rog518 Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Hi everyone, Need some advice,I have finally persuaded a client of mine to part with his zed which is great as have been chasing him for 6mths! He has said he needs to mot and tax it then Im welcome to test drive and talk money with him. Problem is it has not moved off his drive for at least 4mths maybe more and after the cold winter we have had is there any major problems I should be aware of when I check it over? I'm thinking pitted discs due to rust,battery probs etc? Its on a private plate but think its 2003/2004 gt. Many thanks Quote
mc Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised if it won't move at all due to the rust build up on the discs, mine stick after its been raining overnight! Quote
Ian Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 I've left mine for months at a time with no problems Its just back on the road after 3months parked up outside & apart from the battery losing charge it was fine Quote
Sarnie Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Tyres would be a concern for me after the -10 we had for long periods.............. Quote
rog518 Posted March 18, 2010 Author Posted March 18, 2010 Ok thanks, It could be fine but thought I would ask just in case. Im sure he will find out when he takes it for the mot! Cant wait to give it a loving home! He asked me to make an offer what do you think would be a reasonable starting bid? Bodywork is clean,full gt pack,I think the rays are starting to go but apart from all good got 20k on the clock! Quote
stanski Posted March 18, 2010 Posted March 18, 2010 Should be fine but crawl underneath and check te exhaust fittings may have some surface rust? Tyres as stated if they have dropped in pressure but should be ok really. Suggest you might check the discs they will be pitted with rain dancing off it but again see hoe bad they are - might be ok after a run. If hey are welded on suggest you rock car very gently they will release eventually. Pricewise look at link sent by Mike re Glasses guide prices. You might be able to get it slightly cheaper as it's been stood ? Get some pictures if you can? Quote
bronzee Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Also factor into that it could probably do with a service after sitting for so long. Quote
Chris`I Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 Also factor into that it could probably do with a service after sitting for so long. Would definately service it just to make sure all the fluids are good Quote
