Summary
What does this car say about you?
A proper petrol head. You think outside the box and don't limit yourself to BMW, Audi, Suburu, Merc, etc And that you're rich. Everyone seems to think I'm rich because I own it. Yet they spent £13000 on a Eurobox.
What do your friends / family / neighbours think of the car?
Love it. You get the odd comment about mid life crisis, but hey, just look at their car. It'll be invisible on the road.
Would you buy this car again and why?
Yes. Of all the cars I've owned, the 350Z is the first car I can say I would definitely own again simply because of what you get for what you pay.
What are you likely to buy next?
Possibly a 370Z. Though I really like the look of the S14A.

Buying experience
Type of dealer you bought from?
Independent
Did you buy this car new?
No
What price did you pay?
£8,000
When did you buy the car?
June 2015
Did you get a good deal and why?
Very good deal. The car is mint condition, not even stone chipped. Previous owner cherished it.
Is there any special reason why you bought this car?
Wanted something different from the usual suspects.
What was the dealer like?
Excellent. I've worked in the motor trade and you can't trust any of them, until I met John at TradeCars4U.

Driving it
What's it like to drive?
Lovely. Very smooth power delivery, can be rapid when you want, or a cruiser on the motorway. Precise steering. Great driving position, and comfortable on long journeys.
What's it like to park?
Easy, but also a pain. You're so paranoid someone is going to chuck a trolley into it, the real challenge is finding the safest spot, the furthest away from the store. I went to Asda on the 23rd December. The car park was so packed I gave up and came home. Pot noodles for xmas.

Living with it
Have you had any problems with the car?
Whiny first gear. Dealer had the gear box replaced without an quibble and very quickly. Apologised profusely.
What's most practical about your car?
Nothing. If you're concerned about economy, the planet, moving people or a lot of shopping, look elsewhere. This is a big boys/girls toy.
Favourite gadget, option or accessory?
Bose ICE system. Sound sweet. Electric roof. You can't beat the sound of the 350Z with the roof down.
