would love it to have some gadgets and gizmos as it will be used for an every day car. Also really needs to be about the same price to run, service etc.. I have had a rummage around on the usual sites, autotrader, pistonheads etc.. but nothing really is jumping out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amadour Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 when i wrote off my old z i considered an old 5.7 monaro- similar spec but bigger engine and more seats Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aidan Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 under 16k, similiar engine size to z, same car type, not too old........basically your talking BMW or Audi.....poss an older 996. Nothing really to get the blod flowing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neo-ninja Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yeah it seems like z4m might be my only option, but that sort of feels like a step down in a way as i decided over a z4 to get the Zed. IM thinking i may hold out for a 370 really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IM thinking i may hold out for a 370 really. Im not a bug fan of the Z4 (as we probably all know!) but from what I hear you just cannot compare a Z4 to a Z4M......the M is supposed to be one serious piece of kit.

lovie Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 How about this? My next choice but I would have older / cheaper version. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201402221999309/sort/pricedesc/usedcars/page/1/onesearchad/used%2Cnearlynew%2Cnew/postcode/bs379xs/price-to/16000/make/bmw/model/6_series/radius/1500?logcode=p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Cayman? Yes, that's what I'd go for, did consider one a few years back and might reconsider in a couple of years time, when we'll only need one car. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoogyRev Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Cayman would be on my list as well. . . . although these seem reasonable considering what it was have cost new. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/mercedes-benz/sl/mercedes-benz-sl-class-sl-350-tip-auto-fully-loaded-with-spec-30000-miles/1115713?isexperiment=true Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
