Hi Guys

I'm looking to buy a 10 year old 300ZX TT and wonder what advantages there are of getting a Jap spec import over a UK model. So far I've only come across negative aspects such as;

more expensive to insure

more expensive to buy spares as Nissan put on a surcharge

280 bhp as oppose to 300 bhp (what are the mechanical differences which cause this difference in power?)

Cloth seats instead of leather

 

Is the above true or have I been miss-informed?

 

Imports do however, seem a bit cheaper to buy.

 

Thanks

 

Jon

 

Hello Jon,

Jon that list is a little incorrect! Imports can have leather too. Autos have 280bhp and manuals 300bhp its nothing to do with being an import. Spares are no more expensive for an import as you get spare for all 300's from Courtesy Nissan in the US and save mega £££s. However insurance is more expensive, Tescos are still cheapest. Check out the buyers guide for the trim and other differences.

Not sure that Tesco are the cheapest anymore, try www.lifesure.co.uk - about £140 cheaper than Admiral for me and that is impressive.

Thanks for the info, very helpful.
