brummybird Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi Everyone, I would just like to say hello. I decided last week that my next car would be a 350z as I am saying goodbye to the company car. I started browsing this forum for tips to look for when buying a 350 and now I am really hooked on the car. I want to get one in the next few weeks hopefully Thanks for the tips I have read so far!!

brummybird Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 Welcome to the forum What colour you looking for then? Hi Jay, I am after metallic orange (or is it sunburnt orange not sure...) with matching interior. Not sure if thats my girly hat or me just being picky I have not seen an orange one up close yet but it looks good on pictures I have seen on the net. My hubby thinks it horrible but then he wont be driving it Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MITZ@CougarStore Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Welcome to the forum... Have a word with Steve (sunset350z) as he was in the market for a Sunset recently, he's since found one, so he'll be able to help with others that he's seen...

Ebized Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 .....desperate to get rid of my honda diesel.... Understanable, but on the other hand we know they can be peddled along quite quickly after Karen and Ricky had to bring theirs to the Hoon drive out last year at the last minute after a truck had run over the front end of their ZED on starting out on their journey north. Welcome to the forum and be prepared for a real driving treat when you get a ZED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nixy Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Hi Lindsey I'm guessing its a sunset you're after - not the rare temper orange? Lovely colour but then i'm biased.......... Good luck in the search. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Lindsey. You've got good taste The Sunset orange is a fabulous colour on a Z What budget have you in mind? UK Z or an import? Mileage? My personal opinion would be to go for a UK GT car, and as long as it has a full service history, and it looks well cared for, then the mileage isn't that important. I viewed a 2005 '05plate' with 72000 miles on the clock in great condition for 11,350 quid. I dropped him down to 10,600!! I think its still for sale! Decided to go for a late '54plate' in the end for 8,500 quid, although it had 80,000 miles on the clock. The car was serviced every 9,000 miles without fail. The car runs faultlessly Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunset350z Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Actually there's one on ebay right now 54 plate with 70,000 miles and a buy it now of 8.5k bugger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Welcome to the forum Lyndsey from another Sprinklette. I have not seen an orange one up close yet but it looks good on pictures I have seen on the net. My hubby thinks it horrible but then he wont be driving it Just remind him it's horrible when you've found one, and he's had a drive or two, so you don't have to share the keys.

I do about 20000 miles a year so I was hoping to go low mileage but I dont really want to spend more that £12500. I am looking at this at the moment: http://users.autoexposure.co.uk/vehicle.cfm?Account=AETA14316&Style=2&Id=AETV65405677&Image=http://imageserver.autoexposure.co.uk/autoedit/AETA14316/AETV65405677_1a.jpg Appart from some of the photos have some dodgy lighting I was hoping to pop up next weekend and look at it in more detail. What do you think about it's spec and price? I will also take a gander round ebay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
