Bluerat Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hey all I only recently bought a Zed from Philtheforce and my story of unluckyness has been documented here: viewtopic.php?f=9&t=25979&p=377744#p377744 Anyway i found a job but had to take a 50% pay cut and am struggling to afford the car. I also now travel double the distance that i did to get to work so you can imagine my new petrol costs :-( Anyway i was wondering if anyone is interested in buying it off me? The details are pretty much here viewtopic.php?p=369028#p369028 I have serviced it, got a uk service book, repainted the front bumper(you can see the paint flaking in the link above, put 6 months tax on it, buffed out some of the scratches, added a frequency expander to the radio, put 2 new rear tyres on it, it now has around 10mnths MOT and i have put around 2k miles on it. If anyone is interested or wants more details PM me, ive put just over £1.2k into it so im looking for around the £9.1k mark. You guys think thats about fair or not? I'd probably put it at £9.3K on auto trader but id rather it went to someone on here as its a great car! Am really not happy about selling it but tough times call for tough measures i guess. Instead im having to go get something like an old mk2 MR2 which will never be as good :-(. Ill probably pick one up again tbh when i get back up the corporate ladder but that may take some time. Thanks to everyone for all their advice, its been a great site and i learnt a lot by being on here! Bluerat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D13vyl Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hi Bluerat I was sorry to read ur misfortune, knowing ur losing ur job and having to part with the zed must be soul destroying.

Bluerat Posted December 2, 2009 Author Share Posted December 2, 2009 Thanks D I did manage to get a decent job but it may be a while before I get back up to the wage i was on which is why i have to sell up. Ill definately be back at some stage in the future, only question is when :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D13vyl Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 No Problem bluerat, The country at the moment is dire and it seems at times no one gives a toss, employers tend now to make u feel ever so grateful u have a job, the whole thing sucks. Just be cool and when the dust settles ull be zedding again D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikewales Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Bluerat: I'm PMing you with a few questions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjo83 Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Hi Bluerat. Sorry to hear about what happened. The same thing very nearly happened to me but they offered me a transfer at the last minute. Like the others said, try and keep the faith (sorry that sounds corny) but things will pick up eventually. I dont want to seem insensitive at all but is the car still for sale? I'm quite a way from you but it looks like a stunning car and I'd definately be interested.

Joey A Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Hey sorry to hear about your trouble's. I was looking to buy one in a few month as my insurance should come down, but looks like you need rid of it quick. Still for sale?? EDIT: Just spoke to my insurance company to see if i could swap this for my current car and they said I need to be over 25! **** take when I paid 1300 for the insurance which only has 5 months left! and I've been quoted £1400 on a zed for when my insurance does run out! Well thats my dreams out the window, will have to wait a few more months!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
