350z Opinions?

[Zak33]

tyres.....lets get this straight.

you want a £25k sports car, prolly pushing out about 250 to 300bhp

and you are worried about tyre life?

they should last a while

[CocoPops]

lol, cheers zakky.

where do I sign.

I was comparing the monaro tyres to say 350z/S2000 tyre life, not the clio

[Zak33]

ooooh......why not spend £10k and stop fretting over running costs.

If you spend £25k you're gonna lose more on depreciation than on tyres

BUT a Honda S2000 will use the least. It has less low down power, is totally tractable in daily driving with zero wheel,spin and is therefore the cheapest tyre eater.

Honda NSX. £20k for some mint looking ones, according to one of the mags I was reading this lunchtime they'll do 150,000 miles easy and don't cost a lot to run. Why sod about? Get a proper supercar.

[CocoPops]

hmmmm, too many decisions......

someone's mentioned 2000 W/X plated Boxster S for £21-£25k

[Butuz]

IMHO - Boxter's are ghey hairdresser "pretend porsche's"

Not saying they aint good cars, just have a horrific image and i wouldnt be seen dead in one

I would also never buy a new/nearly new car - i can not see the point of spending 25k on a car and losing 10k in 3 years - my moneys worth much more than my pride at having a new car

Supra 3.0 Twin Turbo would be pefect for you Coco - spacious inside, rocketship in a straight line and onto 170 odd if you get em delimited. Spend 15k on a mint low milage one, and youve got 10k left to pay for insurance and running costs for 3 years. You can also mod straight off if you fancy playing with the speed or handling, which you cant do with a new 350z without losing your 3 year warranty (the _only_ plus point about buying a new car)

ok....time to stop cocking about really

thread closed

[TiG]

If this is going to be your last "fun" car then i'm defintely with the buy something for 10-15K and spend the rest on running it. Brings into the market for some real nice cars for fun purposes only. TVR Chimera 4litre..?

[5lab]

for that money, how about an m3 coupe?

[Moby-Dick]

If I had that kind of money spare then I'd be seriously considering a porsche 928

[Zak33]

you and your 8 pots

There are some SUPERB 968's around for under£15k the later, better verson of the 944.

£15k buys a LOT of car
