Hi all! Some of you may remember me from some time ago (particularly zx-eyes.. he took me out for a spin in his car!).. Basically, I joined up because I wanted a 300zx in the future, but I'm now in the situation where I can realistically afford one. It's on my list amongst other cars.. I'd be looking for a UK (due to insurance) 300zx twin turbo manual. I have about £5-6k to spend which I think would get me a nice one with money to spare..

 

Anyone fancy taking me for a spin again to sway me towards the 300zx!? :D

What else have you considered?

330ci sport, Mazda RX8, Audi S4, Audi TT to name a few.

The only one I like out of them is the Audi S4.

 

Seems to me your longing after a more modern motor tho?

Yup,5k would get u zx eyes car. Tho its an import, but still the leftover cash will pay the insurance costs.lol

i can convince you in mine, where about in manchester are you? :tt2:

It has to be a UK car.. imports are twice as expensive for me to insure (for some reason), and whilst I could get an import and spend the leftover on insurance, it would be dead money. If I spent the extra on getting a tidy example, at least the money would still be there when I come to sell up (I would say these cars are well past depreciation).

 

Sir Charles - not so much modern.. more something comfy, but with pace. I've always liked the 300zx, and with leather, cruise control, climate control, etc, they tick a lot of the boxes :)

welcome back, have a look at this, sounds just what your after

I'm only going from expierience with my car - but the 300 is fairly harsh on the B roads but very comfortable on the run. Obviously it depends on the suspension etc but I'd pick a 300 over all the above cars if you can live with that.

 

Don't bother with the RX-8 tho very thrashy ride on that!

Yeh - I hear the RX-8 is fairly temperamental.

 

I'm not after a barge when I say comfortable.. I'm used to stripped Renault 5 GT Turbo's, so quite a lot is comfortable compared to these. More just something with air con, leather, etc.

Forgot to mention too - cheers for the link, but I won't be looking at any until I get back from Holiday in July

Then if thats the case you should totally buy a 300! If your used to slammed R5s (like I was with slammed Escort and Fiesta RS turbos back in the day)!

pity as its a very rare color and uk, the car looks perfect, hopefully they will still have it when you get back

insure it as classic...cheap insurance even on a jap import :D

Just a bit south west for me, i was hoping for something up nearer the Bury end of Manchester.

Not to worry, I will keep you mind if my travels take me more southern.

Good look with your search, with the money you have you must be looking at 1995 on. :cool3:
