Mikey81 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I'm currently looking at going from an S2k to 350z, if you can get the car cheaper than book price why not buy it and try to make a few quid, if you have the money sat there? If you like it then keep it a while, if you don't you have a few more £ to go towards the 370z a 2007 car will be drive by wire, having the valve clearance checked is essential on those engines suspension geometry has it been checked and greased they have a habit of seizing (best part of £1-2k if they are seized) just because its 1 owner make sure the car is still straight red isn't the most desirable colour and they can fade, but a polish tends to bring them back does it have a hardtop with it Quote
parello9 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 This s2000 i know inside out with of documentation present and if it needs bits doing to it they gone done asap! The other main reason it attracts me is cause i know every little detail of it and what its had done Quote
Jetpilot Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Couldnt get my head around paying 10k for what is in essence a car that was released 15 years ago, i dont see it being worth twice ish what a reasonable 350 would cost. I would be more inclined to find a fi'd one, i am guessing you could buy for one less than this, but thats just my opinion, variety is the spice of life and if you have an itch, which it seems you do, scratch it 1 Quote
Mikey81 Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 It seems you know the car well and whats been done to it, i would still view it as a possible money maker rather than something to keep if you are looking for a 370z Quote
parello9 Posted October 2, 2014 Author Posted October 2, 2014 I'm thinking to go straight to a 370z now.. i love the torque of my 350 and i don't think the s2k will compare as you cant drive it and get instant power plus im a 'Z boy now and love the v6 grunt the s2k just sits in my mind lol 1 Quote
Zeezeebaba Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 (edited) Avoid Honda Reds unless your garaging it, they fade badly. Cool cars the S2k's, and the later the better as early ones were very unpredictable. Edited October 2, 2014 by Zeezeebaba Quote
Exotic Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 The s2000 just looks too much of a girls car to me (and it actually was in 2 Fast 2 Furious!), the Z is much more masculine and better looking car to my eyes. Quote
Kev Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Avoid Honda Reds unless your garaging it, they fade badly. Cool cars the S2k's, and the later the better as early ones were very unpredictable. Unpredictable is a bit of a understatement. They try to kill you 1 Quote
Ekona Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 The one I thrashed on track was fine. And that was on mixed tyres, with the crap ones at the rear. Brilliant cars. If only they were a little bigger inside. Gearshift to die for though! Quote
