So, £5000, am I dreaming or is it possible? :)

 

I'm back in a position, again, for a zed (until something else catches my eye and eats my money)

 

Just wondering if it's a realistic expectation to find a nice one within my budget?

 

Sell me your tidy z :)

i hear you about the auto, certainly is easier if you intend to get stuck in nose to tail traffic. I have sold a couple of superb autos over the past 6 months however I think most of the good folk on this forum would tell you that the manual is the more desirable. but it's all a matter of personal taste. I will be updating the forum on the silver one next. I guarantee there is absolutely nothing that is going to need doing to that car, other than routine servicing, and coating it with a rust preventative (waxoil or similar) to keep it immaculate

Thanks Gazwoz.

 

I was looking at an auto TT as I am a bit of a lazy driver.

Is the manual more desirable than the auto ? Less to go wrong ? Cheaper to buy ? Nicer to drive ? The only reason manual puts me off is sheer amount of traffic everywhere!! ...clutch up, clutch down, clutch up, clutch down...and then My left leg feels tired after blast on the open road because I have had to endure m4 or m25 traffic chaos.

 

As far as my budget goes it is about 5k ...but for a well sorted version I may be able to tip a little bit of the maintenance budget into the buying price if I don't need to spend anything on it for the first year.

 

It needs to be a 2+2 as thats the primary reason I am changing out of my weekend toy, mx5 mk1 eunos roadster. It will mainly used to take the wife and kids out and about with me on sunny days and commuting to work (30miles) a couple of days a week.

 

I eagerly await your stock updates and hopefully we can find something that works for both of us

Most people on the club will say that the manual is more desirable as it is more fun to drive, I am pretty sure the manuals are also less common and from my experience the manuals are more expensive, but if you are going for a car ~£5000 there is probably minimal difference in price.

Obviously the auto is much nicer in traffic and my Dad even said that the shifts were smother than his Jag, but it is sluggish and slow to change.

 

Just weigh up whether you would want a more fun car to drive on the open roads (supposedly), or the comfort of an auto in traffic.

 

2+2s are the most common size in the UK so probably shouldn't be a problem finding one compared to looking for a swb. Some people disagree with me but I'm 6+ft and I will not fit in the back, kids only lol.

If you're going to spend all your time sat on the M25 in traffic, then I wouldn't get a Z32, you might as well get an old Rover automatic or something! :rofl:

Mmmmm....I may be swaying to manual as it is supposed to a fun car to replace my mk1 mx5 which I Rev to 6000. I hoped the auto would be a quick shifter.

 

Many thanks for the advice [emoji106]

I think I have been Jedi mind converted to manual...sorry

I also have a black manuall TT which will be available in about 4 weeks. Totally rust free but was used as a drift car in Japan. I have had a brand new clutch put on along with a new set of tyres and track rod ends. It is now MOT'd but just waiting its turn to have some paint work done to rectify a few blemishes from its track time. It has been race tuned so will be very quick. more info on this one later but I expect the price to be around 5.5k-6k

 

Hi Gaz,

 

Sorry to thread jack, could you get in touch with me about this car? I realise I've only got 0 posts and I don't think I can send PM's but I'm really keen to get a 300ZX (have previously built several Primera track cars and can't get enough of old Nissans!

 

Cheers
