jamiek Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Hi everyone, New here and new to the 350z. I am looking for somewhere that hires out the 350z so I can try before I buy properly. Ideally somewhere near to Chester, will travel to Liverpool or Manchester areas though. I tried my local Nissan garage here in Chester but they only have the 370z and looked at a few car hire companies I can't see them offering the 350z. If anyone knows anywhere I would appreciate it. Looking for anywhere from a few days hire up to a month. Cheers, Jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philw99 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'd say it would be cheaper to just buy one and sell it a month later if you decide you like it keep it Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Independant dealer. Basically, anywhere selling one local within your price range that you might buy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiek Posted July 13, 2014 Author Share Posted July 13, 2014 Independant dealer. Basically, anywhere selling one local within your price range that you might buy. Ok thanks for explaining. Are they likely to hire the car to me for a few days also? Or just test drive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Just test drive for an hour or so, I would imagine. Maybe more if you pay fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ioneabee Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 because the 350 is no longer manufactured ie there are no new one anymore and it "effectively" superceded by the 370 - I can't see anyone hiring one out. it's not excactly considered a premium car - and those companies that hire out premium cars, tend to hire out porsche / ferrari etc etc you're best bet is as above - offer to pay for fuel for the day and see what they say when previously looking to purchasing a family wagon, the dealer let me have the car for 24 hours - I don't think thats very common though 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anyone knows anywhere that hires them though please do let me know. Cheers No one will hire them, the newest 350 is well outside a hire conpanies age limit. T here are a few owners local to you, why don't you try and get to a local meet and talk to owners - that said meets in chester are quite rare. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhackyWill Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Maybe there is a member on here local to you, who may show you his. as said above doubt if you will find one to hire. anyway Welcome to the Forum . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiek Posted July 15, 2014 Author Share Posted July 15, 2014 I won't regret the car, I might regret how much fuel it uses! Oh well.. I'm only here once. Looking on auto trader and the classifieds on this website at the moment. Anyone know any of good places to keep an eye out for the 350z for sale?
