fletch23 Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 Good afternoon everyone. Having run an import Celica for the past 3 years I think the time has come to change up! I really like the look of the 350z. And now they are starting to fall into my price range. I have no problems with buying an import as the Celica has been fault free and much better than the english models my friends had brought. Fuel costs for the celica were about 320 miles for £65. I don't do a huge amount of miles. Well below the average mileage of most drivers. I never use main dealers for servicing as I feel they are a massive rip off. So I use my faithful old school mechanic who I have used for years. So what I am asking is what are the 350z like to live with everyday? Will I need to sell an kidney to run it? What, if any, are the pitfalls or achilles heal of the car. What do I look for when buying. Thanks in advance for your help. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronzee Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Welcome to the forum. Might cost more to run, but all relative to the power output. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightRacer Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Welcome! I keep my Z running mostly to a weekend. I'm getting a healthy 24MPG at the moment with generally running about. I think a good thrash would take it into single figures though! I too bought a Jap import and am more than happy with it, I did change the clocks over to UK though for proper MPH and computer calculations. Insurance is quite expensive too so worth a consideration. Have a read up as there appears to be quite a few pitfalls, I just took a chance and seem to have got lucky really!
