Hi all, iv joined to the club as iam seriously looking buying myself a new toy. I am just doing some research at the mo into the running cost etc of 300zx, iv loved them for many years and now at the age when the insurance isnt to bad. I have had many performance cars in the past but never had a 3L V6 NA, not alone a 3L V6 Twin trubo :w00t: :yes::.
iv seen them up for sale for about £1500, but for that price i will assume that its bottom end of the market?
Iam looking at spending closer to £3000. Or have reduced that much in price as most people cant afford to run them, with the current price of petrol?
Iv been using the search engine and read a few threads. Just have a few questions, with sensible daily drive to work i could exspect about 20-22mpg? But then at the weekend i would be having a little fun when possible and that would go down to 18mpg? Or even else than that?
PS is there anyone on here from the norwich norfolk area?
Are they reliable, i had a friend who owned one, then six months later the bottom end went!! I assume its the normal the words come to mind, service history, service history and service history!
Just read you post again, 26mpg on a eco test, thats alomst the same what i get with my lexus is200. I norm get 22mpg with normal driving and when iv done the same thing to see how economical i can be i got 26mpg aswell. Good to know that i would be using roughly the same amount of fuel aswell, apart from when i go out for a bit of fun.
