Trouble is I know I should be sensible here.. I actually ordered the X-trail back in July (it still hasn't arrived yet, original delivery date was mid September!) and it's more economical, cheaper to own over three years by about £3k once you include tax, fuel, insurance and servicing..

..but the big kid in me wants the giant humungous truck

 

Is it not enough that us dudes sacrifice our freedom for women and / or children. If we cant have the occasional thing we want whats the point!!!! 

Out of interest would you go for used or brand new?

What sort of cost we talking about if you dont mind me asking. i'd love one but im sure i cant afford one

Yeah........Wottleshecostya, Mr Aaron?.........

Should I be in the market for a new 'Datsun' I would go the GTR or 240Z route.

....actually the 370Z has a certain 'old school' appeal.

Opti - I love the 370Z, too.. although in an ideal world a fully restored 240Z with LS series V8 would be ideal

Brand new (in both cases), personal contract purchase.. they're both about £30k, although on PCP you're only financing about 50% of that, so about £360/mo..

Utterly ridiculous, but ..

Being an old-fashioned straight six, the 370Z is the spiritual successor to the likes of the Austin Healey and Triumph TR5/6

I'll wager it's far more reliable than anything ancient and British though.

Well, at least you're not walking into a Datsun dealer and plonking £30,000 in cash on the counter.

240/260/270Z were the straight sixes, Opti, everything after that (Z31 300ZX, Z32 300ZX, 350Z and 370Z) are V6

Noooooo.......What is the world coming to.


My mistake.

I still fancy one.

[aaronjb]

I wouldn't say no.. or a GTR, either is fine. Y'know, if you're buying

If Nissan ever decide to do a BOGOF on the GTR.......I'll let you have the spare.

Excellent!
