Spot on, cheers. As soon as I pick up the motor and need something doing I will be in touch.

Is it CS motors of Lutterworth. Cheers for the fast response!

Evening all,

As I will be picking up the zed next week all being well I though I may as well try get some tips on where she should be taken for servicing, mot's etc. I live in Loughborough so not so far from leicester, derby or Nottingham. Anyone live around here with a zed and anywhere you would reconend or avoid?

Cheers

Ok, I have now put a deposit down on my first zed, she's seems to me to be a great machine!! Cheers Dalos. Can't wait for another long old trip up north to go pick her up. I'm sure I will have another 1500 questions as a new owner

Cheers guys,

Yeah it really does seem to be a buyers market at the minute, I am keeping my eyes peeled!! My current cars (I'm not going to embrace myself by declaring my current ride) gearbox has failed, well a bearing seems to have gone it drives but makes so right noise, so currently got no transport to go view until next weekend when I will be renting a car to go have a look at a couple.

I'm searching Gumtree, Autotrader, eBay & pistonheads at the min, does anyone know of any other websites to keep an eye on?

Where did you find her? Was it a private sale?

Is the classified section on here any good?

Sorry mate,

Ha I should look a little closer!!

Nice, I am starting to swing towards an earlier model than the '06 now for tax reductions. What's the reliability like in general for these motors? What in people's opinions is an avarge yearly spend? Taking insurance tax and fuel out of the equation.

Did the earlier models still have the option for sat nav? I'm asking as I am guessing if so I may still find one in my quest to find a clean example.

Z Hopeful,

How long have you had your 05 GT for? How's she running? what extra's are with the GT at that age?

Cheers guys,

What do you think I should be looking at with the above budget? Is a top quality 2006/7 gt possible?

Afternoon all,

Looking at purchasing my first zed, and looking for a little advice. I really want a 2006/2007 GT - I have a budget of around £8-9,000. Do you think this is achievable to get something reasonable?

How much would you put away for general maintenance?

How much does a year’s tax cost?

I have read a lot on the fuel consumption, I will be using the car as my main mode of transport and probably do no more than 5 miles Mon - Friday each day and 200miles every other weekend. 190 of the 200miles is strait up the M1. Will most of this be running at 24MPG or less?

Really keen on getting one really soon, in the next couple of weeks as my current motor has pretty much died on its wheels. Anyone seen any zeds worth checking out online?

Cheers guys
