Bobbyheinz Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Hey guys, having been searching high and low for a 350z I'm becoming a bit disheartened! I'm looking for either Gun Metal Grey, Black or White (might consider Azzure). Coupe not convertible My budget is 9k I've been to see quite a few and all of them have had pretty major scratches etc Any help would be greatly appreciated…never know if anyone here is thinking about selling I'm in Fife/Dundee and often in Edinburgh and Glasgow. My work takes me all over the UK so will travel if the price is right! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbyheinz Posted November 13, 2011 Author Share Posted November 13, 2011 Thanks for your reply. I have but because I'm so young and not driving too long the cost to insure an import + the added mods makes it way too much Thanks again though!

rtbiscuit Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 shouldn't be difficult to find one in your budget, most of the zeds for sale are under 9k, its worth travelling a bit maybe down south to get exactly what you want. its a buyers market at the moment. so don't settle for something 2nd best to what you actually want.

MidnightRacer Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Don't be put off by the import thing. I have an import and it cost no more to insure than a UK car. There are loads of specialist insurers these days, getting cover is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike89 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 If you are prepared to travel for your car then you should find the right one at the right price. I went to Leeds from Glasgow for mine. I paid a little over the market value because it was pretty low mileage and I was really really precise in the trim I wanted, and it also came with full Nissan service history and a few extras like parking sensors, bluetooth adapter and cargo net which isnt bad to have when trying to re-sell.

Because I'm just turning 21 this month and have 0 no claims bonus my insurance for what will be 2 cars (keeping the old bravo at least until the middle of next year) is around 2500 (yeah I know, painful!). I'm in a fortunate position in that I have a great job especially for my age and because I'm away a fair bit due to it, I still live at home and therefore have no bills to pay So while I know up keep for a Zed will be expensive I'm confident I can easily cover it…however, I'm not in a position to shell out any more for insurance as a one off!

LRF4N Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Mine is still for sale if u haven't found one yet. Under ur budget as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishmanboy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Good luck with your search. I'm in the hunt for a Zed too and all the advice I've had so far is to be fussy and get exactly what you want in terms of spec, milelage, colour etc etc. No point comprimising, it will only tarnish your ownership in the long run I've only been seriously looking for about a week and ive found so many cars that very nearly almost fit what i'm looking for, so I'm confident that in a few weeks the perfect one will pop up at the right price fingers crossed anyhow hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
