My 350Z
Based in UK, just bought this 2008, 5000 mile example in mint condition. Colour is called (in the UK) Twilight Grey but it's called anything depending on the sales territory, anyway it's K51.
In the UK we never had the model variants of the US. Just standard and ones with the GT pack. This has the GT pack and factory SatNav. So it has Bose, RAYS, Nav, Leather. I think we always get the highest spec cars over here, but then we pay 30% more for them :-(
Anyway, I love it. I still haven't (after 2 years of driving an Audi Q7 of all things) managed to get a smooth start off, or even a smooth 1st to 2nd change. Digital clutch and rev happy motor, and my autobox bred laziness .....
And the ride is "firm".... ;-)
But I just love it..............

That's my favorite color in Zeds!...I had to settle for an 'O4.5 White Pearl Touring Coupe 'cause the price was right ($20,500)---for an 'O4.5 Z with just 13k on her! Down here, these beaZts are v-e-r-y expensive, due to local duties plus transportation costs from the Mainland to Puerto Rico. I got her in February of 'O8 and, so far it's been a SWEET experience: NO feathering, no oil-consumption, no overheating, no starting issues...Great Sports car! Congrats, dude! (Are they expensive in the U.K., too?! I can imagine...)

Puerto Rican Z and UK prices !!!
Any pics of your Z ? They are expensive in the UK. We never get the option of having base models of anything, so our Z's have everything on them (including side repeaters for indicators and headlamp wash). However My Z when it was new was £31000 which is $51500 !!! Now I'm sure the first owner (who actually was Nissan management) got a deal, but this is way more than anyone else pays (except people in Holland for tax reasons).
Mine's June 08 and only had 5K miles, I paid £19500 or $32400. Makes you cry huh !
However one benefit of the UK... every gas station sells 98 Octane ! And Z's are rare here, so everyone looks at it, and is lost in admiration till they see the Nissan badge when snob appeal takes over... like it's NOT a BMW or Merc or Jaguar..... well I love the fact it isn't.... BMW's for example are so common over here that they outsold ford mondeos for the last few years. ....
Anyway pics of your Z please....
