jimboy2 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 So as of Thursday, fingers crossed my Megane Sport will have been sold and I will be in the hunt for a Z I'm looking for a face lift or a cheaper HR Ideally I want a blue Z but I'm happy with any other colour apart from BLACK. I like the tan interior too. I want leather interior and full GT spec Would prefer breather mods already done. Full service history obviously and would like sub 65-70k really. I live in Portsmouth so the closer the better Could people please keep half a eye out on something? Budget of 9k max. Also if there is anyone about that wouldn't mind coming with me to view Quote

Dean_1983 Posted June 9, 2014 Posted June 9, 2014 Wouldn't you consider a older model ... I picked up a 04 reg full GT , great history and only 47k for £6200 Might be worth considering ! Loads out there ... Good luck with the hunt Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote
jimboy2 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Posted June 9, 2014 I just want something a little newer than that. I prefer the interior upgrades and I'm sure the engine upgrade can only be good. Quote
jimboy2 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 And the megane has now sold. Time to get car shopping! Quote
350zedd Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Your budget should stretch to an 07 HR, mine came in under £9.5k for a standard car with 30k miles. You wont be disappointed, its a beautiful motor. Quote
jimboy2 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Hope your right. Looking at some of them at the moment they are all north of 10k! Quote
N12omc Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Keep looking, I picked up my 06 face lift with sat nav and gt spec in February for under £8k with 70k miles and fsh in great condition. Just need to be right place right time. Good luck, I love mine Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote
jimboy2 Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 I think realistically I will be looking at a facelift. Which is no bad thing. If a HR pops up along the way then bonus. Quote
CJRamze Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 I rushed into mine. Saw a 2006 in Azure blue and had to have it. Wish I had waited and bought a HR. I spent enough! Sent from my One using Tapatalk Quote
jimboy2 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 I'm really really gonna try not to rush into buying again. I was desperate for the the yellow GT4 for sale the other day. It wasn't anything I was looking for but it looked nice. Quite glad it sold quickly as I may have been disappointed not getting a newer model. Quote
jimboy2 Posted June 13, 2014 Author Posted June 13, 2014 So there is this one. Has anyone seen it or know it? Straight off only been serviced 4 times apparently. Surely should have been done at least 6 right? http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/nissan/350z/2007-nissan-350z-gt-lovely-rare-colour-big-spec-vehicle-low-miles-petrol-manual/2317051?isexperiment=true It's a hr it's a nice colour and it's maybe achievable budget wise. Anyone have much luck knocking a few quid from a dealer. Not ever bought second hand from a dealer! Quote
N12omc Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Didn't prefer not to go black? If serviced properly it would be due one so would make sure one is included in the deal, it seems about getting as much as you can in the price rather than knocking them down. Don't be disappointed if this doesn't work out, you'll find the right one. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote
JetSet Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 Straight off only been serviced 4 times apparently. Surely should have been done at least 6 right? http://www.pistonhea...experiment=true Quite a few owners, especially those doing 3 or 4,000 miles a year will have them serviced by miles, or every couple of years, which in my mind is O.K. However, even doing it this way this one should have had 5 services and be due another one right now. At least one service has exceeded the 9k service limit so I'd check the service book and make sure it's had at least one P3 service. Pete Quote

N12omc Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 It will look awesome if you are a detailing/car cleaning junkie i have always fancied black for the way they look with a great finish, but never seen it through (I love my detailing too) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote
Dean_1983 Posted June 14, 2014 Posted June 14, 2014 I'm also into detailing , and nothing better than a detailed black car ... But no matter what it still looks dirty 3 miles down the road .. I told myself I'd never have another black car I went for silver , can't believe how easy It is to keep clean Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote
jimboy2 Posted June 14, 2014 Author Posted June 14, 2014 Yeah I'm thinking of silver or the gun metal this time. Or if I can find a nice azure I will be happy with that. Quote
