Newbie - Looking to buy a 350 Z Roadster


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

All roads have lead me to here on my 350Z quest ;)

 

I have been researching the 350z , ownership cost, mpg , boot size, all the practicalities, not sure why , but its what you do right? How did I ever buy anything before the internet...

 

So now researched, googled out and 95% convinced, thinking sod practical get a Roadster after all the suns been out for 2 days B) , I have spotted this one which is pretty close to me, and it has all the toys :thumbs:

Does anyone know this car at all ?

 

Anything i should look out for ... or words of encouragement to take the plunge !

 

Thanks

I keep seeing a sunset roadster near me and I just cannot get on board with the looks when the roof is up, I saw a few at Modified live that had the roof down and they looked very B) though.

 

If you get one just make sure that you never put the roof up :teeth:

:welcome: to the forum. Corrected the 360z in the title :blush:

 

Oops :blush:

 

:As before, Check operation of the hood and try for a discount as the wheels are "standard" Rays and not Volks :lol:

 

Are there known problems with the hoods ?

 

It has manufacturers warranty until September, so with the UK weather... the hood should get a good workout before its out of warranty ;)

 

As for the price.. whats the opinion.. about right .. or about £500-£600 overpriced ?

Ok.. so another day of indecision, and I can't get to look at it till the weekend... but on closer inspection of the photographs... there is a dent in the front :( couple that with the curbed alloys and it looks like it may have been abused.

 

Throw into the mix the new dilemma pointed out by the wife, "with the roof up it doesn't look as nice as the coupe, but with the roof down it looks nice. So it will look nice for 1 week of the year....."

Either I'm blind or I can't see a dent at the front. The bumpers on that model do have a central dippy bit on the lower nose area below the black strips. Also I notice a mark on the drivers side below the headlight, which looks like it could just be reflection. If that helps. Hard to see really, not the best of photos. Mildy curbed alloys isn't a major. Plenty of folk on here have had their alloys refurbed. :)

 

The good thing is your wife is behind you purchasing one, definite bonus. :thumbs:
