Jayroge Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hi guys I am currently living in Sydney but will be back home to Liverpool in April/May, and want to buy a 350 so badly My previous 2 cars were an Audi A4, (always wanted one, and made me feel safe on the road again after breaking my back last year after a van took me out while on my motorbike) my car before that was an rx8 which I loved minus it constantly breaking ( power stealing always going, same with ignition coils ) I have always considered getting a 350 as they seem a lot more solid built an reliable than rx8 and seem slightly better on fuel an just as fast if not faster My hunger for another fast fun car to drive has returned, as I miss driving more than anything while here in Australia, I do not like the roads here 1 bit, smash shops being on every corner puts me off completely, I can wait another 3 months All I can think about now is getting home and buying one so it will happen, I am wondering if there is anything to avoid? From reading I am not hearing of any major problems What I am going to go for ideally is a 04 -05 I hear cheaper on road tax an will fit my budget, fsh of course, either black or gunmetal, I think I pref gunmetal, ideally under 100k miles, budget will be about 5k maybe more if needed an a better spec is available. I like the orangey leather interior, built in sat nav always a bonus( any issues with these?) Is there anything else to watch out for that I am missing or anything else to consider? Any info would be great guys Thanks Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vik54 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Jay - you might manage to get a gunmetal with higher mileage for the budget you're looking at. Forget about the sat nav - really not worth it they were crap so unless it is an aftermarket one you're better just budgeting to put your own in Happy hunting 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Having run both an RX and 350 the fuel is at least 4-5 mpg better (which really does make a difference) and its definitely faster......more importantly its faster in a nice lazy way (unless you like thrashing the nuts off a car) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R35LEE Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 along Get the 350 over the RX8 unless you like burning money and oil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
