It has the GT pack with Bose stereo and Rays engineering alloys. The mileage isn't really an issue as it has full dealer history. It's only had 1 owner and it's still got original aerial. Change that for a stubby and you're well away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let us know how you get on. Do all the usual checks that have been mentioned. Fan, oil on dipstick, eml warning light, clicky axles etc etc Oh.....and of course the drivers door handle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippypooz Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 One thing to remember, make sure you have a little more cash tucked away as you WILL end up getting bitten by the mod disease, i naively bought mine will no intention of modding but thanks to Payco who now seems to be my mod agent i have run up a rather large bill.

GMballistic Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Thanks for the warm welcome guys! Here are the two I'm looking at at the moment. http://www.trademoto...201410318641674 http://www.autotrade...201410128153875 Both look pretty good for the age/mileage. I'd be leaning more towards the second one though as it is the GT with Rays, Bose etc. Also has "Z" burger badges I noticed so maybe more of a Zed enthusiast owned car. One thing to check in the service history though on either of those cars is to see if they've had the spark plugs changed as they should have been done at (every) 54K miles or 5 years whichever came soonest. Have a good read through this: http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/31110-service-schedule-for-a-350z/ Maybe print it off & take it with you so that when you look at the service history you can see what things are missing off it which should really have been done. The plugs not being done aren't a massive deal breaker but it should have been done & will cost you at least £220 from a Nissan main dealer ~ of course I wouldn't say use a main dealer as a good independent garage will be just as good & cheaper but it's a good bargaining chip for getting money off the car if you intend to buy it.

JonRigby Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Just got back from the test drive and visit. Loved it! Already hooked! Car was in great condition, even the doors looked good! Unfortunately they offered a low amount for my car so I didn't take it away but my car will be going up for sale tomorrow! The one thing I noticed was that it didn't have a sat nav in the centre console, is that just for the facelifts?

The one thing I noticed was that it didn't have a sat nav in the centre console, is that just for the facelifts? Glad you enjoyed it. I remember the first time I went out in one ( thanks tophooker), and got totally hooked. Mines a facelift and doesn't have a satnav. It was a dealer optional extra afaik, but I think most JDM imports have one. Glwts of your car ( soon to be ex) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Sat nav was an option and it's pretty useless by all accounts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the job, and like ZEUS said, theyre pretty rubbish...apparently!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyZ Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 I recommend going to see a few examples and test drive them all. The first four I went to see looked good at first but when I saw the one I bought it made the others look like dogs. I ended up paying over a grand more than I wanted to but I guess it's worth it in the long run as I've had no issues with mine.
