Bye bye Cupra :( ........ but hello......

[Stevo1]

350z

Finally my beloved cupra is going, being replaced with the Z. The cupra has never really put a foot wrong and is the best car ive owned so far. It is so quick for a little hatchback. It feels quicker than the Z and probably is realistically just as quick to about 90. But outright pace is not something I want on UK roads, my purchase was based on "fun". And for that the Z is perfect.

Ive test driven Evo's, Impreza's, a RX8, Monaro and S2000. All have their plusses and minusses but the 350z is just the best all rounder. I pick it up tomorrow morning and can't wait!

I will still browse and post on this forum as it really is a wealth of knowledge with a community that not many other forums have.

Tonight will be a sleepless night.........

looks very good mate. I have spotted a few of these on autotrader going cheap. I am guessing they are imports ami right? and if so whats the deal with warranty etc on an imported 350z

Yeah the cheap ones are imports. I originally decided to get one, but in the end I changed my mind and saved up for a UK spec. You can tell an import as they have square rear numberplates btw. They are more expensive to insure, don't have warranties, have different suspension (unless they are 2004>), don't have cruise control, and some dont have 18" wheels, brembos or other toys. They also have a 112mph JDM Speed limiter. Still, the engines are bulletproof and exactly the same on the JDM Z's, and if at the right price, represent a right bargain

how much u pay.... if u dont mind me asking

 

[Stevo1]

£17k, I got an absolute bargain . UK Car, 52k, GT Pack, Rays lightweight wheels. 2k cheaper than any other ive seen, in that colour especially. I studied autotrader for months though, so I knew when to pounce when a good one came up!

 

[Darth Tater]

Very nice mate

Was v.tempted myself 6 months or so ago but now modding LCR so will keep that a while

Few other guys on here have got Z's I think

 

[Rick-24]

52k..... wat reg is that?

 

[225]

Very nice motors, sound great!

 

[Stevo1]

52k..... wat reg is that?

53 It was owned by an MD so has done a few motorway miles.


And 225, yes, the sound is one of the best things!

 

[cu51pra]

52k your joking right thats alot of miles for 17k

 

[Forbez]

Stunning colour mate! Lovely car!

 

[Stevo1]

52k your joking right thats alot of miles for 17k

??? No it's not. When you look at all the imports with under 20k miles on (half of which have been clocked) for £15k then it might appear so, but it is at least 2k cheaper than any other UK GT spec car. Believe me, I have been checking daily for about 4 months!

 

[Stevo1]

I tell you what, rear wheel drive is seriously fun / scary!

 

[mchubb]

looks very nice, don't see many of those around
