roscopervis Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 After seeing bugger all much in the last two years, they seem to have bred dramatically around this area! Seen a fair few recently! I see you all the time! It's a shame I'm usually in my Leon, but heyho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Think I've only seen about 4 different 350z's in total around here. Seem to go through phases of spotting them and then not spotting one for a few weeks. I've spotted you every day this week driving past my office I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkmatt Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I've been looking since I decided to get a Z and haven't seen any in my local area. I see a shed load of Z4's though which is one of the things that put me off them in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martybhoy Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 Theres a good few around the lanarkshire area. Can see them all in the one day sometimes or not spot any for months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 https://www.howmanyl...cle/nissan_350z According to that there are around 5.5k on the road... Not many at all when you think about it! Peaked at just a handful under 6,000 so just under a 10% drop. I would expect the numbers to drop at an ever accelerating rate in the next few years as A: They'll start becoming uneconomical to keep roadworthy and B: The slightest bump will result in a write off.

CJRamze Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 I see lots, but south Wales seems to be a 350 haven Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NWZ Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 It really does make you wonder how Nissan make a profit seeing how few are listed. I too do a lot of motorway miles and it's vary rare I pass another zed. Same back in 2009 when I had my 350z. Combination of big engine and 2 seats I guess.

JetSet Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) It really does make you wonder how Nissan make a profit seeing how few are listed. They could have sold a lot more but here in the U.K in the period 2003-2006 Nissan limited the number of cars that dealers could have. I was quoted 3 months waiting back in January 2006. Most of the production went to The States , around 160,000 units sold and the Japanese domestic market. I think Nissans profit on the 350Z comes from selling spare parts . Audi did a similar thing with the original TT, 3-4 month long waiting lists, they wanted to keep the cars exclusive and keep 2nd hand prices high, at least that's what the Audi dealer told me.

coldel Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 See quite a few in Richmond - grey 370z in the mornings going past the station, blue 350z roadster with DAN or something on the number plate, two black 350z's parked a couple of streets away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
