Someone was daft enough to give me finance on a Z!


Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

Recently managed to sell my Accord Type-S and wangle the finance to buy a 350z for just a bit more each month that I was paying for the Honda. Didn't think it would be possible but hey. After wanting one for 3 years I've now got a 2004 GT in silver with 35,000 miles on it. Car has been looked after by Arnold Clark since new, so I've booked it in for it's P4 (££Â£) with Nissan.

 

It seems in good condition, although I've only test driven one other Z years ago so can only assume it's driving ok. It doesn't have any of the common problems like the rear axle clicking, but does rumble a bit when accelerating from the biting point. I'm thinking the clutch may need replacing, so I'm considering aftermarket clutch and flywheel. Even though I don't really know what this will achieve, I have an urge to mod. . .

 

Anyways, look forward to speaking to you all soon in various forums.

 

ps I'll update my signature soon. Introduction is a bit rushed.

A couple of pics, just for passing interest. Nothing done to it yet (apart from chromed grille) but thinking of V1 front lip, and Nismo rear skirt. When I get any mods done I'll get some enthusiastic pics taken with clever angles. Think my camera work below is very Autotrader :yawn:

What price did you pay mate???

 

I paid 17.5k. I know it would be cheaper to buy privately but trader was a neccessary evil. Only way I could wangle the funds. Car had all the stuff I wanted as well, including the GT pack and black leather seats with orange stitching B) Would have preferred gun metal but hey.

I agree, the aerial's a bit long, not keen on it either. Photos are as bought though. When I post more pics in 6 months or so it will be a very different car. . . ;)
