Default Little black number needed!

HI guys,

Happy New Year to you all!! I hope you all had a great Chrissy and New Year wherever you were, Oz was great - too hot but still good!

Anyway, I have been looking for what seems like AGES now for a second hand (preferrably expat owned and driven) sports car!!! My heart is set on a Nissan 350z, preferrably black or electric blue, BMW 330ci - same colours, Honda s2000, anything really!!!! Open to suggestions up to Dhs 100,000? I have been driving 4x4's for the last 3 years and until I need one ie; kids etc... I want a fun car!! So if any of you are selling cars or know of anyone selling then please let me know! On the other hand I am selling my baby - 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 Ltd, FSH, Full options, moonstone blue if you know or hear of anyone. Cheers guys. All the best for 2006!!!!

You can get the honda for 100,000 new i could only get him down to 110 but a make friend was offered it for 100,000 warning though it doesnt come with hot weather specifications .....

You'll really struggle to find a 350z for less than 115k.

Honda S2000's are rare on the second hand market and so their value is often inflated.

BMW's I have no idea about but it's a completely different car to the other two. The coupe and cabriolet versions will obviously cost a lot more than the saloon.

Thanks guys, guess I will keep on hunting! have found a couple of 350's for around Dhs 115k so might have to bite the bullet and aim a bit higher, cheers Sassy for your hints on the Honda's - the hot weather tip was crucial!! And desert dweller - thanks for putting a smile on the dial this morning!!

This is actually a very interesting subject, and one that is dear to my heart.
Yes, this is a wikipedia link, yes anyone can edit it... but textbooks will also side with this info.

For those with time to kill and a brain to fill - click here.

Zero not a number??!
What are you, some kind of mid second millennium BC Babylonian??!?

The website under discussion is a wealth of information, topics such as

http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Body_...ion189842.html

How did we ever fill in time at work before the web took over the world?

And how long did it take to get answers to all of these questions?

We could always start a discussion on whether black and white are, in fact, colours.

NooNoo, I haven't heard too many good things about the Honda. It's a sweet looking ride but not many were made as they didn't sell too well and depreciated quickly- i think they were a bit of a knee-jerk reaction to many of the other coupes which were surfacing at the time. A BMW won't give you a true sports car feel like the Z or an Audi TT, Elise etc. Those are my thoughts.

Would steer clear of the Elise, i had one in the UK and the reliabilty was shocking.
Also alot of the body parts are made of plastic and would not last many ME summers!
The lack of refinements can get you down after a while...no electric windows and a boring interior.
Great for track days but not much else.

Im with you on that one.Also,the TT is a great car but is getting old now,its a 7 year old style,no big changes.
As for the BMW 330ci,I love that car,and would buy that one in a heartbeat.
And the Z is a more recent,more sporty,and full of character.
So,if you want more hard and sporty feel,go for the Z,and if you want a bit softer car with all the right curves,330ci is a very sexy mistress.....
