Pudzee Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hi everyone, I'm a total newbie to joining the forum, have searched the forum over the last 12 months while I've been ummmming and arrrrrring as to whether to pull the trigger on the 370Z. I fell in love with the Nissan Fairlady 240Z while living in New Zealand years ago. Finally I'm at that stage of my life where im in my 40's having a mid life and want the 370z Manual GT Edition. I've been searching for the last 6 months and even put an offer in with Jct 17 cars on a GT Edition and was turned down on my offer of 14.5 -15k (that was advertised at 15.5K). however the car sold at that price and ever since then i cant seem to find a GT edition for any less than 17.8 - 20k. So now I'm kicking myself that I didn't pay the asking price!!!!!! I'm wondering if any of you guys on this forum know of anyone selling a Manual GT edition in either the Pearl white or Ebisu Black, (I'm not keen on the Rose black I'm afraid). feel free to drop me a line or comment cheers Pudzee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZMANALEX Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 to the forum. Going by the reviews on J17, I think that you just may have dodged a bullet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pudzee Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 (edited) Ha cheers ZMANALEX "Going by the reviews on J17, I think that you just may have dodged a bullet" I did read a few bad reviews online for J17, but living out in West Wales theres generally nobody in Wales selling any 370Z anywhere close to home. Hence why I thought I'd try this forum. So if anybody knows any quality helpful dealers or private sellers that may be able to help me dodge that bullet that would be much appreciated. thanks in advance Edited March 29, 2018 by Pudzee typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was significantly cheaper than the other Z's they sell - ask yourself why? Was it really for sale at that price or was it just used to draw in buyers?

veeg33 Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Hello and welcome Definitely avoid Junction 17..........you did well there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pudzee Posted March 29, 2018 Author Share Posted March 29, 2018 Ha cheers for the advice everyone. Humpy, sorry mate its the Manual GT Edition im after, failing that a Nismo........... struggling to justify the Nismo so GT Edition it is..........(fingers crossed). One thing that does puzzle me is why some garages state the Pearl white as "a rare colour" from what ive seen it doesnt seem to be a rare colour, what are other peoples views ? cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could just be the sales team making the car sound better. Like they do with accessories/features even though things are pretty standard.

Very happy with the 370 as it constantly getting attention with people coming up to talk about the car etc. If the right offer came in then I wouldn't say no lol https://media.giphy.com/media/3oz8xPjPPvOwrGjip2/giphy.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
