Put deposit down on a 350Z yesterday
Travelled 200 miles round trip to look at one in kuro black, 54 plate with GT pack - Rays, black leather, cruise, Bose stereo. Car had 1 owner from new and covered only 14.7k miles in 2 years. P2 service had been carried out a month ago.
Did the deal but insisted on them changing the rear tyres as they had only a few months life left in them.
Going to pick it up next Saturday. Can't wait

Enjoy Mines going to have to stay on the garage if it snows, but at the moment I'm enjoying the tail wagging action 
Great fun car to drive despite its weight. Enjoying every minute of it.

Enjoy it. Best car I've had. I might even have another, unless a T25 or new M3 lure me in ~They look and drive great. And it will keep up with most cars even Scoobies and M3's.
I'd have loved an Sti6 though!! My Scoob was MY99WR

I had one on test drive, we nicknamed it the "zzz" and the power was nice.
The looks were not though, like a poor mans Audi TT. People were looking at me, but for all the wrong reasons!
I took it back and didnt look back. Painted nice black lines on the tarmac though

I came so close to getting one of these when they first came out. Couldn't find a dealer who would do a sensible trade-in deal so walked away. If you can live with the boot they are a cracking car. Good residuals too.

Read my first post Davy - I tested a number of cars including the 350Z and decided on an R32 Golf.
Both have big block N/A sixes.
Or are you going to have yet another dig?
Yawn.

Top car, top colour
It'll be like this one then:
I've never looked back since selling the Scoob. I'm sure you'll find it so much easier to live with. I get cheaper insurance, more MPG - and of course it looks and goes soooooo well
Take a look here for a decent 350 forum: 350z UK - Forum, Owners Club, News, Gallery, Events, and More...
Enjoy

Already on that forum + another 
Going to take Friday off work and pick it up then.
Sold my Scoob last January. Been in a banger diesel since then which "died" in October. Peddle power to work since October so I feel like I deserve something nice again.

PS - Too heavy too be a sports car? It's meant to be a GT.
