ARphotographs Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Hello! I've not been on here in a very long time so not sure who is still around. So, I've started to lay the groundwork with the wife that we should get a 350z as looking into it the costs aren't much over what my mx5 costs. (insurance would only be £200 more a year, tax £40 more a year, fuel only really 5mpg less) Now I remember lots of stuff from years back and have whittled down my thoughts to 3 cars (was 4 this morning but one is cat D for same price as non cat D so nah!) http://www.pistonhea...---2003/4013009 This one seem very cheap but that raises questions, It also looks very standard. http://www.350z-uk.c...y-now-for-sale/ This one comes from here so I know she should be well looked after and she looks great. Lastly, http://www.pistonhea...---2004/4218174 I'm liking her, high milage will be what brings the price down but aren't those 3 spoke alloys off the import? I definitely want UK model as can get it insured for circa £400 yet imports went to above £1k I've been asking these questions when messaging (not got round to the one on this site yet) Hi, I'm interested in your car but i've just got a few questions. is the mileage as per the picture? Is the car fully standard? When was the last service and what level was it? Is there paperwork showing when the clutch was last changed? any other issues with the car? Thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 If the last one is an import they've changed the bumpers around, the alloys are the standard GT alloys as the Rays were optional extras. Also check which side the indicators are on (they'll be on the right if it's an import), the VIN number will start with Z33 if it's an import too I believe.

ARphotographs Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 aww the last one was sort of our favourite. I've sent a message so will see if they get back to me. so what gives it away its an import? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 It's not an import though. If it was an import it would have the dodgy extra hose on the intake and no headlight washers on the bumper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mouthwash Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 As Zeppo said, it's probably not an import. I was just giving you things to look out for to confirm it's not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) I definitely want UK model as can get it insured for circa £400 yet imports went to above £1k There is no way a import should cost that much more if anything at all, you need to hunt around and try some of the specialists on here, some are even paying less for imports. Good luck in your search. Edited June 7, 2015 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARphotographs Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 haha so at least 2 of you are still about, How are you both? Alex are you still running the twin turbo or have you changed up in cars? I sadly never use my camera anymore, just have no motivation for it, Positive though, i did marry Kat last year so thats a good one! (don't really need to presuade her for a change in cars) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found lots of random conversations between me and old friend jay, not spoken to him in a fair few years as he just started blanking me.
