D8NMT Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Hi Guys, I've just joined the forum as I am on the lookout for a 350Z. I currently own a Honda S2000, it's been a fantastic car and I love it to bits. But I feel its time to move on to a new project! So i'm looking for a 350Z, here are my requirements: Up to a 2006 (before the high tax bracket) Hardtop Mileage ideally below 70K A few mods like coilovers and exhaust would be a bonus (but not necessary) Very good condition My S2000 will be going on pistonheads this weekend, but I also thought i'd put it up here incase anyone is interested in a part exchange (cash your way). A few details about my S2000: Year 2000 Mileage - 88,000 The car is in good condition for the year, I have lots of service history and the car has been maintained to the highest standard. It has 18" OZ ultraleggera lightweight alloy wheels, lowered on new standard shocks and RSR TI2000 springs. Red leather seats, and red carpets. I value the car at around £5.5K I have up to £3K cash to put towards the right zed. My car will be on pistonheads shortly with a much more detailed advert. If you are interested in a part exchange, or require more details about my car please contact me at dan.metcalfe.mobile@gmail.com Alternatively, if you have a zed for sale that meets my criteria please let me know. I would much rather buy from a forum member :-) Thanks Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gudzy Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Have a look at this thread as his car has a few nice mods, even if it is only a speculative thread rather than a for sale: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=63035 Doesn't look like he'd be interested in an s2k though.

rtbiscuit Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 great cars the S2k i'd actually rate it as a better drive than the 350z but don't tell the others. i ended up swapping the other way a while back. went from zed to S2K best move i ever made. my advice is if you love the S2K make sure you've fully test driven the zed before you commit.

Ricey Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 I suppose your valuation is right with the year and millage but that looks more than 5500 to the outside world.......lovely car mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sasha@lazytrips Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I may well be looking to sell in the next few weeks. Mine ticks all your boxes except mileage (I've personally done a lot of motorway miles to/from work). Black '04 plate UK GT zed with Rota GTR wheels, good tyres (new fronts going on tomorrow, rears recently changed), all the standard minor bits & bobs (braided lines, Ferodo pads, DBA grooved discs, panel filter, some nice red nuts + a brand new custom stainless steel true dual exhaust) + a very rare and expensive original Do-Luck rear bumper with a floor spoiler. I'll be putting up a full for sale thread in the next few weeks once I decide on price, etc, but thought I'd put up some initial info here.
