nrenz123 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hello everyone my name is Nathan. Having owned for 3 years (and spent a fortune) on my fiat coupe the time has come to buy some thing a bit newer. I really do love my coupe but it is 11 years old now and the time has come to stop plowing money into her and move on. My coupe was modified to around 290 BHP and over the 3 years of ownership if dont even want to think how much i spent going from; This: To this: I'm in the process of selling her at the moment, but i hope to have a Z in the next few weeks. I have around 10K to spend on a 350Z preferably in Grey or black with the GT pack. I'm buying the car on finance so it is going to have to come from a Trader/Dealer unfortunately. I've had a read of the buyers guide and there is lots of good information there which will help me in my search for a newer more relaible car! I was an active member of the Fiat Coupe Club Uk, attending meets and local events and hope to do the same here! Cheers Nath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lexx Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 You dont see too many Fiat Coupes around, especially modified ones. Just as an idea, could you not get a bank loan raterh than finance? Better APR's, and means you can choose a privately sold car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to do it via a bank loan mate, but to be honest im struggling to find a lender. I've got an offerat a pretty rate that i am happy with and can afford so im just trying to find a nice UK car now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOracle Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Hi Nathan Nice Coupe I used to own one myself and occasionally frequented the coupe forum. I loved mine and was very sad to let it go, especially when I traded it in gainst a Clio 182 The 350Z is very different to the coupe but I'm sure you will love it when you find a good example, plus, this forum is better than the coupe one Good luck with the hunt!!

S1 HNK Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Good luck with the search, was always a big fan of the coupe turbos, you certianly wont be dissapointed with the Zed but after a 290bhp fiat coupe it wont feel anywhere near as quick!

Stew Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Good luck with the search, was always a big fan of the coupe turbos, you certianly wont be dissapointed with the Zed but after a 290bhp fiat coupe it wont feel anywhere near as quick! Except the power will be going through the correct wheels! Your Coupe looks rather nice. along to this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmarky Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 to the forums bud. Nice example of a Fiat Coupe you have there, my mate has a modified one and i must say they are very quick for what they are. You will find Zed isnt as fast as what your used too but i guarantee it will put a bigger smile on your face driving it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budge Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Nathan, Welcome from another newbie. Are those pics taken on a military base/Air base? it's looks familiar. Nice coupe by the way, nearly got one myself when they were new. Budge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swarfmonkey Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hi Nathan, Judging by your pictures I think I live pretty close to you (the other side of the fence). I've had my Z since December and it really is a hoot. Buy a good 'un and you'll not regret it. The only problem is deciding where to start tinkering.
