hi thanks for the replies... it looks like i will look at lowish milage imports (less rusty) and definately lwb and definately automatic (lazy) then.... however the guides on here say to bring a friend with them so they do not buy an obvious "dog" so IF i were to take the plunge would i be able to call upon a knowledgeable chaperone from this site:bow: i do not trust dealers having been dicked in the past and would probably plump for a members car.... oh as to the insurance, i have had a company car for 3 years which will soon be gone. if i type in no bonus on the autotrader search i get 2600 pounds. if i can find an insurer to accept my previous 9 years ncb and 3 years incident free motoring i get 420 thanking you in anticipation

hi all firstly let me say what a good site! ok now to business! yes i am seriously thinking of getting one of these supercars as i will be doing little milage soon. for you a few queries. 1 i am losing my company car so have no bonus and am 43 so what is a guess on the dreaded insurance. i have no convictions... 2 i am a competent amateur mechanic with a garage full of idle tools and in 25 years have split and rebuilt more bikes and cars than soft-mick. however the under hood situation looks daunting to say the least. are they reasonably reliable even though they look complicated? 3 the 300zx does not seem to rust or am i being wishful in my thinking? 4 i cannot see the difference between the swb and lwb 2+2:cry: they all look the same. i wish to know IF i take the plunge, which is the best one i can get and how much is it realistically worth? i say this as there seems to be swb/lwb : import/uk : tt/na : manual/auto : tweed/velvet/leather ; targa/hardtop/convertible !!!! thanks for taking the time out to read this and in anticipation opf any comments...
