deank93 Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Morning all, I'm on the hunt for a 350 and found this one on auto trader, red usually isn't my colour but have to admit wihen the sun came out yesterday it suddenly became more appealing. Does anyone know it? or better still is anyone near the garage and might have stopped to have a quick look only i live a considerable treck from Manchester and have experience of a dealer telling me a car is mint only to spend a day driving to view and find it is a dog. I'd be interested in people thoughts. Many thanks, Dean. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p Quote
Ebized Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Looks like the Rosso Red of which there are very few. AK350Z has one (do a search on here). Quite a few members around the Manchester area, so you might be lucky Quote
AK350Z Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Hard to belive it won't be a good one, it's barely run in! Anyway, as much as it pains me to say it (good job i'm not selling), its a good deal with all the options, especially if they give you any money off. Check the front with a close eye though, as stone chips are white due to the undercoat and stand out like a sore thumb. FYI, thats only the 4th Rosso i've ever heard about since they started making them, including mine. Rare as hens teeth I tells ya! Quote
Sarnie Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Not that rare: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p Quote
AK350Z Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 make that 5 then! To be honest, I don't spend much time cruising classifieds, especially for a car I've already got. I've probably missed loads! Quote
M13KYF Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 this garage is 2 minutes from me, happy to have a look at the weekend if you want. I have already spotted the car in the showroom when driving past. Looks very nice from passing Quote

Looks very nice from passing If It's no trouble for you that would be great, I'm going to look a one a little more local on Sunday so it would be great to know if It's worth making the trip to view.

Raymondo Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 That's a stunning looking motor! Tell you what I will buy it and you can have the FORD Capri 2.8i Special that they are selling Quote
volumeone Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 i love that colour. its so rare and really looks good on the car. Quote
deank93 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 Not that rare: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p I noticed that one too...looking at spec, milegae and condition it looks a little over priced when compared to the Red one at the dealers. Quote
deank93 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 i love that colour. its so rare and really looks good on the car. I like the fact that it is a rare colour but the flip side of that is that I've not actually seen one and the pictures on autotrader are not the best quality. I'm wondering if the Red on the Zed is like the Green on the focus RS...by that i mean that in a picture the green RS looks ok but on seeing them up close the green paint looks so much deeper. Quote
deank93 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Posted February 9, 2011 I'll take a look on saturday That would be fantastic....very decent of you. Quote
Chris`I Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The red looks stunning in real life. I have dibs on AK's when he sells it Quote
Chris`I Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 Couple of pics in different light for ya to see the colour Quote
ChrisS Posted February 9, 2011 Posted February 9, 2011 The red looks stunning in real life. I have dibs on AK's when he sells it So who's having the Black Edition ? Quote
AK350Z Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 It's an ad for steering feel and less tramlining Red versus Red, not sunny though: Quote
Ebized Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Nice pic of ZMANALEX in his shirtsleeves giving your ZED the once over Shame about the old git in his winter coat and beanie getting in the pic though Quote
sidekickdmr Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Don't buy that, Buy mine http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2489481.htm Quote
Ebized Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Don't buy that, Buy mine http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2489481.htm Link to your for sale thread on here where any queries should be directed viewtopic.php?f=56&t=45826&p=674752#p674752 Quote
volumeone Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 I thought yellow was hot, but red is definitley the colour for me after seeing those pics. I think there was a Chilli Pepper Red on the pre-facelift models but I have yet to come across one. This one looks nice but too expensive for me: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... 5378492228 Quote

spursmaddave Posted February 10, 2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Shame about the old git in his winter coat and beanie getting in the pic though I think he is a stalker, I have seen him at a few of the meets I have been too Nice couple of Red Zed's there, I however would NEVER go Red Quote

Did the previous owner change it? Quote
