14N Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 Is your search going to be based purely on colour? Are you mad, Connor? Quote
JetSet Posted May 20, 2014 Posted May 20, 2014 White is a pretty rare colour, mainly because it wasn't an option in The U.K until 2008. the last year of production. So you're looking at either an import, a respray or a wrap. Azure Blue is possibly the most desirable colour, plenty of them about but expect to pay a premium for one. Pete 1 Quote

White is nice but not many around. If the cash can stretch - i personally like the darker blue of late models 350z.....although rare as well. Quote
BillyZed Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Everyone has blue!! Red or White in my opinion Quote
350zmadconnor Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Cheers for the comments anything I have to look at when buying one any common problems? I know these engines are Farley reliable and what kind of mpg do you get mix driving around town main road Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
nowhereboy Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 No major things to look out for really, these cars are expensive to maintain tho so make sure tyres, clutch, brakes are all in good condition, don't make my mistake of buying in haste and ending up having to spend thousands within the first few month. MPG is bad don't let anyone tell you otherwise haha I average about 18mpg. Quote
tatooandy67 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Silver with black/dark wheels looks sweet IMO As above check for usual things you would on any used car clutch, brakes, tyres, service history etc Mpg don't think you'll get more than 18 to 20 round town but that may be significantly lower if you have a heavy right foot But you can't put a price on smiles per miles Edited May 21, 2014 by tatooandy67 Quote
tracymg Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 (edited) Gunmetal grey is a great colour Mine is for sale at the moment... 2004 GT model (shameless plug http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201405144205076/postcode/ts146np/usedcars ) Edited May 21, 2014 by tracymg Quote

14N Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 It's less than 6 months till September dude. You really must stop telling people you're 19 and a half. Lots of information, tips and buying guides on this forum. If you read them and let us know things like model, budget etc, we may be able to help you find a good one. Quote
bamdc2 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Had my heart set on Azure blue, until I saw one up close and I didnt like it that much. P*ssymagnet Grey (Gunmetal) for the win!!! Seriously, your 19??? Man I would have given my left arm to drive a Zed at that age. Although I prob would have crashed it!! Quote
350zmadconnor Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 Im going on holiday in September my birthdays in December and my budget is between 8-10k and bamdc2 thank-you iv had Farley high powered cars all my life Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
350zmadconnor Posted May 21, 2014 Author Posted May 21, 2014 #14 I have got my heart sry on azure blue two but I will have to see one in the flesh to know if it's the colour I want Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
Exotic Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Azure blue = Ford mondeo-ish blue to me I don't think it's a terrible colour at all, but I am surprised a lot of people think it's the best. Colour is a very personal thing. Gun metal was the colour of choice for me - it is the James Bond kind of colour.. and I love the way the colour changes depending on sun light / sky colour. Sometimes it has a greenish hint rather than blue on a cloudy day - lovely colour. But I caught a glimpse of a austin yellow BMW M4 today and have to say I'd love that on my Zed: Quote
bamdc2 Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Definately see some in the flesh and drive a few before commiting to buy. You must be a VIP with your insurance company having high powered cars at a young age, fair play! Quote
Crb Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I really really really wanted white!! ....... Until I saw my red lol Quote
glrnet Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 LOL, I really wanted Blade Silver until I saw my Azure Quote

Come on. http:// It looks good mate but I think it also depends on what colour cars you have had to live with previously. Some people will choose their favourite colour for every car they buy, others will get fed up and change. In my family my dad has had 2 cars in succession which were a dark blue colour which we had for about a decade, so I think that is the reason. Weirdly blue is actually one of my favourite colours in the real world (just not for cars for awhile!). For me lighter metallic colours make the wheel arches and those curve/lines really stand out compared to say dark colours (or even the polar opposite white). Edited May 22, 2014 by Exotic Quote
Grundy Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 No way can you compare it to a Mondeo Azure is a one of a kind colour, 99% of blue cars will never come close to how awesome a Azure Zed is. But we all know Ginger is the fastest. 3 Quote
brillomaster Posted May 22, 2014 Posted May 22, 2014 No way can you compare it to a Mondeo Azure is a one of a kind colour, 99% of blue cars will never come close to how awesome a Azure Zed is. But we all know Ginger is the fastest. Fastest at going backwards! Gunmetal FTW!!!1!! ... actually given the choice again I wish i'd have gone for Azure Blue... Gunmetal is a bit of a nothing colour really, not quite dark enough to be cool. I call it 'drizzle grey' for how well it blends in when its raining. 1 Quote
