treeroy Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Hi. I have always wanted a sunset orange 350Z since they launched when I was a kid. I had a poster of one on my wall and I had a toy one in this colour that I played with for hours. Now I've grown up and can afford a full size one, I'm on the hunt for: orange, coupe, manual 350Z. It seems like there are very few orange cars around, was it just not a popular colour? All the marketing with the car was in this shade so I expected there to be more around. I've had my eye on ebay over the past few months while I've been saving money and only seems to be a couple around at any one time. Am I right in thinking this colour was discontinued upon the HR launch? HR cars in orange look much brighter / more matte. Also how can I tell between an original DE and a "rev up" i think it's called? I have read through the buying guides but any other comments/suggestions welcome!

ShortPaul Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Hi and welcome,not sure when the colour in question was discontinued. However the rev up 350z was 2006/2007 I believe,hope this helps, good luck with your search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah that looks like a very tidy car indeed, unfortunately it's out of my budget of £8k. I should be able to get a tidy car for this budget, just theres so few orange cars that I may have to have some patience... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 (edited) What’s wrong with this one thats for sale on here ? I know it’s above budget but believe me you can buy a cheaper car and lose a grand overnight fixing it. I would raise your budget and make an offer here if it were me. PS I don’t even know the seller , just my advice Edited September 11, 2023 by Payco 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
