morry100 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I am new here but a friend advised that this was the place to ask all things ' Z ' related I figured I would give it a go! Looking for some advice - been trying to narrow down my shortlist for my next car and its basically came out at an S2000 or a 350Z (bear with me on this as I know they are quite different in their approach). I have spotted the following car: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2413236.htm It appears to be a good 3k cheaper than the equivalent vehicle for its year/spec etc - what do you all think? Is it something to do with the colour (poorer residuals/not as popular/hard to sell on?). All replies greatly appreciated. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hi and welcome to the forum, that car does look very cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vik54 Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Its a cracking deal...not too cheap to be a wrong'un - but would still go over with fine tooth comb - service history etc - prolly find it needs new tyres and pads or something like that...welcome to the forum BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ebized Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Welcome to the forum That temper orange 309bhp is cheap and if it all checks out would be excellent value. A colour that is rare but 'rice or nice' - and maybe why dealers price it low as the colour is way removed from their safe shades of grey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Welcome AFAIK there is only one other Temper Orange on the forum and that's HelimedDaz oop norfffff in Yorkshire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Looks a great price if all checks out mate. Read the common faults on here and check perishable items like tyres and brakes etc Temper Orange..... they're great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morry100 Posted February 1, 2011 Author Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hi guys, Thanks for the welcome and the advice so far As an alternative and mainly because these two vehicles are significantly closer to me (Edinburgh) how about the following: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2164029.htm http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2164040.htm Significantly more expensive - presumably paying for the reassurance of buying from a main dealer - worth the extra 3k however? Can I also ask, S2000's (which is my other favourite) are in general exceptionally reliable - is the 350Z as good/nearly as good (assuming its been taken care of?). Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I love the second one, quite a rare colour on here. I would say that the zed is very reliable, there are a few minor niggles but they can be sorted out pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATTAK Z Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2164040.htm now that's a nice car ..... I'd like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
