japcarsbrett Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) I think you will struggle to find a good 06/07 with that mileage for under £7500. I've just bought another zed after a few years away from one and I looked at quite a few and they were disappointing. Depends how picky you are. In the end I increased my budget and bought an 08 GT 313 and I love it. The bonnet is beautiful and worth the extra spend, in my opinion. Not really they do pop up every so often as i said in my previous posts, i know it won't happen quick but something will come along i don't mind if i get the older 350z as long as it's a good car original and FSH thats what really matter to me Yep don't let me put you off the rev ups mate they are sweet cars :-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Don't worry you haven't I'am still keeping my eye out for them hope one comes along soon Edited February 19, 2014 by japcarsbrett 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r111nxx Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 Good luck. The right one will come along. Now is the best time to buy at least. The prices will go up in summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

japcarsbrett Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Hey guys just seen a really good 350z for sale its blue has GT pack and looks immaculate it has done 62,000 miles 2 owners and FSH, but it's an 04 model when really i'd like the 06 up rev and i think i can get him down to £7000 which is a good buy for that? just wondering what i should do should i wait for an 06 (by the way my budget i have decided to increase to £8000 now ) or should i bite my lip and go for the 04 as the main reason i want the 06 is for the lights front and back the interior and the better clutch and gearbox that's it really, I'm really stuck here lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toon Chris Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 There is nothing wrong with the earlier gearbox IMO. Mines done 155K and is still sweet. You can replace the rear lights for the led versions for about £300-ish so don't let that be a blocker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsybriggs1 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Have you seen this zed for sale it's a bit over budget but you never no your look it's mint http://www.350z-uk.com/index.php?/topic/81748-2006-UK-Azure-350z-%28300-Revup%29 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSet Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) not sure if you can get the headlights anywhere? They come up for sale now and again but are in the region of £350 to £500 per light. You can recoup some of that by selling your original "orange stripe" headlights, but you're still looking at a considerable outlay.

Pete That is a lot of money that's why i think i would wait for an 06 to come along as i'd hate to settle and buy an older one then see an 06 next to me and me say to myself oh damn wish i waited for one now lol.

370Ad Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Mines up for sale mate http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/81802-2004-azure-blue-350z-gt-58k-fsh-sat-nav/#entry1219982 Got some mods on it though, not sure if your looking for that or not!

japcarsbrett Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Nice car you have there and good price hope it will go to a good home. I'm more after a zed that is standard though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ones available on ebay are usually crappy US ones. If you can get the seller to agree £7k or even bit less this is a good price for a mint Azure with that mileage - however make sure you test drive it from cold and pay attention to the changes from 1st to 2nd and in and out of 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the ones i seen are on ebay from america but i have seen them fitted on zeds on here so they do work but i will see what happens i will probably get the nissan ones for the extra money they are gonna be worth it. Thanks for the info that's a big help if i go up to see it i will take it for a test drives and see what the gear changes are like Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
