As for all who recommended the commodores or falcons, i am still seriously considering them, but i kind of want something that is jap also. And thanks Mike
Also i am in no rush to find one, i have a drivable car for the meanwhile, but i am looking at my options. Without sounding like a hipster i dont want something that all p-platers get, i want something unique, but that option is not sounding likely, z32 is like my last option, if not i will start over without the rwd rule.
Hi jimmy, as others have alluded to Zeds do have a habit of costing a bit to keep running. Yes there are some great Zeds out there but also some real clangers. As much as I like to see people driving Zeds as a first car I would say they are a poor choice. Running costs will bleed you dry for fuel let alone any unexpected maintenance costs that come up. A cheap 4 cylinder with the air bags would be a great first car until you get a bit of coin behind you ( I know Zeds are cooler ) as first cars tend to get a bit damaged as part of the learning curve of being young and invincible. Good luck no matter what you choose. Cheers Dave
Certainly is great that you've got a passion driving you towards a 300ZX, but as others have said it's not the best choice for someone looking at a cheap P-plater car. If you're good at saving, give yourself a long-term goal and savings account for a couple of years when you buy the car you want on your opens (ie. get a twin turbo.) Ask for cash instead of presents, dump it in the savings account and add small amounts into the account over time. Not the most exciting way to get into a 300ZX - because obviously this is achieved over a few years not in a few days - but it's the way to make the experience of owning a Z achievable and enjoyable, hopefully for many years. :zlove:
How about a nice BMW series 3 , sporty, rwd, manual if your lucky too find one, and the right amount of zip, PLUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS it has airbags, too keep Mum happy. Not a manual but an idea for you http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2001-BMW...-/291262541883?pt=AU_Cars&hash=item43d099b03b
