Synx Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Hi, I am looking to own my very first 350z. I have been dreaming of owning one for years now and I feel now is the correct time to get one as a 2nd car. (well my car and the misses can have the A4) I would prefer the lower tax version, with heated seats and good sound system!!? (is it worth it? are the speakers better? Is the sub any good?) No crazy body kits or anything mental like that Give me a shout if you have one for around £7500 or less? Also any rough ideas on insurance for a 30year old 8 years+ no claims 2nd car? Cheers Stephen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Welcome along...good luck finding the zed you are after. If you have a look around the forum I'm sure you will find what you are after regarding the sound system. If its a UK zed and not an import then the majority of them have all that anyways.

Mikevv Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I'd say insurance will be £500 max, but don't quote me on that - this is based on the fact I'm 21 with 1 years NCB and costs around £1300, dropping to near £900 in a few months due to being 22 and 2 years NCB The Bose system is very good, although it does have a few niggles with skipping occasionally with age Any preference on colours? What sort of mileage? Check the "Zeds for sale" section on the forum, there's always a few nice ones in there, and you get peace of mind knowing it's been owned by an enthusiast and well looked after. That sort of money will get you a VERY tidy pre facelift car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilside z Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The very best with your search. Don't worry too much about the sound system and certainly don't let it be a deal breaker, as most of them part out theirs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synx Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Cheers for the reply's. Another quick question. Is it worth going for an older zed with new clutch or one with say 45k on the clock that may need ones soon?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeppoJeff Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Cheers for the reply's. Another quick question. Is it worth going for an older zed with new clutch or one with say 45k on the clock that may need ones soon?? All depends really. I mean mine is at 46k miles and if i gun it and pop out the clutch it can slip quite a bit so I'm planning on changing mine soon. Some other people are still on there clutch from factory and sitting at almost 100k miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I sound like a stuck record but dont get hung up on mileage, buy on condition not miles, if it hasnt had a clutch at least budget for one at some point. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barkerm87 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Got mine 2005 with 77k on the clock a week later had do buy a clutch (don't forget it will need a new flywheel too ideally) and wheels aligned and the front lower bushes had gone (common problem). As with above mileage shouldn't be a deal-breaker. Speak to the owner and look at service history. The boss system is a bit naff IMO. I was underwhelmed.

ZEUS Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 My Zeds on 113k and the original clutch so they don't always go early. Just do your checks on it when you view one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synx Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thanks everyone. So much to consider as with buying every car. I'm trying to be patient and not rush out and buy the first one I see.
