thedeo24 Posted June 10, 2016 Author Share Posted June 10, 2016 Cheers for the welcome peeps. So, I viewed a Zed today as mentioned. '58 Black, GT Pack, haven't seen the alloys before (5 spoke) but liked the look of them over the Rays. (Probably started a war on here with that comment). 62200 miles on the clock. I text checked it to see if it was legitimate, and all was clear. Few smaller issues, most of them have been covered in previous posts on what to look out for. 1. Boot will not open at all. I have heard that some of them don't unlatch properly so a second press is needed. But this was more switch or wiring as it the mechanism was not working. There was also signs of this being an on going issue. There is a panel between the cabin and the boot, presumably to keep your shopping from flying around the cockpit, but this had been removed and was lying down in the back. I think that this was an attempt to open it from the inside at some point. 2. Inner part of the rear tyres worn, needed replacing. 3. There was a small panel between the bumper and the exhaust that was hanging off. Looked as though it was missing a bolt or had corroded through. I think this is to keep water splashing up into the driveshaft of exhaust. 4. Pads were worn, and discs had a very slight lip. Nothing to serious though. 5. Small amount of surface rust on the passenger rear arch and a very small spot of bubbling. 6. And lastly, the drivers door was slightly sticking out (no signs of damage and no damp though). and the boot lid on the passenger side looked as though it was raised slightly. Is this common. The service history was missing, but on its way as the dealer said they always arrive separately in case they are stolen. All in all, it was a great car and probably worth the £10000 asking price. But I think there might be a deal to be had here if that number comes down a G or 2 Let me know what you think. PS Also had the Orange/Tan/Mustard leather. Thoughts?

MarkSt Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Nice one!! How was the drive home? Did you stop grinning at all? ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeo24 Posted June 15, 2016 Author Share Posted June 15, 2016 The drive home was great. Ive never been so happy to listen to Little Mix, and Radio 1's Drum and Bass show. Epic. Loads to fiddle with on the interior still. Sat Nav and CD player are the only 2 things Ive played with so far. Its a shame the bluetooth wont connect to my S6 Edge though.
