evening all, as you can tell, i'm new to this forum after being on the sxoc for so long and i need to call on all your combined thoughts as i'm ready to take the plunge and join the delights of nissan ownership!
i had a couple of 200sx's, the last being a 320bhp s14a and i shed a few tears when i had to sell her, and me and the misses have been sharing a 04reg mini cooper s works model (don't laugh, over 200bhp in a mini is a hoot! ) but now that the finance is all paid, its time i can have a car of my own again! woo hoo!
i've been gagging for a 350z ever since my 200sx days as my local nissan parts guy had one in the showroom by his desk and trust me, i spent a lot of time in that place!
as with everything, i know you get what you pay for, but don't want to throw money at one if a slightly older model just as good if that makes any sense. i can't fit as many toys as i did to my old s14a but i'm thinking improved air filter and a stainless exhaust, possibly some tasteful lowering but i have to keep the delicious rays wheels that i beleive only the gt came with? does the 350z respond well to these little tweeks?
what sort of mileage are these cars happily capable of, from experience the 200sx's were all pretty high mileage from all the motorway miles they were intended for.
i realise this is a silly long post, but any advice on buying and what to look for would really help.
thanks so much
