Ricey Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 To clarify by bargain price I also mean 'slightly over the odds' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Its closeby - granted. But to be honest I loved the prospect of driving mine 150 miles back home after buying it. Its in budget range. But so are lots of other ones. It has a Milltek and some LEDs. Not a deal breaker, I would never buy a broken car because it happens to have an aftermarket exhaust. People are trying to be helpful, they are a knowledgable lot, they are not (on the whole) taking the pi$$. Yes you could buy any car and it goes wrong, but you are certainly increasing the odds of that happening buying one off a dealer who is sticking on the market in poor condition. Its your call - but if parts do start failing, a Zed is not a cheap piece of kit to repair and your few hundred quid saved will turn into a few thousand lost.

Ricey Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 I take it you've noticed the dodgy head rest in pic 10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 And the drivers side seat bolster looks worn Mods you missed - stubby aerial - grim gear knob - some sort of Double din aftermarket radio - aftermarket spoiler - carbon wrapped centre console - limo tinted windows (rear quarter and back window) - black zed badges.

spursmaddave Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Dodgy head rest apart since when were zed electric seats memory? I guess my whole Zed is a memory car as whenever I park it up it remembers to stay there till i come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted June 24, 2012 Share Posted June 24, 2012 Carbon wrapped door grabs. The gear knob is a £10 jobbie off ebay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMetal Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 If the dealer wants to 'fix' the car provide a full list of the work done and gives you a sensible gaurantee, great, otherwise walk away. When I bought my Z it had the clickly axel problem i didnt notice during the test drive (found out a few days later). The dealer was pretty reasonable about it but insisted he fixed it (well within his rights) but it was still hassel to drive the car down, get a hire car, worry stress blah bla blah. Love my Z and spare no expense on keeping her in perfect shape, point being that if you buy from someone whose looked after it your feeling more secure, chances of anything happening are much lower and you should be avoiding any hassle. If id spotted the clicky axel on mine id probably have walked away or demanded it was fixed before a 2nd test drive and garanteed not to reappear for 18 months or whatever. Simply isnt worth the risk and thats for the common clicky axel let alone the engine! Z's arent common but they arent rare either, theres enough out there at good prices you can walk away if something isnt right. Like others I spent 6 months looking for mine, I saw some greta ones and terrible ones but always took my time, did my research and balanced it around what else was out there. End of the day its your choice but id pay for the security if I was you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
