IlkanZX

Hey guys, extremely grateful for the replies. I've yet to be on such a friendly, welcoming forum. Gurteen: Cheers mate, I hope I can find one that is well looked after. And I agree, they are all great cars! Joely: Thanks bro, thanks for all the info it's really helpful. I saw a few Jap models on the web and didn't bother to contact the owners. Would rather deal with a UK model car. I wish I had a friend that could help with the diagnostics, I may have to ask around to find one of those haha. Also, I truly hope that I find a car that doesn't cause me problems in the near future, maybe half way through next year I'll be able to deal with such problems or even do up the car to prevent such problems.

Thank you so much for your reponse man! So £3k may be more then average? That is good to know man, if I manage to get one for £2k maybe I can enhance the cars performance or spend £1k on restoring it a bit so mileage won't be such a problem. Would you mind if I asked how much the rebuild cost? Also, how was the car before the rebuild? Again man, I would like to thank you for your reply, it makes me that much more anxious to get the car lol!

Hey everyone, just like to say it's nice to be part of the forum and the reason I have signed up is because I am hoping to own a ZX within the next 3-5 weeks! Previously owned a e46 330ci, was a decent car but just wasn't doing it for me anymore. Always had my eye on the Z, it is a handsome brute with fantastic performance. I would just like your opinions on a few things. I plan to spend about £3000 for a Z, I've looked around autotrader and have managed to find some fairly decent looking ones. However, most of the cars I have found had a vicious amount of mileage on the clock and I am not convinced that it is the original mileage. Of course, I asked for FSH but none of the owners could provide me with any. I had found a few cars with genuine miles, but with 90k+ on the clock, how do you think these cars will fair out? Do any of you have a Z with that kind of mileage and if so how does it drive? I am desperate for a Z and will not be satisfied until I have one, any advice would be appreciated!
