Solehybrid Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 I'm trying to find out the most important factors to buying a car and being a new member I don't know how to do a poll. So what factors do you consider to buying a car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttodhunter Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 Rust. Battery tray, frame rails, floor pans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surpip Posted January 14, 2012 Share Posted January 14, 2012 ^^ All of the above and try to find a car that’s in good condition to start with, spending extra time/ money to buy a decent car is better than getting a fixer upper and it nickel and dimming you to death. (although to some that’s half the fun) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solehybrid Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Interesting replies, I was thinking in the region of such factors like cost/performance/fuel efficiency/reliability etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 Cost: depends on what your're looking for, a project or a runner Performance: again depends on what your looking for, track car or daily Fuel efficiency: please its a 40 sports car. It is very possible to have great mileage but that is probably very few peoples first though Reliability: depends on what your looking at, solid body, strong engine etc. Most people who buy a car on here have plans to mod the thing anyway so its not an issue since they are going to make it reliable themselves. I already got my hands on my projects, so if I were to buy another Z I would want it to be a runner, not have issues, working etc. Although it would be hard not to do minor mods like shocks and bushings etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solehybrid Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well then so far its mainly about condition, a bit of cost and I guess others depending on the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letitsnow Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Are you asking about buying a Z or any car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solehybrid Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Any car really, although if I wanted a specific situation I would probably say for a family scenario just for whats overall better to consider whether it would be cost/performance/repairs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttodhunter Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You are in the wrong place. This forum (all of hybridz) is dedicated to Nissan/Datsun Z cars. You are asking general questions that do not pertain to Z's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
