smokedog Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Looking at 2 Zeds, one 2006 and the other 2007. Been thinking about this for few weeks and still not sure. The main question comes down too, is the 2007 version worth £2k over the 2006 rev? (both similar spec) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Pfff no contest. I would pick the 2006 version and spend £2k on mods. You won't get an extra £2k back when you re-sell and if the quality of them are virtually the same with roughly same milleage then my money would be going on the 06.

Sarnie Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Depends on what you would do with the £2k.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InsanezeD Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Go for the 06 one, I wouldn't give 2k extra for the 07. Get the 06 and spend the 2k on a holiday! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 buy the 06, save the £2k, come to a meet and buy us all a drink and a burger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Drive both and I'm sure you'll know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N1SM0350z Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 Is the 2007 the 309 bhp model which i think came in on 57 plate? if so then as said before drive both and then decide but probably best so stick with 06 and mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matth76 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 In my opinion definitely buy the 2007 model. Worlds apart in performance. The 296bhp 2006 model has less torque and less power and a small few have a risky oil consumption issue. The 2007 "HR" 309 bhp model also responds much better to mods apparently and is generally a much better engine. Keep an eye out for the bump in the bonnet and the two air filters which only the latest 309 bhp model has. Most of the new "HR" models came in late 2007 on a 57 plate with only a small number with a 07 plate. Quite a few 296bhp models were registered in early 2007 and some people try to pass off a 296bhp car on a 2007 plate as a 309bhp version when in fact it has the older engine and add a couple of grand to the sale price, so beware.

RobD7 Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 I'd always buy the latest model personally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M350ZB Posted June 12, 2009 Share Posted June 12, 2009 06 & £2k in the bank +1, or ................. 06, £1K on mods and a £1K on a holiday , also one thing to remember the 06 should be cheaper to tax, and there are a lot lot more mods for the 06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 The 2007 "HR" 309 bhp model also responds much better to mods apparently . Says who? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokedog Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 Well I gone and done it Put my money down for a BMW Z4 3.0si Coupe. I head won over my heart. I drove a 350z and I loved it but the finance side of me told me the smart move would be the Z4. Its a few grand more than I would of paid of the Zed but its seriously well spec'ed. I knew if I would of gone for the Zed I would of wanted 19" Nismo wheels, expensive sat/hi-fi system, pop charger and other mods. So from a finance side I would of spent the same, if not more money, I hope I don't regard it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
