Guest Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Hello all, Just wanted to introduce myself and say hello I've been lurking here quietly for a short while trying my best to ingest all the facets of info I've been reading. I've always been a huge fan of the 350z and only until now have I thought about owning one as my daily drive. I do minim miles annually and think it's the perfect time to treat myself to a car, that based on the opinions and voices of everyone not only here but online seems to be a great choice. In a perfect world I'd like to source a 2005/early 2006, pre tax hike 350z gt. With black leather interior and all the trimmings. Ive got a budget of £10000 to play with which should see me right. I HOPE!! I've tried my best to research various issues and hiccups that should be taken into consideration when looking... I was wondering if any of you kind fellows could shed some brief gems of info that would stand me in good stead to make a purchase pretty soon I'm hoping to view some this week, possibly even taking a drive to tradelink. Although I've heard mixed things about these guys I firmly believe in treating everything with a pinch of salt. Anyway thanks for your time and I can't wait to be a very happy enthusiastic Z owner !!!!!!!! THANKS!! Luke. Quote
tatooandy67 Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Hi & Good luck with your search, drive a few before deciding there's plenty out there Quote
ZMANALEX Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 to the forum. You will have plenty change left over with your 10K budget for a 2005/2006 model: Alex. Quote
Guest Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks guys!! My day has been spent sat on the sofa browsing countless websites and communities. The bonus of having the mrs away on a girly weekend I guess I'm not savy with all the forum rules as yet but can I repost listings of cars for sale within this thread??? Would be great to get any feed back, proving of course they're not snapped up!!! From what I've seen 7/8.5k seems reasonable for a 2005/6 gt spec, good mileage nice condition etc.... But may be wrong, like I said I'm very new to the Z scene but thirsty for knowledge Cheers guys! Quote

As far as I'm aware you can ~ it's a different matter though if it's a car you're trying to sell but no problem if it's one you're after buying advice/opinions on. Welcome aboard btw Luke.

Guest Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Perfect!! Il post some examples in that case - although I fear I'm already already becoming my own worse enemy I'm seeking out the absolute perfect model in black! still let's see what crops up... Are they're any suggested sites out side of auto trader, piston heads, eBay, etc?? Quote
RickyZ Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 If I had a 10k budget I'd be going for a later HR car. The tax difference is about 2 tanks of fuel. You'd also have a newer, faster car that would be easier to sell on after Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote

Guest Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 Thanks guys - I may well look into a HR model then. Can someone tell me when they introduced the built in upper sat nav unit?? Quote
