Gtr dilemma....

[M3isy]

Hi everyone, I need a bit of advice and opinions from fellow petrol heads. I am fortunate enough to be able to put down £35k on a car. After tinkering with evos and m3's for the past 5 years I've decided I want a used Nissan Gtr. I'm 30 years old and feel as though this is the right age or last time to buy something silly and from 35 on il need to get something a bit more sensible - Audi diesel?? Lol
What would you do or have done if in same situation?

Thanks

Lol thanks guys il get it done. Just needed that little push and you are right age should never be an issue when it comes to petrolheadism -is that a word?

Servicing is not too much of an issue I serviced my evo 8 every 3k from a guy in Chester and my e46 m3 was serviced by BMW incl an inspection 2 which was just shy of a grand at one point. The novelty of BMW servicing soon wore off when the car reached 5 years old and there were many decent independents about. The gearbox issue is something to seriously consider though.

One thing I will not do is neglect the car and scrimp on servicing maintenance. In an ideal world I would like to buy a car that's just been serviced, has new tyres and discs all round and a new gearbox thrown in for good measure. Unfortunately buying second hand I know that's not going to happen so I can only hope for the best and if the car turns out to be a lemon il just concentrate on getting it right.

What colour did you go for? I personally prefer them in black but that's just my opinion.
