New to the fourm and looking to buy my first 370z


Recommended Posts

Hello I am new to the forum.

 

 

I am a life long performance car owner and have spent the last 30 years racing cars.

 

My last ten years have been racing in International competitions. (Historic single seat racing cars.)

 

 

I have started looking for a 370z to buy but I am going to need some advice first.

 

 

I don't want to buy new but do have a sensible budget.

 

I need a manual gearbox car, as I plan to do some "Gentleman Drivers" exhibition events in France next year.

 

A 370z is a rare car in France and will really turn some heads!

 

I have a massive disadvantage as I am based on Guernsey so just going to see a car is a complicated exercise.

 

I recently checked out a flight cost to get to Humberside Airport to look at a car. £910.00 for a one way ticket! :wacko:

 

If anyone has any tips on what to look for or where to look to save a wasted trip I would be grateful!

 

 

 

Thanks very much!

Thanks for the welcome,

 

I must admit I am a bit puzzled about the ones I have seen for sale on the "Open market". Second hand 2009/2010 370zs seem to range from £15,000 to £22,000 for what appears to be a similar spec and the only difference is the mileage.

 

I guess I would stretch as far as £20.000 but is the only difference between the £15.000 cars and the £20.000 a bit of mileage on an engine and running gear that will make 100,000 miles without issue?

 

 

Looking at the general spec and Nissans bulletproof reliability, it is a bit confusing. What wears out on these cars? The interior, the mechanicals????

 

 

As far as depreciation goes, would I be better waiting until 2013?

 

 

Any help is really appreciated.
