snowy87 Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Hi Lee, you must be a similar age to me, I too had an early Z but mine was the 260Z +2. What are they worth now!!! I have had my 370Z GT Edition for just over a year. It is a 2012 but has only covered 7000 miles from new. I love every minute of driving it. The only mods I have are the ARK Stainless Steel exhaust and the K&N Air filter system. She is black and looks amazing when it is clean but unfortunately the gleam doesn't last long because it soon gets dirty again as I drive it to and from work 4 times a week. There are plenty of people on here that will give you advice on what to look for when purchasing one of these gems. I hope you enjoy your new purchase. All the best.

Now back to the original post I can remember rocking around in a mk2 2000 that's around the same eara as the 240z s I must be getting old as well, junever mind we probably had the best years on the road, no police helicopter, no safety cameras, no mobile safety camera vans just a copper on the side of the road with a torch and they were always hard to spot, if you were travelling at a little over 30 mph 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The two seats in the back were like little bucket seats really only suitable for kids or small people. Edited July 10, 2019 by Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nissanman312 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Welcome along Things to look for is the steering lock recall. and ask if gallery gaskets have been done on pre 2011 or at very least get the oil pressure checked a little search on here will turn up threads of these issues Enjoy whatever you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
