GMballistic Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Thanks for those links I've had a quick read. I'm mainly wanting some advice on the engines. are they all ok or any to avoid or aim for thanks Depends on your budget really and also what interior/exterior you like. The HR engine is the newest incarnation in a 350Z so that's what I'd aim for if you can but then they are a lot more money to buy than the earlier first gen DE engine 350Z's. Quote
smitadog Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Not got a huge budget to be honest. £6000 tops really. are there many diffences in the interior and exterior designs. is the HR engine a lot better than the DE engine..? Also wot about the DE rev up engine.? Quote
GMballistic Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Rather than me trying to write out all the differences between the models have a read here when you get 5 mins: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_350Z Early 350Z interior. 2006 onward's interior. For £6K you're looking at either a DE or DE RevUp. Personally I'd try to find a really good DE as the tax bracket is less although some of the RevUp models do have a lower tax bracket depending on when they where first registered. In saying that though the tax difference is still small. FSH is a must imo and tbh the mileage doesn't really bother me but you may want to try to get a lower mileage model if you can.

CJRamze Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) If my budget was 6000 I'd be looking at a DE you won't find a HR for that money. You might find a 50,000+ DE Model though! Edited April 9, 2015 by CJRamze Quote
